Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Oracle Support Rewards program?
Oracle Support Rewards is a program that provides additional value to Oracle’s on-premises software customers who also consume Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services. Customers earn support rewards based on their consumption of OCI services that are then applied as a form of payment for their Software Update License and Support for Oracle Technology Programs.
-
Who is eligible for this program?
Customers using Oracle’s on-premises software become eligible for Oracle Support Rewards when they enter a new Universal Credits order and begin consuming OCI. OCI Pay As You Go customers are not eligible at this time.
-
Is this program available globally?
Yes. This is available in all regions at launch, except for US Public Sector.
-
Do I accrue rewards for my Oracle SaaS usage?
No. Though Oracle Cloud Applications run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Applications such as Oracle Cloud ERP are not eligible
-
How are rewards accrued?
As OCI services are consumed, customers accrue Support Rewards to apply as a form of payment to any open invoice for on-premises support of Oracle Technology Programs.
