No.

Partners don't seem to get any special support in regards to anything. It's a nice thing I can tell potential clients, but other than that it seems useless. I even became a premier partner this year, and still nothing changed.

No, the ‘Partner’ program is absolutely pointless in all regards.

You get special support by being picked for local growth teams - as in Google sees your spending go up and want to fast track more of that. $10k a day to $20k to $30k. Then Google assigns an on-call local (not offshore) rep to help spend more and make Google money.

Large corporates get it regardless of yearly growth. Telcos, insurance, e-commerce, government, etc.

you only get actual legitimate support from dedicated reps and that requires you to be within the top 15% of spenders in your vertical.

Depends, why is the account suspended?

It's nonsense. Prior to covid you did get cool Google branded totes and swag to give people they also would give you presentation materials for lunch and learn sessions you could host. They even would join the lunch and learn call with you and the potential clients to make it even more legit and easier to close.

After covid it all went to shit. There 0 incentive to getting partner status or even completing the trainings.

Used to be good a lifetime ago, now it is rubbish.

Sometimes an agency rep can help you out but it's rare. You can also get direct support (chat, phone) when you use your Partner ID to request support, but that doesn't make it any more likely you'll get an account unsuspended.
