I could be wrong, but I don't think IBM pays the BP a commission for the
renewals like they do on a new purchase, so why should the BP care?

All,

I was contemplating changing IBM BP when renewing HW maintenance and SWMA.
The BP I'm thinking of going _to_ tells me I can't do that because IBM
won't allow it. I was told the only way to change BP is to buy new
hardware. As long as I have my current HW, I _must_ renew through the BP I
purchased it from.

Is this true?
BP's do get a commission on renewals.

You will most likely need to send a letter on Company Letter Head to IBM requesting the change. It can be done, you r new BP should be able to provide you with the addresses eetc you will need.
