UID-Only Fee Rebates: What We Need, What We Never Ask For, and When You Get Paid

Published 2026-10-15

Before you sign up for any rebate service, you should know two things: what they will ask you for, and when the money actually arrives. Most rebate pages are vague on both. This one is not.

What we need: your UID

Your UID is the account number the exchange shows on your profile. It is not secret — exchanges display it openly so people can send you internal transfers or verify your account. It lets us do one thing: match the trading volume and commission the exchange reports to us with your account on our site.

Where to find it:

ExchangeWhere the UID is
BybitApp → Profile → UID (next to your avatar)
BinanceApp → Profile → UID
OKXApp → Profile → UID
BitgetApp → Profile → UID
GateWebsite → Account → UID
MEXC, KuCoin, BingX, BloFinApp → Profile → UID

What we never ask for

If anyone claiming to be a rebate service asks for any of these "to activate your rebate", stop. That request is the scam.

Why only new accounts usually work

Exchanges attach a referrer to an account at the moment of registration and, as a rule, refuse to change it later. That means an account you opened before — directly or through someone else's link — usually cannot be moved to us. The common route is a new account registered through our link. Some exchanges have their own rules for sub-accounts; read them, and never break an exchange's terms to get a rebate.

The timeline: October trades, paid in November

  1. October 1–31: you trade. Every fill generates a fee; the exchange books part of it as referral commission.
  2. During the month: your dashboard shows volume and fees as the exchange reports them. Some exchanges report daily; some only monthly, in which case figures are marked "estimated" until the statement arrives.
  3. After October 31: the month closes. We reconcile against the exchange's figures.
  4. 7-day hold: your October rebate stays locked for 7 days after month end. That window exists because exchanges can still adjust or claw back commission — for wash trading, self-referral, promotion abuse or a closed account. Paying instantly would mean asking for money back later.
  5. From about November 7: the rebate becomes withdrawable. Minimum 10 USDT, on TRC20, BEP20 or Arbitrum One. Below the minimum, it simply rolls into next month's balance.

What one month looks like in numbers

Say you traded $200,000 of Bybit perpetuals in October, all taker at 0.055%:

You can check this yourself: your exchange's trade history shows the $110 in fees, and your dashboard shows the fees and the rebate side by side. Divide one by the other and you get the "% off fees" figure printed next to that exchange on our home page.

What if something changes

One honest caveat

A rebate returns part of a cost you already chose to pay. It never exceeds the fee, so trading more to earn rebates always costs more than it returns. Use it on the trades you were going to make anyway.

Not investment advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to trade, to use leverage, or to use any particular exchange. Trading crypto derivatives can lose you more than you deposit. We are paid a commission by exchanges on the fees you generate, so we earn more when you trade more — read everything here with that in mind.
