Before We Begin
In the process of helping hundreds of traders understand Binance rebates, I've collected the 15 most frequently asked questions. Today I'll answer them all at once -- bookmark this for future reference.
Registration-Related Questions
Question 1: Can I Add an Invite Code After Registration?
Answer: No.
Binance referral relationships must be established during registration. You cannot add an invite code after the account is created. If you've already registered without using an invite code, here are your options:
| Option | Feasibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Add invite code later | Not possible | Binance doesn't support this |
| Register with a new email | Possible | Create a new account with a new email |
| Request via customer support | Very unlikely | Success rate is very low |
| Use other discounts | Possible | BNB deduction etc. don't require an invite code |
Recommendation: If your existing account doesn't have significant assets or trading history, consider registering with a new email. The long-term savings from rebates make it well worth it.
Question 2: Can One Person Register Multiple Accounts?
Answer: Not recommended.
Binance's terms of service require each person to register only one account. If multiple accounts are detected belonging to the same person, accounts may be restricted. Each KYC identity can only verify one account.
Question 3: Why Do Different Referral Links Offer Different Rebate Rates?
Answer: Because referrers can freely set the rebate percentage shared with referred users.
The total commission a referrer earns is fixed (e.g., 20% of the referred user's fees), but the referrer can choose to share a portion with the referred user. Some referrers are generous and give you 80%; others are conservative and give you only 20%.
| Referrer's Setting | Your Rebate | Referrer Keeps |
|---|---|---|
| Gives you 20% | 4% of fees | 16% of fees |
| Gives you 50% | 10% of fees | 10% of fees |
| Gives you 80% | 16% of fees | 4% of fees |
This is why choosing a referral link with a high rebate rate is very important.
Rebate Rate Questions
Question 4: What's the Maximum Rebate Rate?
Answer: It depends on the referrer's account conditions.
| Referrer Condition | Total Commission Rate | Maximum You Can Receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard account | 20% | Up to 100% of 20% = 20% |
| Holding 500+ BNB | 40% (spot) | Up to 100% of 40% = 40% |
Theoretically, if the referrer gives you 100% of their commission, you could receive up to 40% of your fees as rebates (requires the referrer to hold 500 BNB).
Question 5: Can the Rebate Rate Change?
Answer: Under normal circumstances, no.
The rebate rate established at registration is permanently valid. However, changes may occur in these situations:
| Situation | Impact |
|---|---|
| Referrer modifies split | No impact (existing users' rates don't change) |
| Binance adjusts rules | May impact (refer to official announcements) |
| Referrer's account issues | Usually doesn't affect your rebates |
Question 6: What's the Relationship Between Rebates and VIP Fee Discounts?
Answer: They are independent and stackable.
- VIP level reduces the base fee rate
- Rebates are calculated based on the actual fee paid
Example: VIP 1 user, Maker rate 0.09%, trading 10,000 USDT
- Fee: 9 USDT (VIP 1 rate)
- Rebate (20%): 1.8 USDT
- Actual cost: 7.2 USDT
Both discounts take effect simultaneously without conflicting.
Crediting and Withdrawal Questions
Question 7: How Long Until Rebates Are Credited?
Answer: Usually within a few hours.
| Situation | Expected Crediting Time |
|---|---|
| Normal trades | Within a few hours |
| System busy | 12-24 hours |
| System maintenance | Credited after maintenance ends |
| First rebate | May take slightly longer |
If not credited after 24 hours, we recommend contacting support.
Question 8: Can Rebates Be Withdrawn?
Answer: Yes. Once rebates are credited, they are normal funds in your account.
You can:
- Use them directly for trading
- Withdraw to an external wallet
- Transfer to your futures account
- Deposit into Earn products
There are no additional withdrawal restrictions.
Question 9: What Currency Are Rebates Paid In?
Answer: The same currency you paid fees in.
| Trading Scenario | Rebate Currency |
|---|---|
| BTC/USDT trade | USDT |
| ETH/BTC trade | BTC |
| USDT-M futures | USDT |
| BTC Coin-M futures | BTC |
| Fees paid with BNB | BNB |
Rules and Mechanics Questions
Question 10: How Are Rebates Calculated When Using BNB Fee Deduction?
Answer: Rebates are calculated based on the actual fee after BNB deduction.
Calculation example (10,000 USDT spot trade, 20% rebate):
| Step | Without BNB | With BNB |
|---|---|---|
| Standard fee | 10 USDT | 10 USDT |
| BNB deduction | - | -2.5 USDT |
| Actual fee | 10 USDT | 7.5 USDT (paid in BNB) |
| Rebate (20%) | 2 USDT | 1.5 USDT (returned in BNB) |
| Final cost | 8 USDT | 6 USDT |
Although the rebate amount is smaller with BNB (1.5 vs 2), the final cost is lower (6 vs 8). So BNB deduction is still worth enabling.
Question 11: Do Futures Funding Rates Generate Rebates?
Answer: No.
Rebates only apply to trading fees (opening and closing positions) and do not include:
- Funding rates (charged every 8 hours)
- Liquidation fees (in some cases)
- Other non-trading fees
Question 12: Do Rebates Have an Expiration Date?
Answer: No, they are permanently valid.
As long as your account was registered through a referral link, the rebate relationship is permanently valid. There is no scenario where "rebates are canceled after 3 months."
However, note:
- Binance may adjust referral program rules (refer to official announcements)
- If your account is banned for violations, rebates naturally cease
- As long as you use the account normally, rebates are lifelong
Question 13: Can the Referrer See My Trading Information?
Answer: They cannot see specific trading information.
The referrer can only see:
- The commission amount you contributed
- Your registration date
- Whether you are active (general information only)
The referrer cannot see:
- Your specific trade records
- Your position information
- Your account balance
- Your personal information
Special Situation Questions
Question 14: What If My Rebate Hasn't Arrived?
Answer: Follow these troubleshooting steps.
Step 1: Wait Normal crediting takes a few hours. Don't rush.
Step 2: Confirm Referral Relationship Check the referral page to confirm that referrer information is displayed.
Step 3: Verify the Trade Confirm the trade was successfully completed and generated fees.
Step 4: Check Special Situations
| Situation | Generates Rebate? |
|---|---|

| Full fee voucher used | No |
| Pending order not filled | No |
| Trade was reversed | No |
| Normal filled trade | Yes |
Step 5: Contact Support If the rebate still hasn't arrived after 24 hours and all above causes are ruled out, contact Binance support with:
- Account information
- Trade order number
- Trade time
- Expected rebate amount
Question 15: Can Binance Change the Referral Program Rules?
Answer: Possibly, but changes are usually announced in advance.
Historical major changes:
| Timing | Change Content | User Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Periodic | Commission rate adjustments | May affect newly registered users |
| Periodic | New reward types added | Usually good news |
| Periodic | Rules refined | Greater transparency |
We recommend regularly following Binance's official announcements to stay updated on the latest referral program changes.
