What a rebate is, how referral codes work, and what to check before you trust one.
Payback goes to your exchange account.
Add your exchange UID to your ReturnFee account once.
Trade on your own exchange account, exactly as before. Nothing about your orders changes.
Payback is paid daily, and automatically to your exchange account on OKX, Bitget and MEXC. On Binance it goes to your payout address.
It's an exchange referral program, the same mechanism exchanges already run. What makes one trustworthy versus not.

Sign up to the exchange with a ReturnFee invite code, then add your exchange UID to your ReturnFee account. For Binance, you also need to enter a payout address when you link your UID. See the payout policy.
ReturnFee is a rebate service. You sign up on OKX, Bitget, Binance or MEXC with a ReturnFee invite code, and ReturnFee shares part of the fees the exchange gives it for referring you, on top of whatever discount the exchange already gives you automatically. It is not an exchange, a wallet, or an investment product, and it does not touch your funds or your trades.
From the exchange's own affiliate program. When you trade under ReturnFee's attribution, the exchange gives ReturnFee part of the trading fees you already pay, and ReturnFee shares part of that same amount with you. It is not a bonus ReturnFee funds from somewhere else; it only exists because the exchange gives it to ReturnFee first.
Because affiliate payment is the exchange's own standard cost of acquiring a trader, and every major exchange runs a public affiliate program that offers it. OKX, Bitget, Binance and MEXC each also apply their own automatic referral discount to referred users, by their own rules, regardless of who refers them.
Each exchange has one fixed rate: OKX 60%, Bitget 55%, MEXC 50% and Binance 45% back. The exact rates are on the Rates page.
Your rebate is calculated from the amount the exchange actually reports and actually gives ReturnFee, not from a projection. If the exchange reverses, cancels or claws back a trade before paying it, that amount never counts toward your balance. ReturnFee cannot share money the exchange did not give it.
Your exchange, your account UID, and a contact email address. The UID is how ReturnFee matches you to the fees the exchange reports against your account. The contact address is how ReturnFee confirms your registration and reaches you about payouts. ReturnFee never asks for your exchange login, password or API keys.
Your accrual is shown on your dashboard so you can check it against the exchange's own reporting for your UID. If you want to verify the mechanism first, start with a small amount before trusting it with more.
ReturnFee is not a licensed custodian and does not hold member funds in escrow. Payback comes from its own affiliate income as that income arrives. If ReturnFee stopped operating, any payback accrued but not yet paid out could be lost, the same risk as with any small affiliate-rebate operator rather than a regulated financial institution.
No. We never ask for your exchange API keys or password. We cannot log in to, trade on or withdraw from your exchange account.
A UID cannot be used to access an exchange account, and we hold no API keys or passwords of yours. The realistic risk is phishing aimed at your email, so treat any message asking for a key or password as fake.
No. ReturnFee is trading-fee cashback only, and we never contact scam victims or charge upfront fees.
