Plain OKX referral code

20^%

OKX's own automatic invitee discount, its own published cap

ReturnFee's code

60^%

Same 20% from OKX, plus 40% more ReturnFee pays out of its own affiliate commission

Most OKX referral codes floating around only ever get you OKX's own standard invitee discount, capped at 20% of the trading fee commission by OKX's own affiliate program rules, no code can move it higher on its own. A code paired with a rebate program can add a second discount on top of it, paid separately, out of the referrer's own commission. That is the only way the number goes above 20%, and it is worth checking before you trust a page that claims otherwise.

What ReturnFee's code actually does

Signing up through okx.com/join/DOTRADE attributes your account to ReturnFee's own affiliate program on OKX. From there:

OKX's own 20% applies automatically the moment your account is attributed, with or without any further step.
ReturnFee's own 40% is paid on top, out of ReturnFee's own affiliate commission on your trading, once you register your OKX UID.
Total: 60% of the trading fee commission your account generates, back to you.

"The invitee's rebate rate ranges from 0% to 20%."

OKX's real fee, read from its own page

Symbol	Maker	Taker	Source	Read
BTC/USDT perpetual, standard tier (VIP 0)	0.020%	0.050%	OKX fee schedule	2026-09-04

Rate read from OKX's own published fee-schedule page, verified 2026-09-04. The taker rate applies to most retail order flow; the maker rate is lower and applies to resting limit orders.

What 60% is worth in dollars

At $50,000 in monthly OKX futures volume, entirely at the taker rate of 0.050%:

Fee paid to OKX: $50,000 × 0.050% = $25.00 that month.
OKX's own automatic 20%: $5.00, credited by OKX itself, with or without ReturnFee.
ReturnFee's own 40%, on top: $10.00, out of ReturnFee's own affiliate commission.
Total back: $15.00, 60% of the $25.00 in fees that month.

The percentage is fixed by ReturnFee's own published rebate offer; the dollar amount moves with your own trading volume, not with any promise about returns.

How to use it

1. Sign up through the link, not a plain code typed in later okx.com/join/DOTRADE attributes the account at signup. An account that already exists on OKX cannot be switched over to a new referrer after the fact.

2. Register your OKX UIDSubmit your OKX account UID and a contact address (email or Telegram) on the ReturnFee registration form, never your OKX login or password.

3. Trade, and get your share paid to your OKX account OKX's own 20% applies automatically. ReturnFee's own 40% is currently paid out manually, on request, until per-member commission reporting is wired up on OKX the way it already is on Bitget's daily automatic payout.
