Bybit Fee Rebate: No Auto-Rebate, Up to 40% Bound

Bybit differs from most exchanges in one crucial way: it has no "auto rebate" layer. On Binance, Bitget, Gate, WEEX and MEXC, using the right referral code at signup means the exchange itself returns 20% to you. On Bybit, without a rebate site you get 0% — not a cent of your trading fees comes back. The only route is binding your UID through a rebate site, which pays up to 40% — and even your Bybit Earn yield is shared. This guide covers Bybit's rebate structure, what you actually pay in fees, how much comes back, how to claim it, and how existing users rebind.

What is a Bybit fee rebate, and why is the structure different?

Bybit also charges first and returns later: you pay the full fee at the trade and the rebate arrives afterwards, so the rate on the order ticket does not get cheaper. What is genuinely different is how many layers exist:

Elsewhere, Layer 1's 20% is at least available — though the referrer can set it to 0% and keep the lot, which is exactly how many YouTuber and KOL codes are configured. On Bybit that possibility does not exist: the exchange returns nothing, 100% of the fee stays with it, and whether the affiliate shares its cut is entirely the affiliate's call. Most KOLs share none of it.

In other words, "did you bind a rebate site" affects a Bybit user's real trading cost more than on any other exchange. For where the two layers come from, see Auto rebate vs extra rebate and Why you can get more than a 20% rebate.

First, know what you are paying: Bybit's list fees

A rebate is a percentage of the fee, not of the notional you trade. Bybit's list rates for regular (non-VIP) users:

Three things people trip over:

• The perpetual taker fee is 2.75× the maker fee. Every market order is a taker order. At the same notional, someone who works limit orders pays a little over a third of what a market-order trader pays.
• Spot costs roughly twice what perpetuals do. The same 1,000,000 USDT of notional generates 1,000 USDT of spot fees but only 550 USDT taking perpetuals — which also means spot traders accumulate XP and climb tiers much faster.
• VIP levels and Bybit card tiers are separate. Hitting a 30-day volume or asset threshold lowers your rates independently of the rebate.

The table reflects non-VIP list pricing as of August 2026 and Bybit may change it; for current rates see the official Bybit fee schedule, and for how each product is charged the Bybit trading fee structure.

How much can you get back? (tiers and rates)

The rebate rate is set by your tier, and your tier is set by XP — where XP is simply the fees you have paid in the last 30 days, in USDT. Pay 500 USDT in fees and you have 500 XP. No conversion.

Note that the Bybit column prints a single combined figure, not "auto + extra" — because Bybit has no auto layer, the entire number is what we share with you.

About "Supernova": the top Supernova tier (40% on Bybit) cannot be reached by trading volume. It is invitation-only, reserved for accounts of a certain size, and arranged case by case. The highest tier you can trade your way into is SVIP, at 35%.

What does that actually save you? Five worked examples

The most important point first: you do not need to be a big trader for our code to be worth using. On Bybit, an unbound account gets back nothing. Bound, entry-level Lv.1 is already 30% — the difference is not a multiple, it is between something and nothing.

Volume matters second: as your tier rises, the rate rises with it. Because XP is the fee amount itself, "how much you paid in fees this month" determines both which tier you are in and how much you get back:

The notional column is back-solved from the 0.055% perpetual taker rate. Posting limit orders (0.02% maker) needs 2.75× the notional for the same fee total. Spot (0.1%) needs about 55% of the perpetual-taker notional.

This table is a ceiling, not a promise. It assumes you were already in that tier for the whole month. In reality the rate is applied per fill, at the tier you were in when the fee was generated, so fees paid before you levelled up are rebated at the lower rate. Your first month comes in under the table; it converges once you settle into a tier.

One more thing: tiers look at a rolling 30-day XP window, not a lifetime total. Go quiet for a month and your tier drops.

Beyond trading: Bybit Earn yield is shared too

This is one area where Bybit beats the others. Bybit Earn puts idle assets to work, and once you are bound, we share the yield it generates with you as well — so both trading and Earn pay you back. Keep the two apart: the fee rebate is calculated on fees, the Earn share is calculated on interest. They are different bases with different rates and settlement. Full detail in the Bybit Earn yield-sharing guide.

Bybit registration steps and how to bind your UID

New users, follow this order. If you already have a Bybit account, skip to the rebinding section.

Step 1: register with the referral code

Register through the link on this site, or type NOVA888 into the referral-code field at signup. This decides whose account tree yours sits in — and therefore whether there is any rebate to claim.

Step 2: complete KYC

Accounts without KYC are feature-limited and cannot generate a calculable rebate. Usually minutes to a day.

Step 3: find your Bybit UID

Log in, click your avatar in the top right — the UID is a plain string of digits under your account name. It is the only thing binding requires: no API key, no password.

Step 4: bind the UID on the rebate site

Go to the Quant Nova rebate dashboard, choose Bybit, paste the UID and submit. We reconcile it against the invitee list the exchange reports to us, and it goes live once matched.

Step 5: trade, then check the books

From then on your daily fees, rebates, XP and tier post automatically, visible in near-real time, withdrawable at any time.

When does the rebate arrive?

Bybit has only one path, which actually makes it simpler than the others — there is no "two amounts in two places" problem:

Two details that catch people out:

• Only trades that actually generate a fee count. A trade with no fee produces no rebate and no volume credit.
• The rebate will not appear in your Bybit account. Because Bybit has no auto rebate, there is no refund entry on the exchange side at all — every cent of it sits in your rebate-site balance, where you check it and withdraw it.

Already have a Bybit account? Rebind to claim rebates

An existing account can still earn rebates, and you do not need to open a new one: rebinding attaches the account under NOVA888 and you start earning, with past assets and trade history untouched. This is one of Bybit's friendlier points — for the conditions, the steps and whether your account qualifies, see the Bybit rebinding guide.

Five mistakes people make

• Assuming Bybit has a 20% auto rebate too. It does not. Elsewhere that 20% comes from the exchange; on Bybit the layer simply is not there.
• Expecting the order-ticket fee to drop. It does not. Charged first, returned later.
• Binding the wrong UID. The UID is a numeric account ID — not a nickname, not an email. Sub-account commission rolls up to the master account's UID, so binding the master account is enough.
• Assuming tiers are permanent. XP is a rolling 30-day figure; stop trading and you drop a tier.
• Hunting for the rebate inside the Bybit account. It is not there. Bybit posts no refund entry; the whole rebate lives in the rebate-site balance.

How is this different from a KOL or another rebate site?

On Bybit, the familiar "use my code for a 20% fee discount" line has no exchange layer holding it up — whether you get anything, and how much, depends entirely on whether the affiliate gives up part of its own cut. Four things separate the offers:

• Whether they share at all. Most KOLs share nothing and your fees become their income. We share, at a published rate that scales with the tier table above.
• Whether Earn counts. We share Bybit Earn yield as well; most channels only look at trading.
• Whether the books are auditable. Every fee, every rebate, every XP and tier change is listed row by row — not one number at month end.
• Whether you can get it out. The balance is withdrawable at any time, with no minimum-threshold lockup.

FAQ

Does Bybit refund trading fees automatically?

No. Bybit offers no exchange-side auto fee rebate, unlike Binance, Bitget, Gate, WEEX and MEXC. The only route is binding your UID through a rebate site.

What is the maximum Bybit rebate?

The highest tier reachable by trading is SVIP at 35%. The 40% on the table is the invitation-only Supernova tier, arranged separately — not granted automatically by hitting a volume target.

How can you pay 35%–40%?

Because Bybit pays a single combined commission with no auto-rebate layer deducted first. We pass the large majority of what we receive back to you.

When is the rebate paid?

It is imported, matched and posted to your rebate-site balance after the exchange's daily report, typically from T+1 onwards. It does not appear in your Bybit account.

Is this safe? Can you touch my assets?

Binding needs only your UID — no API key, no password, no withdrawal permission. Your assets stay in your own Bybit account; the rebate site neither custodies nor can move them.

I already have a Bybit account. Can I still earn rebates?

Yes, through rebinding. No new account needed, and assets and history are unaffected. See the rebinding guide.

Is the rebate rate the same for spot and perpetuals?

The rate is the same, but the underlying fee rates differ a lot (spot 0.1%, perpetual taker 0.055%), so the same notional generates different rebate amounts — spot returns nearly twice as much.

Does Bybit Earn qualify?

Yes. Once bound, the yield your Earn positions generate is shared with you. That is interest sharing, with a different base and rate from the fee rebate — see the Earn yield-sharing guide.

What is XP and how is it calculated?

XP is the fees you have paid over the last 30 days, in USDT. 1 USDT of fees = 1 XP. It sets your tier, which sets your rebate rate. See How rebate tiers and XP work.

Can my tier go down?

Yes. XP is a rolling 30-day figure, not a lifetime total. Stop trading for a while and the tier falls. That said, even at the lowest Lv.1 Bybit still pays 30%, while an unbound Bybit account gets 0% — the gap is not a few percentage points, it is everything.

Is there a minimum withdrawal threshold?

There is no lockup. The balance accrues on the rebate site and can be withdrawn whenever you like.

Do sub-account fees count?

Yes. Sub-account trading commission is attributed to the master account's UID — that is how the exchange's commission report is structured. Bind the master account UID and everything your sub-accounts generate is included, with no separate binding needed.
