Trading fees might seem small at first glance (0.1% on Binance Spot), but for active traders, these fees compound rapidly and eat into your profits. Fortunately, Binance offers a referral program that allows new users to receive a lifetime kickback on their trading fees. Here is how to ensure you get the maximum 20% discount.
The Truth About Binance Referral Codes
You will see thousands of Binance referral codes online, but not all are created equal. When an affiliate generates a link, they can choose how to split the 20% base commission with the invitee.
- 0% Kickback: The affiliate keeps 20%, you get 0%. (Most common on YouTube/Twitter).
- 10% Kickback: The affiliate keeps 10%, you get 10%.
- 20% Kickback: The affiliate gives you the maximum 20% rebate. (This is what we offer).
How to Verify Your 20% Discount
You don't have to guess if a code is legitimate. When you click a referral link and land on the Binance registration page, look directly under the "Referral ID" field. You MUST see the text: "Your commission kickback rate: 20%". If you do not see this text, the code does not offer the maximum discount.
How to Stack Discounts for Maximum Savings
The 20% referral kickback is just the beginning. You can stack this with Binance's native BNB fee deduction for even greater savings.
- Register with a 20% link: This gives you a base 20% refund on fees.
- Buy a small amount of BNB: Purchase $10-$20 worth of Binance Coin (BNB).
- Enable "Pay Fees with BNB": Go to your dashboard settings and toggle this option on. This gives you an immediate 25% discount on Spot trading fees (and 10% on Futures).
By combining both methods, your effective Spot trading fee drops from 0.100% to 0.060%.
💡 Important: The 20% referral kickback is paid out in real-time. After every trade you make, 20% of the fee you paid is instantly deposited back into your Spot Wallet.

Claim 20% Fee DiscountFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. I already have a Binance account. Can I add the referral code now?
No. Referral codes can only be applied at the exact moment of account creation. If you already registered without a code, you cannot add one retroactively.
2. Can I delete my account and create a new one to get the discount?
Binance allows users to delete their accounts. However, you must wait for the deletion process to complete before you can use the same email/KYC documents to register a new account with a referral link.
3. How long does the 20% fee discount last?
The Spot trading fee kickback is valid for the lifetime of the account. The Futures trading fee kickback (typically 10%) is usually valid for the first 30 days after opening a Futures account.
4. How do I know if I am receiving the kickbacks?
You can verify this by going to your Binance Dashboard, navigating to "Orders" > "Transaction History", and looking for entries labeled "Referral Kickback".
5. Does the discount apply to withdrawal fees?
No. The referral kickback and the BNB discount only apply to trading fees (Spot, Margin, and Futures). They do not apply to blockchain network withdrawal fees or fiat deposit fees.
6. What happens if I run out of BNB for fees?
If your BNB balance reaches zero, Binance will automatically revert to charging the standard 0.1% fee in the crypto you are trading. You will still receive your 20% referral kickback on that standard fee.
7. Why does my friend's link only offer 10%?
Standard Binance users can only share a maximum of 10% with their friends. Only verified Binance Affiliates (like CryptoInsight) have the ability to generate 20% kickback links.
8. Does the discount apply to Binance Convert?
Binance Convert advertises "zero fees," but it includes a spread in the price quote. Referral kickbacks do not apply to Binance Convert transactions; they only apply to trades made on the Spot/Futures order books.
9. Can I change my referral code later?
No. The referral code is permanently bound to your account upon registration. It cannot be changed or removed by you or by Binance customer support.
10. Is there a limit to how much kickback I can earn?
No. There is no cap on the kickback amount. Whether you trade $100 or $1,000,000, you will receive 20% of the trading fees back.
11. Do I get the discount on P2P trading?
Binance P2P is generally fee-free for "Takers" (buyers/sellers taking existing ads). Therefore, there are no fees to apply a discount to. "Makers" pay a small fee, but referral kickbacks usually do not apply to P2P maker fees.
12. What is the VIP tier system?
If you trade massive volumes (e.g., millions of dollars per month), you can upgrade to VIP status, which lowers your base trading fees even further. The referral kickback still applies to your new, lower VIP fee rate.
