Bonus rules
BybitNew Bybit users can get welcome rewards of up to 5,000 USDT. Signing up brings a 20 USDT coupon right away; the rest is unlocked step by step through Bybit's new-user tasks — identity verification, a first deposit and trading. Most rewards arrive as coupons and trading bonuses rather than withdrawable cash, and the full amount is only reached with large deposits and volume. Rewards and tasks can differ by region. The bonus comes from Bybit's own promotion and is separate from the fee rebate; Bybit sets and may change its conditions, so check the official terms before you deposit.
MEXCNew MEXC users invited with the Getref link can get welcome rewards of up to 10,000 USDT. The rewards come from MEXC's own new-user promotion and are unlocked through tasks: sign up, verify your identity, make a first deposit and trade. Most of them arrive as futures bonuses, vouchers or other MEXC rewards rather than withdrawable cash, and the full amount is only reached with large deposits and volume. Rewards and tasks can differ by region. The bonus is separate from the fee rebate; MEXC sets and may change its conditions, so check the official terms before you deposit.

Bybit terms

MEXC

MEXC suits traders who want small and freshly listed tokens early and who care about keeping spot costs low. The rebate through Getref is a share of the fees you actually pay, so it matters most for taker orders and futures, where a fee is charged. If you mainly trade the largest coins and want the deepest order books, or MEXC does not operate in your country, compare the alternatives in the table. Remember that the invitation code only works on a new account: enter it on the sign-up form, because MEXC does not let you add it later.
