MEXC referral code: what it gives and how to use it

Two separate things, and many code pages blur them. The first is a fee rebate: MEXC returns part of the trading fees you pay. The second is a welcome bonus, which is a promotion with its own conditions. The rebate lowers your costs. The bonus is a different mechanism and should be judged on its own terms.

The figures come from Getref's catalog and show their check date and source when rendered. Where a cell reads "to be confirmed", Getref has not verified that value yet. For background on how this works in general, see what a fee rebate is.

The code has to go in when you create the account. MEXC describes the invitation flow on its Learn page about inviting friends and on its invite page. Screens change, so follow what you see on the live page.

Getref is a partner of MEXC. It may earn a commission from the exchange when you open an account through its link, and this does not change your terms on MEXC. The rebate and any bonus are calculated and paid by MEXC. Getref pays only its own points, described on the rewards page.

The effective fee is what you pay after the rebate. On spot, MEXC's maker fee is 0%^{verified Oct 13} and the taker fee is 0.05%^{verified Oct 13}. The rebate applies to the fee you actually pay, so a zero maker fee leaves nothing to return on those orders. The taker side is where the rebate matters.

To run your own numbers with your typical volume, use the calculator below. The method is explained in how to calculate trading fee savings.

A rebate lowers the cost of trading. It does not make a trade profitable.

Getref could not confirm this from a verified source, so it does not state it as fact. The headline is up to up to 10,000 USDT^{verified Oct 13}, and "up to" matters: most users should not expect the top amount. Bonuses of this kind often depend on a deposit or trading task, a deadline and eligibility rules, and they may be usable only for certain products.

Before you count on a bonus of up to up to 10,000 USDT^{verified Oct 13}, read MEXC's current bonus terms on the invite page and the support article about the lowest fees. Look for four things: what you must deposit or trade, by when, which accounts are excluded, and whether the bonus can be withdrawn or only used as trading credit. The difference between the three reward types is covered in rebate vs cashback vs welcome bonus.

If you registered without the code, do not assume you can fix it later. Referral codes usually cannot be added to an existing account. Whether MEXC offers any recovery route, and for how long, is to be confirmed. Contact MEXC support and read what to do if you forgot a referral code before you open a second account, since extra accounts may breach MEXC's rules.

To check the rebate arrived:

• Make a small spot taker trade after sign-up, since maker orders at a zero fee leave nothing to return.
• Look in your MEXC fee or rebate records, and compare the fee charged with the rebate share from the table above.
• Check that the account shows as invited through the partner link. If you cannot see this, ask MEXC support.
• Remember that MEXC calculates and pays the rebate. Getref cannot see your trades or your balance.

The partner cabinet on Getref's side shows only that an account was opened through its link, and Getref asks only for your UID. For the fuller picture, see how exchanges pay rebates.

Getref does not guess. Availability depends on your country and on MEXC's own rules, and those rules change. Check MEXC's terms and restricted-region information on mexc.com before you register, and do not use a code or link to get around a restriction. Getref's MEXC exchange page summarizes what the catalog has checked and when.

MEXC suits traders who mostly use spot, place taker orders often, and want the fee cost lowered through a rebate. MEXC lists 2018 as its founding year, which says nothing by itself about safety. If you place mostly maker orders, a rebate on a zero maker fee has little to work on.

Look elsewhere if you need a rebate with a cap or period that you can verify today, since those values are still to be confirmed. Also look elsewhere if you want certainty about the bonus before signing up. Compare side by side before you decide: Binance vs MEXC, Bybit vs MEXC and KuCoin vs MEXC. Another exchange may be better for you on products, fees or availability.
