MEXC sign up bonus: the real conditions

The MEXC sign up bonus is task-based and always “up to” an amount, so what you receive depends on the tasks you finish, not on a headline figure. It is separate from the fee rebate of 20%verified Oct 13 that MEXC calculates and pays on accounts opened through a partner link. Conditions are below.

Does MEXC have a sign-up bonus, and how much can you get?

MEXC runs welcome campaigns for new users, normally through a rewards section on the official MEXC site. Getref could not open an official MEXC page while preparing this guide. For that reason it does not quote a bonus amount, a deadline or a country list from memory.

What the catalog shows today is below. Anything marked “to be confirmed” has not been checked against an official source yet.

Other sites print different amounts and different codes for the same exchange. Campaigns change, and many of those pages copy each other. Treat any figure you cannot trace to an official MEXC page as unconfirmed, and check the dates on it.

Getref may earn a commission from the exchange if you open an account through the card below. This does not change your terms on MEXC.

What do you have to do to get the MEXC sign-up bonus?

A bonus of this kind is tied to tasks, and each task has its own requirement, deadline and list of excluded users. Those details live in MEXC's own rewards section, so read them there before you deposit anything.

  1. Open the sign-up page through Getref's partner link, or type the referral code mexc-GETREF into the code field while you register. The code usually cannot be added afterwards.
  2. Finish registration and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA).
  3. Complete KYC (identity verification) if MEXC asks for it. Some tasks and some countries may require it.
  4. Open the rewards section on the official site. For every task, note what must be deposited or traded, by when, and who is excluded.
  5. Optional: copy your UID from the MEXC account and submit it on Getref's tasks page to be counted for Getref points.

Getref has no access to your MEXC account and does not see your trades. MEXC's partner cabinet shows only that an account was opened through Getref's link, which is why Getref asks for the UID and nothing else. Getref points are Getref's own reward, not money. See Getref Rewards for how they work.

For the code itself, see the MEXC referral code guide.

Bonus, fee rebate or referral commission: which is which?

These are three different things, and mixing them up is the main reason bonus pages contradict each other.

TermWhat it isWho pays
Welcome bonusA reward for completing tasks, always up to an amount and with conditionsMEXC
Fee rebateA share of the trading fees you pay, returned to youMEXC
Referral commissionWhat an exchange pays a partner or referrer for bringing a userMEXC, to the referrer
Getref pointsGetref's own reward for opening an account through its linksGetref

A rebate lowers your costs on trades you already make. It is not a bonus and it is not cashback in the strict sense. For the distinctions, read rebate vs cashback vs welcome bonus, what a fee rebate is and how exchanges pay rebates.

What is the effective fee on MEXC after the rebate?

On spot, the catalog lists a maker fee of 0%verified Oct 13 and a taker fee of 0.05%verified Oct 13 before the rebate. The rebate share is 20%verified Oct 13 of the fees you pay. As plain arithmetic, a share of a zero fee is zero, so on spot the rebate matters mostly for taker orders. Futures maker and taker fees are to be confirmed and to be confirmed, and the table below shows them once they are checked.

    The method is explained in how to calculate trading fee savings.

    What if you forgot to enter the referral code?

    A referral code is usually entered at sign-up and usually cannot be added later. If you already registered without it, the first step is the forgot referral code guide.

    Whether MEXC offers any recovery window for a missed code is to be confirmed. Ask MEXC support through the official site and read its terms before opening a second account. Duplicate accounts can break an exchange's rules and put your bonus at risk.

    How do you check the rebate is arriving?

    Getref cannot see your rebates, because MEXC calculates and pays them. You have to check on the exchange side.

    1. Write down your date of sign-up and which link or code you used.
    2. After some spot trades, look in your MEXC account for the fee history and for the rewards or referral-related sections. Menu names change, so Getref does not describe the exact screens.
    3. Compare what you see with the calculator estimate above. Small differences are normal, because fees depend on the order type and your tier.
    4. If nothing arrives, contact MEXC support with your UID and the date you registered.

    Who suits MEXC, and who should look elsewhere?

    MEXC suits traders who mostly place spot orders and want a low listed maker fee. It also suits those willing to read task conditions closely. Its operating history since 2018 is not a measure of safety. Proof of reserves, where published, is not an audit.

    Look elsewhere if you want a bonus without tasks, or need an exchange available in a country you have confirmed it serves. Check availability on the official MEXC site and do not rely on third-party lists. Compare alternatives side by side: Binance vs MEXC and Bybit vs MEXC. Neither is better for everyone. See the MEXC page for the current offer and how Getref checks numbers.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is there a no-deposit bonus on MEXC?

    Getref could not confirm a no-deposit bonus on an official MEXC page. Claims on third-party sites should be checked against the rewards section of mexc.com, where each task lists its requirements.

    Which countries cannot use the MEXC bonus?

    Getref has not confirmed a country list, so it does not say which countries are open or closed. Check the restrictions in MEXC's terms and on each task's page before you register or deposit.

    Can I withdraw MEXC bonus funds?

    This is unconfirmed. Bonus rewards often come with conditions on trading or time before anything can be withdrawn, so read the terms of each task on the official site.

    Why do other sites show different MEXC bonus amounts and codes?

    Campaigns change over time, each partner has its own code, and many pages copy older figures. Use only amounts you can trace to an official MEXC page, and check their date.

    Is a rebate the same as cashback?

    No. A rebate returns a share of the trading fees you paid, while cashback usually refers to a reward on spending or a promotion. Getref says which one is meant on every page.
