Collect five records

Keep the referral relationship, invitee rate, eligible products and dates, execution fee records and reward ledger. Separate spot, derivatives and wallet activity. A shared brand does not imply a shared program. Match time zones, settlement dates and fee tokens.

Investigate a difference

Assume 100,000 USDT daily volume and 80 USDT paid fees. If 20 USDT falls outside verified eligibility, only 60 USDT qualifies. At an illustrative 20% invitee rate the expected rebate is 12 USDT, not 16 USDT. This is arithmetic, not a promise for an account.

If the reward ledger shows 8 USDT, check settlement boundaries, payment in another token, claiming requirements, unsettled fills and campaign credits. Do not immediately conclude the program failed or generate more turnover merely to test payment.

Normalize currencies and scope

Preserve native fee quantities and separately record conversion prices and timestamps. Separate valuation changes from missing rewards. If opening and closing both incur fees, count both legs. Funding, borrowing interest and withdrawal charges require their own eligibility checks.

Contact official support

Provide transaction identifiers, settlement dates, applicable offer terms and a redacted amount comparison. Never submit private keys, full API credentials, verification codes or recovery material. Retain the ticket identifier and response for a consistent follow-up.

FAQ

Is a higher percentage always cheaper?

No. Actual fee levels, execution mix and product eligibility determine the result.

How should pending rebates appear?

Show estimates separately. Report gross cost and net cost after credited rewards so an expected payment is not treated as cash.
