Since the beginning of last month, a leading exchange quietly adjusted its commission rebate logic—from periodic batch settlements to real-time automatic rebates. Because of the change in how rebates are delivered, many users mistakenly feel that they “haven’t received their rebates.”

The actual process is very simple: go to the transaction history in your personal account, switch to the funds flow tab, and select the “Referred User Cashback” category in the filter options. There you’ll see the rebate details for each order. The system now executes rebates automatically at the highest rate, with no need for manual application.

Why do so many people feel like they “didn’t get” their rebate? The core reason is the change in payout frequency. Previously, rebates were accumulated over a period and then paid out in a lump sum—sometimes several hundred or even a thousand USDT at once, which was easy to notice. Now, each transaction is settled instantly: if your fee for a trade is 10 USDT, the system immediately returns 2 USDT; if the fee is 1 USDT, it instantly returns 0.2 USDT. The amount per transaction is smaller, but the total accumulates to the same amount. It’s just split into numerous small transfers, making them less noticeable in your account activity.

It’s worth noting that this feature needs to be enabled manually in the backend. Once activated, all users registered via your referral code will automatically receive rebates; the system enforces this without any “selective distribution.” However, some KOLs who specialize in commission rebates still haven’t enabled this option—even now. If users don’t proactively ask, the rebates end up in the KOL’s pocket.

This kind of operation can be completely avoided from a technical standpoint. Once auto-rebates are enabled, the platform will force settlement to the user, and no one can intercept it. If someone could let you receive your money automatically but chooses to wait until you ask, their motives are worth considering.

When it comes to real money, transparency and initiative usually speak louder than words. When choosing a partner, it’s wise to pay attention to how they handle details like these.
