[Guide] How crypto exchange fee rebates actually work

Everyone pays trading fees, but with a referral set up right you get a big chunk back. Breakdown: 1) Works only on a NEW signup. Existing accounts don't get it retroactively. 2) Exchanges like Ourbit auto-credit a % of fees back to your account. No request. 3) Rates vary — use one that calculates from 100% official fees so numbers aren't inflated. 4) Perps taker fees are bigger, so the rebate feels larger. Near-mandatory for HFT. Bottom line: fees you'd pay anyway, back monthly in USDT just for a different signup link.
