OKX referral code: how to enter AMY568 and the 20% rebate (2026)

The OKX referral code goes in the "Referral Code" field on the registration page. New users can enter AMY568 when signing up; it is mainly for a trading-fee rebate, not a sign-up reward.

If you have already registered, check whether the account has had any login, trade or deposit activity in the last 180 days to judge whether re-binding is still possible.^[1]

Registration itself takes a few minutes; the two things people regret most are skipping the referral-code field and expecting a pile of free crypto.

Note: this article shares experience about referral codes and the rebate mechanism, and is not investment advice. Trading crypto carries risk; act with caution.

First, the key questions answered; the detail follows below:

What is the OKX referral code

Many people think that after entering the code, a sum of crypto or cash will appear in the account out of nowhere. It won't.

The OKX referral code is essentially used to bind a referral relationship, and eligible users can receive a trading-fee rebate. You generate fees when you trade, and the code's rule returns part of them to you; if you don't trade, there are no fees, so there's nothing to rebate.

Here's a common confusion with "direct discount": OKX's code usually works as a fee rebate — the fee is charged normally first, then a percentage is returned to your account (usually settled hourly). This differs from the "discount at registration" model at some exchanges: one returns after charging, the other charges less at the same step. Both ultimately lower your real fee cost, but the form is different; don't mix them up.

Also note: the rebate is calculated on net fees. If you use rebate cards or trial credits to cover part of a fee, the covered part is usually not included in the rebate base. So don't treat "20% back on every trade, always" as an iron rule; go by what the "Fee rebate" page in your account shows in real time.

One more distinction: as the person entering the code, you are in a referral relationship — the invitee receives the fee rebate. The "affiliate / node program" is a separate system in which the inviter receives a commission. Don't confuse the two.

Where do you enter the OKX referral code?

Many people search for "where to enter the OKX referral code". It sits within the registration flow:

• Web registration: the "Referral Code" field on the registration page
• App registration: the "Referral Code" field in the registration flow
• Already registered: usually it can't be changed directly; you need to check the recall eligibility

How much does AMY568 rebate? 2026 verification record

AMY568 is the code entered by the invitee, and it corresponds to your own fee rebate as the invitee. Here is the verification record, based on OKX's registration page and public rules:

Note: the above is a verification record compiled in September 2026 from OKX's public pages and rules (not a trade with real funds). OKX adjusts rules by region and account type; the final percentage is whatever your registration page and account show in real time.

To make the "20%" concrete, here is a simplified example using regular-user fees (spot taker about 0.10%, futures about 0.05%), excluding rebate-card offsets and funding fees, only to show the order of magnitude:^[2]

For frequent traders, that percentage accumulated over time is a real cost difference. Conversely, if you trade once or twice a year in small amounts, the money you save may not be worth the time you spent reading this article — in that case, entering the code or not makes little difference.

What does the OKX fee rebate cover?

The rebate applies only to "trading fees", not to every operation. Understand this boundary first, so you don't think it "didn't work" when no rebate appears after a trade:

If your account has other fee benefits, the final fee and the rebate calculation are governed by what your OKX account page shows.

Regional restrictions and scope

Rebates differ by region; they are not the same everywhere. Some regions may have scope limits — for example, only certain products, or no fee rebate at all.

So don't rely only on a percentage advertised by a third party; the rules for your region and your account page are what count.

What if the referral-code field doesn't appear?

If you don't see the referral-code field during registration, check these first:

• Whether you entered the registration page through an invitation link
• Whether you chose the right registration flow (phone / email)
• Whether you have actually already completed registration

An account that is already registered usually can't add the code later; check whether it meets the recall conditions (see "What if you're an existing user" below).

How to enter the code

Before registering, check these three items; it matters more than memorising the steps:

The process is tied to registration. If you want the full walkthrough, see the OKX registration tutorial; here I only cover the code step.

On the web

1. Open the official site okx.com and tap "Sign up" in the top right;
2. enter your email or phone number and set a password;
3. find the "Referral Code / Referral" field and enter AMY568;
4. complete the email or SMS verification and registration is done.

In the app

1. Open the OKX app and tap "Sign up";
2. enter your email/phone number and password in order;
3. enter AMY568 in the "Referral Code" field;
4. complete verification and registration is complete.

The key action is one: enter AMY568 in the referral-code field during the registration step, then finish registering. That's the safest approach.

If you want to use this site's code, you don't have to type it by hand — use the registration link at the end and AMY568 fills in automatically.

Once registration is done and you're ready for your first purchase, see the how to buy USDT on OKX tutorial.

What if you're an existing user

Whether you can add it comes down to one condition: whether there has been activity in the last 180 days.

Under OKX's official affiliate program rules, an existing user eligible for "recall" must meet: no login, no deposits, no trading and no withdrawals/transfers in the last 180 days. The recall must also be triggered through an invitation link or code; simply opening the app and signing in does not count as a valid recall.

Two cautions: after a successful recall, the system creates a new referral relationship and automatically removes the old one; it is a "re-binding", not something that stacks. If you don't meet the conditions, you can't force the binding, and it's not worth churning your account just for the rebate. Above all, never hand your account, verification codes or identity information to any third party claiming they can "change your referral code manually".

Mistakes I made

Mistake 1: thought the rebate was "free crypto at sign-up"

Scenario: I entered the code, registered, then stared at the account waiting for money to arrive. Nothing came, and I thought I'd been scammed.

Cause: mistaking a "fee rebate" for a "sign-up reward". In reality it is a return of part of your future trading fees; if you don't trade, there is nothing.

Lesson: before entering the code, understand that it is a "fee rebate", not a "sign-up bonus", and you won't have the wrong expectations.

Mistake 2: skipped the referral-code field to register faster

Scenario: to finish quickly, I left the referral-code field empty, thinking "I'll add it later".

Cause: I didn't know adding it later is a hassle (only existing users with no activity in the last 180 days can use the recall).

Lesson: registration is only a few steps; don't save those seconds. Enter AMY568 before moving on.

Mistake 3: made the rebate the only reason to choose an exchange

Scenario: I saw a code advertised with a high rebate percentage and picked that exchange without comparing fees, products or withdrawal experience.

Cause: the rebate is "a bonus", not "the core difference". Even with 20% back on fees, if the base fee is different, the final cost may still be lower elsewhere.

Lesson: first choose "the exchange that suits you", then enter the code while you're at it. Reverse the order and you can lose more than you gain. If you haven't decided which exchange to use, see the Binance vs OKX comparison.

Security: fake apps, phishing links and account safety

1. Confirm the official site and app: download and sign in only through OKX's official channels. Any private message, SMS or unknown site asking you to download an "OKX installer" or an "exclusive version" may be phishing.
2. Don't use codes of unknown origin for a "high rebate": codes claiming percentages far outside the norm usually come with hidden clauses or are simply scams. A rebate doesn't put your funds at risk, but account security matters more.
3. The rebate has nothing to do with account security: entering a code or not doesn't change your account's security; what actually protects you are 2FA, the anti-phishing code and the withdrawal whitelist (the registration tutorial has a security-settings section).

FAQ

Q1: Is the OKX referral code mandatory? What if I skip it? It isn't mandatory; you can register without a code. A new user who skips it generally can't add it afterwards, but existing users with no activity in the last 180 days can check their eligibility through the official recall (see above). If you want the fee rebate, enter AMY568 at registration.

Q2: Who receives the rebate? How does it arrive? The invitee (you, the person entering the code) receives a return of part of your own trading fees, usually settled hourly to the account rather than in a single payout. The exact path and scope follow OKX's official rules and what your account shows.

Q3: Is the AMY568 code reliable? It is the code provided by this site; registering through our promotional link fills it in automatically. A normal referral code never asks you to transfer money, provide a password or share a verification code — the real risks usually come from fake registration links, fake support agents and phishing pages.

Q4: What's the difference between a referral code and an invitation link? A referral code is a string such as AMY568; an invitation link usually carries the code automatically. If you register manually, check before submitting that the registration page has already filled in the code, and add it yourself if not.

Q5: Can I use several OKX referral codes? No. An account can normally bind only one referral relationship; an account that already has one generally can't bind again, subject to what the OKX page says.

Q6: Can an existing user bind the referral code later? Some can, but they must meet the recall conditions of OKX's affiliate program: no login, no deposits, no trading and no withdrawals/transfers in the last 180 days; the recall must be triggered through an invitation link, and it replaces the previous referral relationship. Details in the official affiliate program rules.

Q7: If I enter the code, will OKX charge me more in fees? No. The rebate returns part of the fees already charged; entering the code never means paying more.

The summary

The safest approach with the OKX referral code is to enter it at registration; if you skip it, it usually can't be added, and existing users with no activity in the last 180 days can use the official recall. With AMY568 you get a fee rebate (not free crypto: it's "cash back", not a "discount"), and the exact percentage is whatever your account shows in real time. Don't let it decide "which exchange to use" for you.

Data verification note

The key facts in this article were checked on 2026-10-16, one by one:

1. Referral code and recall rules: the OKX referral code binds a referral relationship, and what eligible users receive is a trading-fee rebate rather than a sign-up reward; an "inactive user" is one with no deposits, trades, withdrawals or fund transfers in the last 180 days, and must enter through a referral link for the reactivation to count.

2. Spot and futures fees: for a regular OKX user, spot maker is 0.08% / taker 0.10%, and USDT-margined futures maker is about 0.02% / taker about 0.05%; fees fall as volume or VIP level rises. Source: OKX official fee announcement.
