How to Claim Binance Fee Discounts

BNB Deduction Is the Simplest Discount Method

Binance offers multiple fee discount channels, and the simplest and most direct method is using BNB to pay trading fees. As long as you hold some BNB in your Binance account and enable "Use BNB to pay fees" in your settings, you'll enjoy a 25% fee discount.

Enabling it is very simple. Log in to the Binance App or web interface, go to your profile or dashboard, find the "Use BNB to pay fees" option, and toggle it on. Once enabled, trading fees are automatically deducted from your BNB balance first, with the discount applied automatically.

Here's a concrete example: suppose you make a 10,000 USDT spot trade with a standard fee of 0.1%, or 10 USDT. With BNB deduction enabled, the fee drops to 0.075%, or 7.5 USDT (deducted as the equivalent in BNB). Each trade saves 2.5 USDT — it may seem small, but it adds up significantly. If your monthly trading volume is 1 million USDT, BNB deduction alone saves you 3,000 USDT per year.

Note that you need to ensure your account always holds enough BNB to cover trading fees. If your BNB balance is insufficient, the system automatically falls back to paying fees with the traded currency at the standard rate, losing the discount. Check your BNB balance regularly and top up when needed.

Referral Rebates and Registration Bonuses

Binance's Referral Program is another important channel for fee discounts. If you haven't registered a Binance account yet, signing up through someone's referral link or code gives you a direct rebate on trading fees. Referral rebates can reach up to 20%, meaning 20% of each trade's fee is returned to your account.

If you already have a Binance account, you can't use a referral code retroactively, but you can become a referrer and invite friends to register. When your referees trade, you earn a percentage of their trading fees as commission. Referrers can earn up to 40% commission (requiring at least 500 BNB in the account), with the default rate at 20% for regular users.

Additionally, Binance periodically distributes fee discount coupons through official social media, emails, or App push notifications. These coupons typically have expiration dates and amount caps, but they're free to claim. Follow Binance's official Twitter, Telegram groups, and the in-app notification center to claim these benefits promptly.

Binance's Rewards Hub also frequently features fee-related events. Completing designated tasks (such as making your first futures trade or reaching a cumulative trading volume target) can earn you fee rebate vouchers or trading bonuses. Check the Rewards Hub regularly — completing a few simple tasks can yield extra discounts.

VIP Tiers and Long-Term Fee Reduction Strategies

For users with higher trading volumes, upgrading your VIP tier is the most effective way to reduce fees. Binance's VIP system ranges from VIP 0 to VIP 9, with higher tiers enjoying lower fee rates. VIP tier is determined by two criteria: 30-day trading volume and average daily BNB holdings — meeting either condition qualifies you for an upgrade.

The VIP 1 threshold requires either 30-day trading volume exceeding 1 million USDT or average daily holdings of 25 BNB. At VIP 1, the spot Maker rate drops from 0.1% to 0.09%, and the futures Maker rate drops from 0.02% to 0.016%. While the reduction may seem modest, the absolute savings for high-volume traders are substantial.

For regular users who can't reach high VIP tiers, combining multiple discount methods maximizes savings. The recommended combo strategy is: BNB deduction (25% off) + referral code registration (up to 20% rebate) + taking advantage of zero-fee promotions + claiming Rewards Hub coupons. Stacking multiple discounts can dramatically reduce your actual fee spending.

There's also an often-overlooked method: joining Binance's Market Maker program. If you have market-making experience and technical capabilities, you can apply to become a Binance market maker and enjoy exclusive ultra-low rates — or even negative Maker fees (where the exchange pays you for providing liquidity). This option has a high barrier to entry and is suited for professional traders.

In short, Binance offers a rich array of fee discount channels — the key is whether you're fully taking advantage of them. Even small-volume traders can significantly reduce their trading costs through BNB deduction and promotional offers.
