Promotion Details

Duration: March 16 – March 22, 2026

How It Works

Step 1: Make a transaction — Purchase any crypto via Instant Buy, or make a fiat/card deposit during the promotion period.

Step 2: Receive your fee rebate — Once your transaction is complete, your fee rebate is calculated automatically. You'll receive a notification when it's ready to claim in the Reward Center. The amount of BTC you receive is determined by the prevailing market exchange rate at the time of your transaction. Once claimed, the rebate is credited to your CEX.IO account in Bitcoin.

Note: First-time buyers and depositors receive a 20% fee rebate on their very first qualifying transaction. All subsequent qualifying transactions, including any further ones during the promotion period, receive the 7% rate.

Step 3: Keep earning — After your first transaction, continue purchasing crypto via Instant Buy or depositing fiat throughout the promotion to keep receiving the 7% fee rebate in BTC. There's no cap on the total rebate you can receive

FAQ

Q: What qualifies as a "first-time buyer" or "first-time depositor"?

A: You're considered a first-time buyer if you've never made an Instant Buy purchase on CEX.IO before, or a first-time depositor if you've never made a fiat deposit before. It doesn't matter when you registered your account — only whether you've completed these specific actions previously.

Q: I'm a first-time buyer. Do I get the 20% rate on all my transactions during the promotion?

A: No — the 20% fee rebate applies to your very first qualifying transaction only. Any additional qualifying transactions you make during the promotion period will receive the 7% rate.

Q: How do I claim my fee rebate?

A: After each qualifying transaction, you'll receive a notification that your BTC rebate is available. Go to the Reward Center and claim it.

Q: When will I receive my rebate?

A: Your rebate is calculated immediately after your transaction completes. You'll receive a notification as soon as it's available to claim in the Reward Center.

Q: What fees does the rebate apply to?

A: The rebate applies to fees charged on Instant Buy purchases and fiat/card deposits. The applicable percentage (20% or 7%) of those fees is returned to you in Bitcoin.

Q: Does crypto purchased via CEX.IO Spot Trading qualify?

A: No. This promotion applies only to Instant Buy purchases and fiat/card deposits. Regular trading on spot is not eligible.

Q: Can I use or transfer my rebate immediately after claiming?

A: Yes. Once you claim your BTC rebate from the Reward Center, it's added to your Bitcoin balance and can be used, traded, or withdrawn right away.

Q: What happens if my deposit is declined or charged back?
