On Bybit, use the referral/affiliate-code field in the new-account sign-up form, not a login field, email verification code or UID field. Compare it before the final Sign Up Now step. The registration guide places the code before account creation; opening an invitation link alone is not proof of the saved relationship.
Choose the next step for your account
| Your situation | What the documented route allows | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| No Bybit account yet | Apply the intended code before completing registration. | Use the permitted link/code box, select your actual residence on Bybit and check the code field. |
| Main account within 14 days; no affiliate or referrer registered | A conditional Affiliate Program application; ordinary user referral codes are excluded. | If eligible, open Profile → Account → Account Info → Join an Affiliate’s Community; enter the affiliate code, reason and required acknowledgement. |
| Account older than 14 days | The documented late-add feature does not accept requests after 14 days. | Ask Bybit support to clarify the record; do not expect support to extend this route. |
| An affiliate or referrer is already registered | This route cannot replace an existing relationship; an added code cannot be changed or cancelled. | Confirm the current attribution. A new invitation link or a Trade Cashback UID submission does not move it. |
| Affiliate ID is hidden in Account Info | Partner privacy settings can hide the ID without removing the relationship. | Check the original registration channel and ask support to clarify the attribution; do not assume the account is unlinked. |
The affiliate-code guide limits the application to main accounts with no prior affiliate/referrer, excludes market makers and institutional accounts, and retains regional restrictions. Its narrow route does not override the general sign-up guide. Our country-eligible service page has a separate service check; website language is not residence.
Check the field before finishing web or app registration
- 1Open the permitted registration link and verify the Bybit destination. If the code/link box is not shown here, keep using the informational guide; changing a location or language is not an eligibility check.
- 2On Bybit, state your real country of residence and follow any regional-site redirect. On the new-account form, locate the referral/affiliate-code section and compare the intended value before final submission.
- 3For email, phone or social sign-up, verify the registration path actually shown. If a route has no visible code field, get confirmation from Bybit before completing it rather than assuming attribution will be added later.
- 4If you switch to the app, check the app’s new-account screen again. Signing in to an account you already own does not create a new invitation relationship.
These are checks, not a claim that every app version has the same layout or that a browser invitation always carries into the app. Bybit’s registration instructions describe country selection and the pre-registration code step.
Use the symptom to choose the check
| What you see | Check first | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| No code field on the current screen | New-account form versus login, and browser versus app/social sign-up. | Return to the intended registration route before completing it. If the field still is not available, ask Bybit how to verify the invitation. |
| Code rejected or different from the expected value | Copied characters, spaces and the intended affiliate code; a different field or registration channel. | Do not try random codes. Compare with the permitted code box and stop before creating the account if the mismatch remains. |
| Code was present in the browser but not in the app | The actual code shown after the handoff; do not infer it from the earlier tab. | Use the route that lets you verify the intended code, or ask Bybit to clarify before final registration. |
| Join an Affiliate’s Community is absent | Account age, main-account status, prior attribution, code type and regional exclusions. | The official guide treats a missing entry as unmet criteria. Support can clarify the record; a UID submission does not bypass it. |
Check the account record after registration
- 1Open Profile → Account → Account Info on Bybit’s website.
- 2Check the registered affiliate-code details where available, rather than the code in a fresh sign-up form.
- 3If the ID is hidden, keep the original registration channel or invitation reference and ask Bybit to clarify the relationship. Hide email and private details in any screenshot.
The official check procedure says partner privacy may hide an Affiliate ID. Hidden, missing and different identifiers are not the same result. Never send us a password, login code, identity document or API key.
Exchange attribution and service UID review are separate
- 1Confirm the exchange relationship first. For an existing or unclear account, support clarifies eligibility and attribution; it does not promise to move a linked or late account. Do not open a second account, delete an account or move identity verification to obtain a code benefit.
- 2Create or sign in to your Trade Cashback account, then open link an exchange. Select Bybit, provide your actual residence and submit your own main-account UID.
- 3Follow the service review status. An invitation, exchange registration or UID submission alone is not approved cashback.
What the code does to fees and rewards
An invitation identifies the registration relationship; it is not itself a fee tariff. Check your actual product, pair and VIP rate against Bybit’s published fee schedule and the service calculation method. Cashback uses approved eligible fees, not deposits or trading volume. A welcome reward has separate task, claim and expiry rules; no current total is verified here.
Once approved eligible fees are reported, your available service balance and the payout terms determine whether you can request a payment. Use the existing-account setup for that workflow and Bybit versus Bitget for the same fee/account comparison.
