Trade Reclaim is a cashback site that pays back part of your trading fees in USDT; its exchange page says "up to 50% back". On the four exchanges both sites list, Fee Otter pays more on all four: WEEX 70% vs 50%, MEXC 60% vs 30%, Bitget 50% vs 30% and Bybit 40% vs 30%. Fee Otter also states how much of each rate the exchange pays back automatically, with a screenshot, while Trade Reclaim gives one figure and doesn't say whether it includes the exchange's own rebate (both websites checked 14 October 2026).
That last point matters. An exchange's automatic rebate goes straight into your exchange account. Anything a cashback site pays itself builds up on that site and has to be withdrawn. Trade Reclaim's exchange page lists a single cashback rate per exchange and says cashback "adds up daily in your dashboard" and is paid "within 48 hours of your request", without splitting out what the exchange pays.

| MEXC | 60% (20% + 40%) | 30% | +30 |
| Bitget | 50% (20% + 30%) | 30% | +20 |

Sources: Fee Otter rebate rates page and Trade Reclaim exchanges page, checked 2026-10-14. Futures rebates; both sites can change their rates at any time, and their live pages take precedence.
ⓘ In Fee Otter's brackets, the first figure is the exchange automatic rebate and the second is Fee Otter's extra rebate. Trade Reclaim also lists LeveX, Bitunix, Phemex and BloFin, which Fee Otter doesn't support; Fee Otter also covers Binance, Gate, KuCoin, XT.COM, Ourbit, HTX, BingX, Pionex and CoinW, which Trade Reclaim's page doesn't list. MEXC's affiliate FAQ says orders placed through the API earn no commission, so this applies on any rebate site.
What else differs
1. How much the exchange pays automatically
Fee Otter lists the automatic rebate for every exchange, with a sign-up page or backend screenshot. On WEEX, 60 of the 70 points are paid back by WEEX straight into your exchange account. Trade Reclaim's page doesn't say whether its 30% or 50% includes the exchange's own automatic rebate. Before you sign up, open the sign-up link and check the rate shown near the referral code: that is what the exchange will pay you automatically.
2. Settlement and withdrawal
Fee Otter's extra rebate is settled daily at 16:00 (UTC+8) and listed trade by trade with the fee, rate and amount. Withdrawals are on-chain USDT over BEP20, minimum 1 USDT, with a 0.015 USDT network fee, and every one can be looked up on BscScan. Trade Reclaim says cashback accrues daily and is paid in USDT to your wallet within 48 hours of a request.
3. Bybit
Fee Otter's Bybit program has no exchange automatic layer: all 40% is paid by Fee Otter, settled daily for you to withdraw. Trade Reclaim's page doesn't say who pays its 30% on Bybit.
Worked example: 500 USDT of futures fees a month
| Exchange | Fee Otter | Trade Reclaim | Difference per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEXC | 500 × 60% = 300 | 500 × 30% = 150 | 1,800 |
| WEEX | 500 × 70% = 350 | 500 × 50% = 250 | 1,200 |
| Bitget | 500 × 50% = 250 | 500 × 30% = 150 | 1,200 |
| Bybit | 500 × 40% = 200 | 500 × 30% = 150 | 600 |
In USDT. On WEEX, 300 of Fee Otter's 350 USDT is paid straight back to your exchange account by WEEX; only 50 USDT is withdrawn from Fee Otter.
Already signed up through Trade Reclaim?
It depends on the exchange. Bybit lets you add a code within 14 days of sign-up if your account has no referrer yet; MEXC within 30 days. Otherwise you need the exchange's rebinding method; see the exchange referral add-later and rebinding rules. Before switching, check whether the yearly difference above is worth reopening an account and setting up your API keys and strategies again.
