How to Get a Free OKX VIP Pass and Cut Your Trading Fees
Takers pay 0.10% on OKX spot. A free VIP Pass from Rewardoc drops you to VIP fee rates for 7 days — here's how to claim one, and how it's different from a referral code.
There are two ways to pay less in fees on OKX: punch in a referral code when you sign up, or get a VIP Pass once you already have an account.
They sound like the same thing, but they're not. A referral code is a discount code you enter on the signup screen; a VIP Pass is a 7-day VIP tier that an existing VIP member sends you. (Rewardoc hands these out for free.)
This guide covers OKX's standard fees, how much a referral code actually knocks off, and how to get a VIP Pass.

1. OKX Standard Fees
On a regular, non-VIP account, spot is 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker. Futures are 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker. A limit order that sits on the book and fills later pays the maker rate; anything that fills instantly, like a market order, pays taker.
Two things bring that base rate down: a referral code, which only works at signup, and your VIP tier.
2. A Referral Code Only Works at Signup
The referral code goes in the [Referral code (optional)] field on the signup screen. Depending on which invite code you use, it knocks 20% to 40% off your spot and futures fees.
Sign up with a 40% code and your spot taker fee drops from 0.10% to 0.06%. Trade $50,000 a month as a taker and your fees for the year go from $600 to $360.
Rewardoc re-checks the working OKX referral codes every week, and they're all on the [OKX referral code page]: two 40% codes, one that locks 20% in for life, and a standard 20% code.
You can't add a referral code to an account that's already registered. If you signed up without one, that's where the VIP Pass comes in. (And yes, I'll show you how to get one for free.)
3. A VIP Pass Is 7 Days of VIP Fees
The bar for OKX VIP tiers is high. Even VIP 1 requires $100,000 in assets, or $5 million in futures volume over 30 days.
A VIP Pass skips all of that — it's a trial ticket that unlocks VIP benefits for 7 days. VIP members get 2 of them every month, and they can pass them on to other people.
For those 7 days your trading fees drop to VIP rates, and most of the other VIP perks come with it too, like 4% cashback on the OKX Card. (Whether you can get the card depends on your region.) One thing the pass leaves out: if someone sent you a pass, you can't send one on to anyone else. (Official OKX page)
To get a pass, your account has to check every box below.
- KYC verification completed
- Not currently on a VIP tier
- No VIP Pass claimed in the last 90 days
- A personal account, not a corporate one
You can only activate it in the OKX app — desktop web won't work.
4. Getting an OKX VIP Pass for Free
1. Request the pass
Ask for an OKX VIP Pass in [Rewardoc's Telegram]. Heads up: we can only send passes to members who signed up for OKX with a Rewardoc referral code. We'll send you a VIP Pass link or a QR code.
2. Open the link
Open the link on your phone, or scan the QR code. Either one drops you straight onto the VIP Pass activation screen in the OKX app. You can also just open the app and look for the VIP Pass notification.
3. Activate
Tap [Activate] and your 7 days of VIP benefits start right then.
Hit the real VIP requirements inside those 7 days and you keep the tier for another 30 days after the trial ends. Miss them and your account quietly drops back to its old tier — nothing to cancel.
When the VIP Pass Won't Activate
- Account isn't KYC verified: finish KYC, then open the link again.
- Account is already on a VIP tier: VIP members can't receive a VIP Pass.
- A pass was claimed in the last 90 days: you have to wait 90 days from the day the last one was claimed.
- Link opened in a desktop browser: open it on a phone that has the OKX app installed.
The Short Version
A referral code goes in once, on the signup screen, and there's no way to add it later. A VIP Pass is a 7-day VIP tier that any registered, KYC-verified account can claim once every 90 days.
You get them at different points, and they cut your fees in different ways.
