Invite Code vs Referral Code vs Referral ID: What's the Difference?
Invite code, referral code, referral ID — three names, one thing. Here's what each term means and how to use K6O8CPLG whatever it's called.
If you have searched for ways to save on Binance you have probably seen three different terms: invite code, referral code, and referral ID. It is natural to wonder whether they unlock different rewards. The short answer: they are all the same thing.
Why three names for one code?
Binance and its community use the terms interchangeably. 'Referral ID' is the exact label used on the sign-up form. 'Referral code' is the most common phrase online. 'Invite code' is popular because you are being invited to join. All three refer to the same alphanumeric string that links your account for a fee discount.
- Invite code — the friendly, common name for the code you enter to join.
- Referral code — the technical marketing term used across crypto sites.
- Referral ID — the exact field label on Binance's registration page.
Whatever it is called, the code you want is K6O8CPLG for a 20% fee discount.
So which one do I use?
You only ever enter one code. Type K6O8CPLG into the 'Referral ID (optional)' field during registration, or click a referral link to have it filled in automatically. There is no separate step for an 'invite code' versus a 'referral code' — it is a single field.
