First 30 Days With Fomo Code DEAL (2026): A Day-by-Day Checklist From Sign-Up to First Cashback

Signed up for Fomo with code DEAL, or about to? This checklist walks through the first month, from the invite link to your first cashback payout, so you can see that the full 10% Off + Fee Cashback is working.

Fomo gives this 10% to every referral code. What DEAL adds is a separate 12.5% fee cashback, paid by the code owner in USDC.

Fomo itself pays no cashback. Fomo's part is the 10% fee discount. The cashback is paid by the DEAL code owner: 12.5% of the Fomo fees you pay, sent back to you in USDC.

Facts checked on Fomo's help center on 20 October 2026.

One thing to know first

DEAL is not a bigger discount than any other code. Fomo gives every referral code the same 10% off, which means 0.45% per trade instead of 0.50%. The cashback is a separate USDC payment from the DEAL code owner's referral share.

The 30-day checklist

Day 1 in more detail

The invite comes first. A referral code can only be added when the account is created. Fomo has no field to add one later, and a recorded referrer can't be changed. So the order is: open the invite, then sign up.

Funding. Card, Apple Pay and Pay with Coinbase depend on your country and your account. USDC on one of the five listed networks, or USDG on Robinhood Chain, is the other way in. Fomo then trades on seven networks from that one balance.

The first trade check

Pick a regular token, not one of the select major tokens with their own 0.05% fee. On Solana, use a trade of 250 USDC or more, because smaller Solana trades can show a minimum fee instead of the rate. On Base, BNB Chain, Monad, Ethereum, Robinhood Chain and Arc, the Fomo fee is a rate, and the network fee shows on a second line.

If the Fomo fee shows 0.50%, no code was recorded. Fomo's help center says to go to Profile > Settings > Help and Support > Contact Support and ask to be attached to the code you signed up through. Do it right away, while the sign-up is fresh. More detail: the first-trade check.

A sample fee log

Keep a simple note with one line per trade. Here is an example month with mixed trading. The numbers are only an illustration.

Cashback for these trades: 8.51 × 0.125 = 1.06375, so about 1.06 USDC. The network fees, Hyperliquid's fee and funding are real costs, but they aren't Fomo's fee, so they stay out of the cashback.

If you trade perps in the first month

• Fomo charges 0.05% when you open and again when you close. Hyperliquid's fee also applies, on the full leveraged position, and funding is charged hourly.
• Moving money into the perps balance needs at least 5 USDC; moving it out needs at least 2 USDC. The smallest position is 15 USDC.
• Perps are not available to U.S. Persons.
• DEAL's cashback counts Fomo's perps fee. Fomo doesn't say whether the 10% discount applies to perps.

Who pays the DEAL cashback?

Not Fomo. The DEAL code owner pays it, using half of the 25% referral share that Fomo pays on your fees. You get it in USDC inside the app: once a month, or every week at the weekend once your unpaid balance has reached 50 USDC. The first monthly payout is set for the first week of November 2026. Before that, the code owner already sent payouts to DEAL users: seven of $50.00 on 20 September 2026, then seven more of $50.00 on 17 October 2026.
