Choosing an account should start with trading conditions and suitability, not cashback alone. However, account type matters to a rebate program because different XS.com account categories can produce different cashback values for the same instrument.
Account types used in our cashback examples
XScashbacks.com currently shows Gold cashback examples for Standard, Extra, Elite, Classic and Pro accounts. XS.com may offer additional account categories or change product details over time, so always review the broker’s current account information before opening an account.
Standard account and cashback
For the Gold example on our website, the Standard account shows a base rate of $4.25 and an XScashbacks.com cashback figure of $6.38 per standard lot. This should not be used as the only reason to select the Standard account.
Extra account and cashback
In the same Gold example, Extra shows a base rate of $7.00 and an XScashbacks.com figure of $10.50 per standard lot. Traders should still compare all trading conditions that matter to their strategy.
Elite, Classic and Pro
Our Gold examples show Elite at $1.88 cashback from a $1.25 base rate, Classic at $9.00 from a $6.00 base rate, and Pro at $2.25 from a $1.50 base rate. These are cashback examples, not a ranking of the account types.
How to choose an account for cashback purposes
Think about the instruments you trade, your usual trading style, expected volume and the actual account conditions. Then ask support which cashback rate can apply to your intended account. A larger rebate number can be less important than overall trading suitability.
