Loyalty Program
With XM Loyalty Program, you can earn XM Points that can be redeemed for bonuses every time you trade.
As a token of appreciation to XM’s long-time customers, XM will upgrade your loyalty status based on the number of days you have traded with XM. The higher your loyalty status, the more XM Points you can earn per trade per lot.
What is Loyalty Program?
The Loyalty Program is a bonus system that gives you points based on the number of trades you make. The points awarded through the Loyalty Program are called XM Points, and the accumulated XM Points can be exchanged for trading bonuses or cash.
Loyalty Status is Upgraded in Four Levels
The number of XM Points you earn is determined by your loyalty status. Your loyalty status will be upgraded in four levels: Executive, Gold, Diamond, and Elite, based on the number of days you trade. The more days you trade, the more your status will be automatically upgraded and the more XM Points you will earn per lot.
All customers with XM accounts usually start at the Executive level, but as a benefit of this site, you can start at Gold status right after opening your account.
With the Loyalty Program, the more you trade with XM, the faster you will earn the XM Points.
The Amount of XM Points You Can Earn Depends on Your Account Type and Eligible Products
XM Points can only be earned when trading with Standard and Micro Accounts. You cannot earn the XM Points when trading with Zero Accounts.The XM Points can be earned based on the volume of transactions, and the criteria for earning points vary depending on the stock traded. For Forex currency pairs, you can earn 13 XM Points per lot traded for any currency pair, if you have the initial status of Gold.

How to Check XM Points
The XM Points earned through XM Loyalty Program can be viewed on the Members Area.
How to Convert XM Points to Bonus or Cash
Once you have earned XM Points, you can view them on your Members Area and redeem them for trading bonuses or cash at any time. If it is an Executive or Gold member, you cannot redeem them for cash. The conversion ratio for trading bonus is “XM Points divided by $3 equals Bonus”, and the conversion ratio for cash is “XM Points divided by $40 equals Cash”.
If you convert your XM Points to bonuses, you can use them for trading just like your deposited funds, but you will not be able to withdraw the bonus.
Examples of Bonuses You Can Earn
The first status, Gold, awards 13 XM Points per lot, so if you trade a total of 30 lots, you will earn 390 XM Points, which is 13 XM Points times 30 lots.
390 XM Points can be converted into a bonus at the rate of “bonus equals XMP divided by $3”, so 390 divided by 3 equals a bonus of $130.
Cases in Which Loyalty Status is Demoted
XM Points have an expiration date. If no transactions are made for a specified period, your XM Points will be reset to zero and your loyalty status will be reset to the initial status of Executive. The period will vary depending on your loyalty status.
| Loyalty Status | Time to Reset |
|---|---|
| Gold | 30 Days |
| Diamond | 60 Days |
| Elite | 90 Days |
Notes on Loyalty Program
No XM points will be awarded for trades that are closed within 10 minutes of placing a new order.
No XM Points will be awarded for Zero Accounts.
The amount of XM Points you can earn with a Micro Account is 1/100th of that of a Standard Account.
For Executives,
Standard Account: 10 XM Points
Micro Account: 0.1 XM Points
Common Bonus Structure
Trading Bonus, Deposit Bonus, and Loyalty Program all have a common structure and caveats.
Bonus Cannot Be Withdrawn, Profits Can Be Withdrawn
The bonus itself is not withdrawable, but can be used to fund trades within XM in the same way as the deposited amount. You can withdraw any profits you make from your trades.
Different Account Types Have Different Bonuses Available
XM offers three account types: Standard, Micro, and Zero Account. If you choose the Zero Account, you will not be eligible for Deposit Bonus and Loyalty Program, but you will still receive Trading Bonus.
Bonus Extinction
XM Trading Bonus and Deposit Bonus will expire when funds are withdrawn from your account, based on the ratio of the amount withdrawn to the account balance. Loyalty Program will not expire when funds are withdrawn if they are held as XM Points before being converted to bonuses. If you have converted them to bonuses, they will be lost when you withdraw your funds. Examples of bonus amounts that will expire are as follows.
| Balance (Withdrawal Amount) | Credit (Bonus) | Withdrawal Amount | Bonus to Disappear |
|---|---|---|---|
| $ 380 | $ 380 | $ 160 | $ 160 |
| $ 780 | $ 460 | $ 380 | $ 230 |
Example of a balance of $ 380
| Credit (Bonus) | Withdrawal Amount | Bonus to Disappear |
|---|---|---|
| $ 380 | $ 160 | $ 160 |
Example of a balance of $ 780
| Credit (Bonus) | Withdrawal Amount | Bonus to Disappear |
|---|---|---|
| $ 460 | $ 380 | $ 230 |
If you withdraw $200 from an account with a balance of $500 and a bonus of $500, total Available Margin of $1,000, you will have withdrawn an amount equal to 40% of the available withdrawal amount, and the 40% bonus for $200 will be lost.
When you transfer funds between accounts, the bonus will also be transferred according to the percentage of the amount transferred. However, the bonus cannot be transferred to a Zero Account, and will be lost if it is transferred to it. You can still receive Trading Bonus even if you have a Zero Account.
