Every trade you place carries a cost spread, commission, or both. Those costs compound quietly across hundreds of sessions and thousands of positions, and for active traders they represent one of the most persistent drags on net profitability.
AvaTrade's Cashback programme addresses this directly, returning a portion of trading costs back to the client as real, withdrawable cash, earned automatically with every position and scaled by the volume you trade.
Powered by a proprietary points system called DreamPoints, the programme is permanent, requires no separate registration, and covers the full range of instruments available across every AvaTrade platform.
The AvaTrade Cashback programme is a volume-based loyalty reward system that credits all live account holders with DreamPoints on every qualifying trade, regardless of whether that trade results in a profit or a loss.
There are no promotional windows, no limited-time offers, and no sign-up process beyond holding a verified live account the programme runs continuously and automatically as a permanent feature of the AvaTrade platform.
DreamPoints are the points currency at the heart of the programme. They accumulate based on the notional volume of each closed trade the full face value of the position, including leverage multiplied by the applicable rate for the asset class and the trader's VIP tier.
Once a minimum balance of 5,000 DreamPoints is reached, the trader can convert those points to real cash at a fixed rate of 100 DreamPoints per $1 USD, redeemed through the MyAva dashboard and credited directly to the trading account. DreamPoints must be redeemed within 12 months of being earned.
The programme covers all major instruments on AvaTrade including Forex, Indices, Stocks, Commodities, Crypto, FX Options, Bonds, ETFs, and Futures and applies across all platforms and account types including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, WebTrader, the AvaTrade App, and AvaOptions.

DreamPoints earning rates are determined by two factors: the asset class traded and the trader's current VIP tier. Each tier applies a multiplier to the base earning rate, with Silver at 100%, Gold at 150%, Platinum at 200%, and Diamond at 300%.
The Trader tier is the entry level and does not carry a published DreamPoints rate. All cashback figures below are expressed as DreamPoints and USD per $1 million of notional trading volume.

100 DreamPoints = $1 USD cashback. DreamPoints are calculated on notional volume the full face value of the position including leverage. VIP tier determines the multiplier applied to the base rate for each asset class.
To illustrate:a Gold-tier client trading $2 million notional volume in Commodities would earn 3,000 DreamPoints ($30), while the same trade at Diamond tier produces 6,000 DreamPoints ($60). Across a full month of active trading spanning multiple asset classes, the compounding effect of tier multipliers becomes a meaningful contributor to monthly net returns.
All live AvaTrade account types are eligible for the Cashback programme. The right account depends on your trading style, experience level, and which instruments and platforms you prefer to trade on.
| Account Types | Best For | Min. Deposit | Platforms | Instruments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retail Account | Standard CFD trading for all experience levels | $100 | MT4, MT5, WebTrader, App | Forex, Indices, Stocks, Commodities, Crypto, Futures |
| Professional Account | For clients who qualify for professional status | Subject to eligibility assessment | MT4, MT5, WebTrader, App | Full range including leveraged products |
| Islamic Account | Swap-free account for traders requiring Sharia-compliant conditions | $100 | MT4, MT5, WebTrader, App | No overnight swap charges, Full DreamPoints cashback programme eligibility |
| AvaOptions Account | Dedicated vanilla options trading on FX pairs | $100 | AvaOptions (web and mobile) | Vanilla FX options |
For traders who maintain consistent volume across multiple sessions and asset classes, the cumulative weight of spread and commission costs is one of the most controllable variables in overall trading performance.
A cashback programme that operates automatically and returns real funds without conditions is one of the most straightforward ways to improve net results without requiring any change to trading strategy or behaviour.
The DreamPoints system is particularly valuable because it scales with notional volume rather than deposited margin. Traders who use leverage which applies to the majority of CFD positions accumulate points at a rate that reflects their actual market exposure.
A $10,000 margin position at 10x leverage generates DreamPoints on $100,000 of notional value, effectively amplifying cashback returns in proportion to the leverage applied.
At the higher VIP tiers, the impact becomes material. A Diamond-tier trader generating $5 millions of Commodities volume per month earns 30,000 DreamPoints, or $300 in cashback, from that single asset class alone.
Across a diversified multi-asset portfolio, monthly cashback at Diamond level can represent a significant offset against total trading costs an ongoing, passive income layer that compounds with every session.
The AvaTrade Cashback programme is one of the most accessible and transparently structured loyalty reward schemes available from a globally regulated retail CFD broker. With no minimum volume requirement to begin earning, no separate registration, no manual claim process, and no restrictions on redeemed funds, the programme delivers measurable value to traders at every activity level from those placing occasional trades to high-frequency operators running substantial monthly volume.
