Summary
Nasdaq PHLX is changing its rules so that if a member qualifies for two different rebates in the same month, they’ll only get the bigger rebate, not both.

Only the Higher Options Rebate Paid
If you are a Nasdaq PHLX member or member organization that qualifies for both rebate incentives listed in notes "*" and "#" in the same month, the Exchange will pay only the higher of the two rebates for that month. Note "*" currently adds $0.02 per contract for Category A/B and $0.03 per contract for Category C/D in certain circumstances, and note "#" currently adds $0.04 per contract for Category C and $0.02 per contract for Category D in certain circumstances. This rule change was filed April 1, 2025 and became effective upon filing.
