Additional Submitting Broker QCC Credits: achieving 3.5 million QCC contracts per month (QCC Tier 2) plus at least 350,000 manual billable sides yields a $0.01 rebate per billable side, or with at least 700,000 manual billable sides yields a $0.02 rebate per billable side; the Exchange currently has a $3,000,000 per firm, monthly maximum on rebates when combined with Submitting Broker QCC Credits.
