How It Works

Three Steps. Five Minutes. 50,000 UEC.

The referral bonus is automatic — no support tickets, no waiting periods. Apply the code at signup and the credits land after your first qualifying purchase.

1

Create Your RSI Account

Visit Roberts Space Industries and start a brand-new account. The referral system only applies to fresh accounts — existing accounts cannot retroactively claim a code.

2

Enter Code STAR-GCQJ-N6NC

During signup, paste the referral code into the "Referral Code" field. RSI also allows the code to be added retroactively within 24 hours of account creation, but applying it during signup ensures the bonus is credited immediately.

3

Receive 50,000 UEC Automatically

Per the official RSI program, anyone registering with a referral code automatically receives 50,000 UEC — no purchase required. Spend it on components, weapons, armor, or save it as a trade float.

What 50,000 UEC Actually Gets You

UEC is the in-game currency for components, weapons, gear, and consumables. 50,000 UEC is enough to outfit a starter ship and a full personal loadout.

Ship Components

Quantum drives, shields, power plants — upgrade a starter loadout and gain real edge in combat or mining.

Personal Weapons

Mid-tier rifles, pistols, and sidearms. Replace defaults with optics-ready gear for FPS and bunker missions.

Armor Sets

Full medium armor sets with helmet, chest, undersuit. Survive depressurization and small-arms fire.

Consumables & Ammo

Stock medpens, oxygen pens, and ammo crates so a single mission failure does not wipe your inventory.

Vehicle Rentals

Try ground vehicles or fighters via in-game rental terminals before committing pledge money to a hull.

Cargo Trade Float

50,000 UEC seeds your first trade run — flip commodities for profit instead of grinding bunkers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about how the Star Citizen referral program works in 2026.

What is a Star Citizen referral code?
A referral code is a unique identifier RSI assigns to each existing backer. New players who enter a referral code at signup (or within 24 hours after) automatically receive a 50,000 UEC bonus, and the recruiter earns progress toward referral rewards once the new player pledges.
How do I use STAR-GCQJ-N6NC?
Create a new RSI account and paste STAR-GCQJ-N6NC into the "Referral Code" field on the signup page. RSI also allows the code to be added retroactively within 24 hours of account creation, but applying it during signup ensures the 50,000 UEC bonus is credited immediately.
Do I need to buy a game package to get the 50,000 UEC bonus?
No. Per the official RSI referral program, anyone registering with a referral code automatically receives 50,000 UEC — no purchase required. (A purchase is only needed if you want to actually play outside of free-fly events. Separately, the recruiter only earns a Recruitment Point on their ladder when their recruit pledges at least $40 USD.)
Does the 50,000 UEC expire?
No. Once credited to your account, UEC does not expire. The only time-limit on the program is the 24-hour window in which you can attach a referral code to a brand-new account.
Can I use a referral code on an existing account?
Only within 24 hours of account creation. After that, RSI does not allow a referral code to be added retroactively, and an account cannot have its referrer changed once one has been associated.
What can I buy with 50,000 UEC?
In-game UEC buys ship components, weapons, armor sets, consumables, and ammo at in-game shops and kiosks. 50,000 UEC covers a starter ship loadout upgrade or a full set of mid-tier armor and a sidearm.
Why does the recruiter benefit from my referral?
When you pledge at least $40 USD on the Pledge Store, RSI grants the recruiter a Recruitment Point that progresses them up the rewards ladder (cosmetics, vehicles, and at the very top, capital-class ships). Your 50,000 UEC bonus is unaffected — the recruiter reward is a separate track.
Where can I verify this is a legitimate RSI program?
The official referral program is documented at robertsspaceindustries.com/en/referral-program and in the RSI Knowledge Base "Referral Program FAQ". The Star Citizen Wiki (starcitizen.tools/Referral_program) also tracks program changes. Always confirm bonus amounts and active events directly on RSI before any purchase decision.
