Star Citizen discounts and the signup bonus
Create your RSI account with this code, then buy a Game Package to receive 50,000 UEC. Compare starter offers below.
Squadron 42: buying, bundles and existing access
Before looking for a Squadron 42 deal, check whether an older RSI package already includes the campaign. Buying Star Citizen access or a standalone ship does not automatically add Squadron 42.
How to compare a genuine offer
Use official sales announcements and inspect the exact product contents. When an offer is available, compare standalone and bundle totals after tax. A newsletter signup is not a preorder, and a Star Citizen referral code does not reduce the campaign price.

Three ways the offers differ
Package sales: RSI can reduce prices directly in the pledge store. Check the final price, included ship and game access before paying.
Subscriber coupons: these are earned by subscribers and tied to their account. A subscription costs money, so a coupon is not automatically a saving. RSI subscriber coupon terms
Referral codes: these add 50,000 UEC of in-game currency to an eligible new account. They do not change the checkout price. See where to enter the code.
Where the code actually goes on the RSI form
Two screenshots. The full signup page on the left, and a close-up of the field on the right. The Referral Rewards block sits at the bottom, just above the Terms checkbox. Most new players miss it because the layout puts it after the account fields.

Buy a Game Package of $40 USD or more
The 50,000 UEC credits once the purchase clears. Cheapest qualifying option is the Citizen Starter Pack at $45 (promotional, $60 base), which gives you the RSI Aurora Mk II plus 10,000 UEC of its own. The referral bonus stacks on top.
A credit bonus on top of your purchase
Using the code adds the standard 50,000 UEC account benefit. It is extra game currency at the same package price, separate from any starter sale.
| Benefit | How it works |
|---|---|
| During alpha | Non-package account UEC can be added to the patch's base starting aUEC when no previous alpha wallet carries over. A late code entry may delay crediting. |
| For release | UEC is the currency RSI describes for the released game. Alpha gains or losses do not change that account balance. |
| At checkout | The code does not change the price. Compare official starter offers separately. |
See where the bonus appears and how the currencies differ. Account credits and the alpha wallet follow RSI's currency rules.
Two rules new players miss
The 24 hour rule
The Referral Rewards field disappears exactly 24 hours after you create your RSI account. If you forgot to enter the code at signup, sign in to robertsspaceindustries.com, open the account menu, find Referral Rewards, paste STAR-JTV7-FXLR and confirm. After the 24 hours the field is gone and RSI support does not reopen it. RSI referral conditions
The $40 minimum
RSI advertises the 50,000 UEC signup bonus after buying a Game Package. For the referrer to earn a Recruitment Point, the account must own a Game Package and reach $40 USD in eligible fresh-money spending across the pledge store. Store credit and gifted pledges do not count toward that spend.
Which referral code should you use?
Any valid player code gives the same standard bonus. You can use a friend's code or the code above. The signup link was checked on 30 September 2026 to confirm the field is pre-filled; this is not a completed-purchase test.
Verification log
Every entry below is a real check I ran. If you want a freshness signal, this is it.
- 18 May 2026: site launched. The signup screenshots from that date are historical evidence of the form layout. No purchase or credited-balance test is claimed here.
- RSI overhauled the referral program. New-player bonus went from 5,000 UEC up to 50,000 UEC. The recruiter ladder tiers were restructured. Any older guide quoting 5k UEC is stale.
Frequently asked questions
What code can I use?
You can use STAR-JTV7-FXLR when creating a new RSI account, or another player's valid code. Every valid code offers the same standard 50,000 UEC bonus.
Where do I enter the code?
Enter it in Referral Code (optional) on the RSI signup form. The signup link on this page pre-fills the field. Check the value before submitting.
Can I add a code after signup?
Yes, within 24 hours of creating the account. Sign in, open the account menu and find the code entry box. After that grace period you cannot add it through that field. A code already attached to an account cannot be changed.
Is the bonus a discount?
No. It is in-game currency. RSI advertises the 50,000 UEC bonus after buying a Game Package. Your checkout price stays the same.
How does the $40 requirement work?
RSI advertises the 50,000 UEC signup bonus after buying a Game Package. For the referrer to earn a Recruitment Point, the account must own a Game Package and reach $40 USD in eligible fresh-money spending across the pledge store. Store credit and gifted pledges do not count toward that spend.
Can I use the code during a Free Fly?
Yes, add it when creating the account or within the 24 hour grace period. Public Free Fly events grant temporary access. The referral remains attached if you later buy the game. Check each event's eligibility, because some ship trials are restricted to existing backers.
What was checked on 30 September 2026?
The signup link pre-filled the code field, the official referral rules were reviewed and the RSI package store was checked. This does not claim a completed purchase or a verified credited balance.
Ready to claim the 50,000 UEC?
One click pre-fills the code into the RSI signup form. Finish the account, buy a Game Package, the bonus is yours.

Player bonus and recruiter eligibility
The 24 hour deadline is for adding the code to a new account. It is not a deadline for buying the game.
Already played but missed the code?
You can still add one within 24 hours of account creation if no code is attached. Older accounts cannot have it added directly. Testing uses temporary aUEC, so credit availability depends on the current build.
