What is the Star Citizen referral code?

Use referral code STAR-SNP2-VKS9 when creating your RSI account to receive the 50,000 UEC new-account bonus.

Can I add a referral code after creating an RSI account?

RSI allows a 24-hour grace period after account creation. After that, the referral code cannot be changed or added.

How The Referral Link Works

Open the prefilled signup link

Use the CTA on this page. It sends you to RSI with STAR-SNP2-VKS9 already attached.

Confirm the referral field

If the code is not visible for any reason, copy STAR-SNP2-VKS9 manually before finishing signup.

Play before you buy

Free Fly events are the best time to test performance, controls, starter ships, and the live universe before spending money.

Referral credit for the recruiter requires the new player to make a qualifying RSI pledge. Do not spend money only for a referral; buy only if you actually want to play.

Start in the verse

Ships, stations, and a cleaner first step

The direct link handles the referral step first. Then you can focus on testing the game: ship handling, performance, missions, and whether Star Citizen is worth your first pledge.

Try the universe before buying

Free Fly and event windows are the best time to test ships, stations, and performance.

Keep the bonus simple

The direct referral link preloads the code. Manual entry is only the backup path.
