Star Citizen referral code and rotator
Star Citizen referral code explained with a community rotator, current bonuses, qualification rules, deadlines and official RSI guidance.
A Star Citizen referral code can be added during account creation or within the following 24 hours. It gives the new account the standard 50,000 UEC bonus. A qualifying purchase may also count towards recruitment progress and any active promotional reward.
Promotion rules can change, so check the official RSI referral information before buying a package.
Star Citizen referral rotator and randomizer
Looking for a Star Citizen referral randomizer? SC‑Links.org uses a community referral rotator that displays one eligible member’s code at a time. When its turn ends, the rotator moves to the next eligible member’s code, giving everyone their place in the rotation.
If you prefer to create your account directly on the RSI website, simply copy STAR-3NLF-KTRQ and paste it into the referral-code field during account creation, or within 24 hours of creating the account.
SC‑Links members can also sign in and add their own Star Citizen referral code to join the same community rotation.

Previous limited-time referral bonus
The Foundation Festival 2026 referral promotion ended on 12 August 2026 at 20:00 UTC. It awarded the recruited account a “Ready for Anything” Career Kit and the referrer an Argo ATLS when the promotion’s qualifying-spend requirements were met. Check the official RSI Referral Program page for any newer limited-time incentive before purchasing.
How the standard referral works
Enter the code during account creation whenever possible. RSI currently allows a 24-hour grace period after creation, but support will not add it after that deadline and the linked code cannot later be changed.
- The new account receives 50,000 UEC when it is associated with a referral code.
- The referrer receives a recruitment point after the linked account spends at least $40.00 USD on the Pledge Store and becomes a backer.
- Purchases made with store credit do not count toward the $40.00 USD requirement.
- Receiving gifted pledges does not satisfy the qualifying-spend requirement.
- The referral code and reward progress can be checked on the official Referral Program page.
Account creation and the 24-hour limit
The direct enlist link places the code into the account form. Check it before submitting the account. When a code is added during the grace period instead, RSI warns that the 50,000 UEC may take longer to appear in the in-game aUEC total. After the account is linked, the referral cannot be swapped for another code.
Game Package and qualifying spend
The 50,000 UEC account bonus and the referrer’s recruitment point are related but separate. The referral code links the accounts; at least $40.00 USD of qualifying Pledge Store spending is required for the recruit to become a backer and count towards recruitment progress. A Star Citizen Game Package is still required to play outside Free Fly, so do not assume a standalone ship includes game access.
Special referral events
RSI sometimes offers a ship, vehicle, paint or equipment reward during a Free Fly or another promotion. These limited-time incentives have their own dates, qualifying purchases, rewards and delivery schedules, so check the official RSI Referral Program page and promotion terms before spending money.
Referral incentive rewards are assigned a value of $0.00 USD and cannot be reclaimed for store credit. Additional restrictions, including gifting limits, one-reward limits and distribution timing, depend on the promotion.
Before completing a purchase
- Confirm the referral appears on the new RSI account.
- Check that the product is a Game Package when the account needs game access.
- Read the current promotion deadline and qualifying items on the official RSI banner or FAQ.
- Do not use store credit or rely on a gifted pledge when the goal is to satisfy the $40.00 USD referral requirement.
Can a referral code be added after the account is created?
Yes, but only within RSI’s current 24-hour grace period. After that, RSI Support will not add the code.
Can the referral code be changed?
No. Once the account is associated with a referral, the code cannot be replaced.
Does receiving a gifted package qualify the referral?
No. The official FAQ says gifted pledges do not satisfy the $40.00 USD qualifying-spend requirement.
Do I need to spend $40.00 USD to receive the 50,000 UEC referral bonus?
No. The 50,000 UEC bonus is awarded for using a referral code when creating your RSI account or within 24 hours of account creation.
The $40.00 USD requirement is separate. For the new account to count as a qualified recruit towards the referrer’s Referral Program progress, it must have a Star Citizen Game Package and at least $40.00 USD in qualifying Pledge Store purchases. Special referral incentive events normally use the same $40.00 USD qualifying threshold, but each promotion sets its own dates, eligible purchases and reward terms.
During a Free Fly, you can play Star Citizen without purchasing a Game Package. Once the Free Fly ends, a Game Package is required to continue playing.
