How to Use a Star Citizen Referral Code
A referral code isn't a checkout coupon — it goes on your RSI account, not in the store. Here's exactly where the field is, how to add a code if you've already signed up, and how to fix a code that gets rejected. Use mine below and Roberts Space Industries gives you 50,000 UEC of in-game currency for free.
Click the code or Copy to copy
Enter this code at signup and get 50,000 UEC of free in-game currency from Roberts Space Industries — it costs you nothing extra.

This trips up almost everyone, so it's worth being precise. A Star Citizen referral code is tied to your RSI account, and there are only two places it can go:
1. On the signup (Enlist) page — easiest
When you create your RSI account at robertsspaceindustries.com/enlist, the form has a Referral Code field. Paste STAR-JTV7-FXLR there before you submit. Done — the code is locked in and there's no time pressure.
2. In your account settings — within 24 hours of signup
If you already created the account, log in and open Account → Referral Program. There's a Recruited By field — but only while the account is under 24 hours old. Paste the code there and confirm.
It is not entered in the Pledge Store, and it is not a checkout discount code. It does not reduce the price of anything — it adds 50,000 UEC of in-game currency on top.
Step-by-step: the fastest way
Using the one-click link below, claiming the bonus takes well under two minutes.
- Open the RSI enlist page
Click the orange Enlist Now button on this page. It opens
robertsspaceindustries.com/enlistwith the referral code already filled in. (Or go there manually.) - Confirm the Referral Code field shows STAR-JTV7-FXLR
It should already be populated. If the field is empty, paste the code in yourself — exactly as written, with both dashes.
- Fill in your account details and click Enlist Now
Account name, email, password, date of birth. Accept the Terms and create the account.
- Buy a Game Package of $40 or more
The cheapest qualifying packages (Mustang Alpha, Aurora MR) are around $45. The 50,000 UEC lands in your account automatically once the purchase completes.
Already created your account?
- Log in at robertsspaceindustries.com
Use the account you just made — and hurry, the window is 24 hours from account creation.
- Open Account → Referral Program
Click your account icon (top right), then find the Referral Program panel and the Recruited By field.
- Paste STAR-JTV7-FXLR and confirm
The code locks to your account permanently. When you later buy a $40+ Game Package, the 50,000 UEC is granted.
Code not working? Fix it in 30 seconds
If a Star Citizen referral code is rejected, it's almost always one of these five things. Run down the list:
- Your account is older than 24 hours
The referral field disappears exactly 24 hours after account creation, and RSI support cannot re-open it. If the field is gone, the window has closed — there is no workaround. Next time, enter the code during signup.
- A different code was already redeemed
An account can only ever use one referral code. If you (or whoever set the account up) already entered one, a second code won't apply.
- Typo or missing dashes
The format is
STAR-XXXX-XXXX. Re-type it asSTAR-JTV7-FXLR— capital letters, both dashes, no spaces. Copy-pasting with the button above avoids this entirely. - You're entering it in the wrong place
It does not go in the Pledge Store or at checkout. It goes on the Enlist signup form, or in Account → Referral Program for an account under 24 hours old.
- The account already owned the game
Referral codes only apply to brand-new RSI accounts. An existing account that already had a Game Package cannot have a code added retroactively.
Using the one-click Enlist link skips the typo and wrong-place problems automatically — the code is applied for you.
The 24-hour window — don't miss it
⏱ You have exactly 24 hours from account creation
RSI removes the referral field 24 hours after the account is made, and support cannot add a code afterwards. The safest move is to enter STAR-JTV7-FXLR during signup itself — then there's no clock at all. If you already signed up today, add it now under Account → Referral Program before the window closes.
