What it is
What is the Star Citizen Referral Bonus?
Cloud Imperium Games — the studio building Star Citizen — rewards new players who join through an existing player's invitation with a one-time gift of 50,000 UEC (United Earth Credits), the persistent in-game currency.
The code costs you nothing. You don't need to buy a ship, pledge anything, or pay any fee. Just use STAR-GCQJ-N6NC during signup and the UEC lands in your account once your email is verified.

Weapons
Sidearms, rifles, ship-mounted hardpoints
Armor & Paints
Full armor sets, ship liveries, helmets
Consumables
Medpens, ammo, food, drinks, FPS gear
Bonus availability
Is the Bonus Always Active?
Yes. The 50,000 UEC baseline reward has been part of the referral program since launch and is always available.
CIG occasionally runs special “referral bonus events” that stack additional rewards on top — ship paints, FPS weapons, or extra UEC. Those events are time-limited; the baseline bonus is not.
Free Fly events let you try Star Citizen for free — check current event dates before you create your account.
Code persistence
Will the Code Expire?
Referral codes belong to a player's account permanently. As long as the referrer's account is in good standing, the code keeps working — there's no expiration date.

Common questions
Quick Answers
It's a one-time gift of 50,000 UEC (United Earth Credits) given to every new account that signs up using a referral code. UEC is the in-game currency for Star Citizen and Squadron 42 — you can spend it on ship components, weapons, armor, paints, and consumables.
Yes. Using code STAR-GCQJ-N6NC costs nothing. You receive the full 50,000 UEC bonus at no cost. No payment is required to create an account or claim the bonus.
UEC stands for United Earth Credits — the persistent in-game currency for Star Citizen. UEC is different from aUEC (alpha UEC), which is wiped between major patches. The 50,000 you receive is real, persistent UEC that stays on your account.
The easiest way is to click any of the bonus links on this page — the code is auto-filled. If you create an account directly on the RSI site, paste STAR-GCQJ-N6NC into the “Enlist Code” field at signup.
Yes — but only within 24 hours of creating your account. After that window closes, the referral slot locks and the bonus can no longer be claimed for that account. Add it during signup to be safe.
The 50,000 UEC bonus has been a baseline reward of the referral program for years and is always active. CIG occasionally runs limited “referral bonus events” that add ships, paints, or extra UEC on top — those are time-limited, but the baseline bonus is not.
No. The referral program is for new accounts only. If you already have an RSI account, you cannot apply a referral code retroactively. You can, however, share your own referral code with new players once your account is active.
Ship components (power plants, shields, coolers), weapons and ammo, armor sets, paint schemes, FPS gear, and consumables. 50,000 UEC is enough to fully outfit a starter ship or kit out an FPS loadout. Spend it through the in-game mobiGlas or the RSI website.
