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.
