⏱ IAE FREE FLY ENDS 27 NOVEMBER
↗That button leaves this site. It opens the official Star Citizen signup page at robertsspaceindustries.com in a new tab, with the referral code already in the box normally.
Every ship is free to fly until 27 November. The 50,000 aUEC referral bonus itself has no deadline, so the code is worth using whenever you sign up.
// THE PROCESS
How to Enlist Properly
Three steps, about a minute. Step 02 is the one that decides whether the bonus ever arrives, because the referral box is easy to scroll straight past and it cannot be filled in afterwards.
01
OPEN THE ENLIST PAGE
A referral code unlocks 50,000 aUEC on a brand new account. Signup happens on robertsspaceindustries.com, the official Star Citizen site, so the button below opens there in a new tab. It carries the code with it, so the field arrives already filled in and there is nothing to paste.
REFERRAL CODE PRE-INJECTED // STAR-PTQ3-57MN
02
FIND THE REFERRAL FIELD
The form runs Account Name, Email, Password, then Date of Birth. Below those sits the REFERRAL REWARDS panel, and the box you want is in it, labelled Referral Code (optional). When the link has worked the panel shows who referred you and prints a green Referral code successfully applied underneath, and you change nothing.
EASIEST STEP TO MISSIt sits about two thirds of the way down the form, between Date of Birth and the two checkboxes, which on a phone is well below the first screen. The word optional in the label is why most people scroll straight past it. Check that box reads your code before you press ENLIST NOW, because the code only applies while the account is being created and there is no second chance at it.
03
KNOW WHEN THE aUEC IS RECEIVED
RSI awards the 50,000 aUEC after you buy a game package, not the moment the account is made. The code has to be in the box at signup, but the credits land when you purchase game access via a starter package, so do not worry when your brand new account does not show the bonus. If that field was empty when you submitted, the bonus cannot be added afterwards and the only fix is a new account.
// WHAT THIS IS
The 50,000 aUEC is in game currency for buying ships and gear inside the game, not store credit, and once awarded it is yours to keep. RSI pays it out after your first game package purchase, so the code costs you nothing at signup but only pays once you buy. A package is also what lets you play outside a free fly window.
// IS THIS LEGIT
- It is RSI’s own programme. Cloud Imperium awards the credits, not this site. Their terms are on the official referral page.
- Both sides get something. You get 50,000 aUEC, I get recruitment credit. That is how the programme is designed to work.
- Nothing is asked of you here. No email, no sign up on this page, no payment. The code is free to use and free to ignore.
