New-player side
- Bonus: 50,000 UEC
- Best moment: use the code during signup
- Main question: what does the new account get?
Bonus question
What is the current Star Citizen referral-code bonus?
The current new-player signup bonus is 50,000 UEC for eligible new accounts that use a valid referral code during account creation. On this site, that code is STAR-FSRJ-5N7Z.
Direct answer
The current signup bonus is 50,000 UEC
This is the recruit-side answer most new players actually want first.
If you are creating a new RSI account and you use a valid referral code during signup, the current new-player bonus is 50,000 UEC for eligible new accounts.
That answer is about the new account itself. Referrer-side ladder rewards and later spend requirements are related to the same system, but they do not change the direct bonus answer a new player needs first.

Use the referral code during account creation to keep the bonus attached from the start.
Keep these separate
New-player bonus vs referrer-side credit
Most confusion disappears once you split these two ideas cleanly.
Referrer side
- Tracked later: this is separate from the recruit bonus
- What matters: Game Package and qualifying spend
- Main question: when does the referrer get credit?
Why confusion happens
Why some pages still show older bonus numbers
A lot of referral confusion comes from old pages that kept ranking after the current official answer changed.
Older community pages, older org profiles, and older videos can keep outdated bonus wording visible in search results even when the current official referral answer is different.
The safest rule is simple: start with the current official referral wording, then keep the signup guidance aligned with that answer instead of trusting legacy numbers just because they still appear elsewhere.
