Star Citizen occasionally offers extra
perks for signing up using a referral code
and then spending $40 in the pledge store.
A Star Citizen Referral Bonus Was Active May 14th-27th, 2026!
Star Citizen occasionally runs bonus referral reward events, granting new players extra loot when they sign up using a referral code and then spend $40 USD or more on the pledge store. These bonuses vary across events, but typically include a hoverbike, small ship, or armor and weapon set, and frequently appear alongside Free Fly events—though sometimes they launch as standalone promotions.
The last bonus referral promotion took place alongside the annual Drake DefenseCon / ILW event, from Thursday, May 14th, through Wednesday, May 27th. Players who created an account using a referral code (STAR-SFVL-W7BT) and pledged $40 USD or more in the RSI store before the end of the event earned an in-game DRAKE DefenseCon t-shirt & hat plus cargo pants!
Note: You must have completed a $40 USD purchase before the end of the DefenseCon event to have received the latest referral bonus (May 27, 2026 20:00 UTC). Referral bonuses are typically granted at the end of the event.
If you properly used a referral code (STAR-SFVL-W7BT) and DID NOT receive a referral bonus at the conclusion of any prior event, contact CIG Customer Support for help!
