How do I use a Star Citizen Gift Card?

To SEND a Gift Card to a Friend...

1. Buy a gift card.
2. Wait 24 hours (or 30 days if it's a brand new RSI account that has never made a pledge before).
3. Set up Two-Factor Authentication on the RSI account, if it has not already been activated.
4. Locate the gift card pledge in the hangar inventory.
5. Send the gift card as a gift to your friend.

Be sure to check out the list of gifting restrictions.

To CLAIM a Gift Card for use on the Pledge Store...

1. Log into the RSI website using the account you wish to claim the gift with.
2. Set up Two-Factor Authentication on the RSI account, if it has not already been activated.
3. Locate the gift notification email, then click the link in that email to accept the gift.
4. Go to the My Hangar page on the site.
5. Locate the Gift Card pledge from the hangar inventory.
6. Select the reclaim option on the Gift Card and complete the reclamation process.
7. Check the Account Wallet to see the store credit that was added to the account.

As with the normal reclamation process with any pledge, the gift card cannot be reclaimed if it is less than 24 hours old.  For more information on how to use the store credit, click here.

Gift Cards and Backer Status

As a gift card is considered a gift and it grants store credit upon use, funds gained from reclaiming a gift card will not contribute to an RSI Account's total spent or grant backer status to the recipient.
