Best Money Methods During a GTA Online Bonus Week

Updated June 2026 · GTABonuses.com editorial

Not all bonus weeks are equal, and not all bonuses are worth your time. This guide ranks the most common GTA Online money-making methods by efficiency — so you can make the most of whatever is active this week.

Key principle

A 4× multiplier on a slow activity can pay less per hour than a 2× multiplier on a fast one. Always consider time-to-complete, not just the multiplier shown.

S Tier

Cayo Perico Heist (Finale)

✓ SoloNeeds: Kosatka submarine

Highest solo payout in the game. At 2× it pays over $2M per run. Preps take ~30 min, finale ~15 min.

S Tier

Acid Lab Sell Missions

✓ SoloNeeds: Acid Lab (Freakshop)

Most consistent solo earner. Each sell mission takes 10–15 min. At 2× you earn ~$500–700k per mission.

A Tier

Contact Missions (Lamar, Gerald)

✓ SoloNeeds: Nothing

Completely free to access. Fast missions averaging 10–12 minutes. At 3× these are the best free activity any week.

A Tier

Pacific Standard Heist

👥 Crew neededNeeds: Crew of 4

Best team heist payout. Finale pays $1.25M base; at 2× that's $2.5M split 4 ways — ~$625k each in 20–25 minutes.

A Tier

MC Business Sell Missions

✓ SoloNeeds: MC business (Cocaine, Meth, etc.)

Passive accumulation + active sells. Cocaine lockup at 2× pays well for the time investment.

B Tier

Nightclub Sell Missions

✓ SoloNeeds: Nightclub + source businesses

Good for players who already have the setup. Best when combined with Acid Lab production.

B Tier

Adversary Modes

👥 Crew neededNeeds: Other players

Short rounds but depends on lobby quality. At 3× they can rival mission rates but are less reliable.

C Tier

Races

👥 Crew neededNeeds: Wins to earn prize ride

Low base payout even at 2×. Only worth grinding if the prize ride target is a vehicle you want.
