This week’s GTA Online bonuses for July 17 to July 23, 2025, might seem exciting at first—with 2X GTA$ and RP on multiple activities—but many players are calling it one of the weaker weeks for making real money in Los Santos.
Let’s break down what’s on offer, why players are underwhelmed, and what you should do instead.
What’s Getting Double Rewards?
1. Mr. Faber Work (4X for GTA+ Members)
These new car wash-style missions offer 2X payouts for regular players and 4X for GTA+ subscribers. However, the base payout is so low that even with the bonus, it’s not worth your time if you're trying to earn serious cash.
2. Time Trials
Time trials this week give 2X GTA$ and RP. The problem? You can only complete each time trial once. The reward is nice, but there’s no grind potential.
3. G’s Cache
These small loot pickups around the map now pay double. Again, payouts are minimal and you can’t repeat them enough to make meaningful profits.
4. Stockpile (Adversary Mode)
This PvP flying mode has returned with double rewards. While it can be fun in teams, it’s not the most effective way to farm money, especially for solo players.
Why Players Are Disappointed
Bonus Activity Boost Worth Doing for Cash?
Mr. Faber Work 2X (4X GTA+) Low payout, not worth the effort
Time Trials 2X One-time bonus only
G’s Cache 2X Minimal payout
Stockpile Mode 2X Not efficient for solo players
Low Earning Potential:
None of the featured activities come close to the money you can make with Heists, Cayo Perico, or selling from Nightclubs and Biker businesses.
Limited Payout Opportunities:
Most of the missions or events this week are either one-time only or offer very small payouts that can’t be repeated effectively.
Missed Opportunities:
Players were hoping for boosts to CEO work, Nightclubs, Biker sales, or Heists—the most reliable sources of GTA$.
What Should You Do Instead?
If you enjoy these featured modes and want a bit of quick RP and bonus money, go ahead and give them a try. But if your goal is to make serious GTA$, this week isn’t going to cut it.
Stick to what works:
- Cayo Perico Heist
- Nightclub passive income
- Bunker and Biker sales
- CEO Import/Export work
Tip:
Check Rockstar’s Newswire or the in-game Events page each week for updates. Sometimes, waiting for better bonuses is the smartest way to build your bank.
Even with double GTA$ and RP, this week’s GTA Online event bonuses fall short for players looking to grind cash. Most activities offer low payouts and can’t be repeated for major profit. Hopefully, next week will bring better opportunities for those looking to thrive in Los Santos. When weekly events fall flat, buying GTA 5 modded accounts becomes a quick fix to enjoy the game.
Stay tuned and keep checking for updates—your next big payday might just be around the corner.
