Last updated July 9, 2026. This page is refreshed every Thursday when the new event week goes live.
The July 9-13 GTA Online event week is a short one ahead of The Kortz Center Heist DLC on July 14. Bunker sell and research missions pay 2X, Stunt Races pay 3X, the Lago Zancudo Bunker is free, and the Fine Art Collector Program hands out up to GTA$1.5 million for logging in and finishing any heist. The podium car is the Ocelot Jugular.

Best money this week
Top earner for July 9-13, 2026
Bunker sell missions at 2X
The free Lago Zancudo Bunker plus 40% off every other bunker and all upgrades means even new players can set up for near nothing, and a full upgraded bunker stock sells for around GTA$2.1 million at this week's double rate before high-demand bonuses. Stack the GTA$500,000 login bonus and the GTA$1,000,000 any-heist bonus from the Fine Art Collector Program on top.
Compare it against the fastest money methods in GTA Online - a weekly 2X event often beats the usual best method, but not always. If you play alone, see the best solo money methods.

How GTA Online weekly updates work
Rockstar rotates GTA Online's bonuses every Thursday at about 10:00 UTC, announced through a post on the Rockstar Newswire. Each event week swaps in a new set of double or triple money activities, store discounts, a podium vehicle at the Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel, an LS Car Meet prize ride, Gun Van stock, and often free properties or login gifts. Occasionally Rockstar runs a longer holiday event or a short transition week before a DLC drops, but the Thursday cadence has held for years.
This page always lives at the same URL and is rewritten from the official Newswire post each week, so you can bookmark it instead of hunting for a new article every Thursday. The weekly bonuses matter because they regularly flip the math on what earns best: a 2X week can push a mid-tier business past the usual top earners. Our make-money guides cover the baseline payouts, and if you are here for exploits instead, the working glitches tracker is dated and status-checked the same way.
