If you haven't logged into Los Santos lately, you're missing out on one of the weirdest but most lucrative transitions we’ve seen in years. Rockstar is currently running a massive event that runs through January 14, 2026, and it’s basically a "get rich or die trying" starter pack for anyone who hasn't quite hit that multi-millionaire status yet.
Honestly, the headline act isn't even a supercar this time. It’s a property.
Claiming Your Free Hands On Car Wash
Usually, property giveaways are rare, but right now you can grab the Hands On Car Wash for absolutely zero dollars via Maze Bank Foreclosures. This is part of the new "Legal Money Fronts" system. Basically, it allows you to run a legitimate business alongside your more... questionable activities.
Is a car wash glamorous? No. Is it profitable? Well, this week it is.

Rockstar is currently offering 3X GTA$ and RP on the legal side of the Car Wash business. If you finish three of these "Legal Jobs," you’ll bag an extra $100,000 as part of the Weekly Challenge. It’s quick work, and since the property is free, it’s literally pure profit.
GTA 5 Bonus This Week: The Money Makers
If cleaning windshields isn't your vibe, there are much bigger fish to fry. We’re looking at some serious multipliers on veteran businesses that haven't seen this much love in months.
- Counterfeit Cash Sales: 2X GTA$ and RP. If you’ve been letting your Biker business gather dust, now is the time to restock. A fully upgraded factory is pumping out nearly **$1 million** per full sale right now.
- HSW Race Series: 4X GTA$ and RP. This is massive. If you’re on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, these races are the fastest way to grind rank and cash simultaneously.
- Operation Paper Trail: 2X GTA$ and RP (and a massive 4X for GTA+ members). Working with Agent ULP to solve the gas price conspiracy is actually worth the headache this week.
- Community Combat Series: 2X GTA$ and RP. Good for a break from the grind if you just want to shoot something.
The Vehicle Situation
The Casino Podium is currently hosting the Übermacht Rebla GTS. It's a solid SUV, usually retailing for over $1.1 million, so it’s worth a spin. Over at the LS Car Meet, the Prize Ride is the Maxwell Vagrant. To get it, you need to place in the Top 2 in the LS Car Meet Series for four days in a row. It’s a bit of a slog, but the Vagrant is an off-road beast.

Deep Discounts to Watch
Don't spend your hard-earned cash on everything. Stick to what’s on sale. 40% off the Counterfeit Cash Factory (and its upgrades) is the smart play here, as it directly ties into the weekly bonus.
On the vehicle side, there’s a 30% discount on a weirdly specific list:
- Grotti LSCM Cheetah Classic (A total vibe for cruising)
- Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper (Still the most essential vehicle for CEOs)
- HVY Chernobog
- Western Reever
- Vapid Clique Wagon
The Gun Van is also worth a visit. He’s got the Military Rifle at 50% off and the Stun Gun at 30% off for GTA+ members. If you haven't picked up the Stun Gun yet, do it now; it's a lifesaver for specific missions where you need to take someone down without a body count.

The GTA+ Factor
If you're a subscriber, this month is actually pretty stacked. You get early access to the Pfister Astrale (Sports Classic) before it hits the general market in February. It comes with the "Side Stripe" livery and is currently free at the Vinewood Car Club.
Members also get that 4X multiplier on Operation Paper Trail missions, which is probably the highest payout those missions have ever seen. Plus, there’s a free Pfister Chore Jacket because apparently, Pfister owners want to look like they do manual labor while paying others to do it.
Your To-Do List Before Thursday
The clock is ticking because these bonuses reset every Thursday morning around 4:00 AM ET. If you want to maximize your time, do this:
- Claim the Car Wash: Even if you never plan on using it after this week, it’s a free asset.
- Run 3 Legal Jobs: Get that easy $100k bonus.
- Sell Your Cash: Fill that Counterfeit Cash Factory and sell in a public lobby for that high-demand bonus.
- Race HSW: If you have the hardware, the 4X payout is too good to ignore.
This week is really about building the foundation for your 2026 empire. Whether you're a veteran with a full garage or a new player just trying to buy your first armored Kuruma, the 3X and 4X multipliers are the fastest way to get ahead before the next big DLC drops.
Actionable Insight: Focus your efforts on the HSW Race Series for immediate cash flow and the Counterfeit Cash Factory for long-term gains while the 40% upgrade discount is active. Don't forget to visit the Gun Van daily to check for armor and ammo discounts that aren't always listed on the Newswire.
