The upcoming Mansions update for Grand Theft Auto Online has players scrambling to fill their virtual bank accounts, and Rockstar Games just made it significantly easier to prepare for what's expected to be one of the most expensive content drops in the game's history.
The developer has launched a special promotion that essentially hands players millions in free in-game currency. The catch? The clock is ticking, and many players might miss out if they don't act fast.
Starting immediately and running through January 7, 2026, players who purchase specific Shark Cards through the official Rockstar Games website can receive an additional 40% in bonus GTA dollars at no extra cost. This means players who purchase a Great White Shark Card normally receive $1.5 million in virtual currency, but with this promotion, that amount jumps to $2.1 million. Even better, the Whale Shark Card bumps from its standard $4.25 million to nearly $6 million with the bonus applied, while the Megalodon Shark Card sees its value boosted to a staggering $14 million because of this promotion.
There's a specific process players need to follow to claim this offer. First, players must visit the official GTA Online page on the Rockstar Games website before December 7, 2025, at 11 PM ET. Once there, they'll need to locate the promotional section advertising the 40% bonus and click the prominently displayed claim button.
After signing into their account, players will see a confirmation screen showing their linked gaming accounts and verifying that they've successfully claimed the offer.
Once claimed, players have until January 7, 2026, to make their purchase and receive the bonus. Reminder: the offer only applies to the first Shark Card purchased after claiming.
This isn't Rockstar's only effort to help players prepare for the Mansions update. The developer is also running concurrent promotions, including a free Executive Office for all players this week and an opportunity to earn up to $3 million in discounts on mansion purchases by completing specific missions.
Players who complete all three New Listings missions are already seeing rewards deposited directly into their Maze Bank accounts. Additionally, those who return on December 9 can claim an extra $2 million discount on luxury real estate listings as well as exclusive cosmetic items like the Black Rockstar Varsity Crewneck.
Not everyone needs to rush through the missions to qualify for something. Simply logging in between November 13 and December 7 places players in the Black tier. This level comes with a free Übermacht Revolter at Luxury Autos fitted with a limited Sessanta Nove monogram pattern. A matching set of clothing pieces is included as well, reinforcing the idea that Prix is trying to build its own brand inside Los Santos.
The Revolter alone isn't cheap, so getting it at no cost is a substantial perk for casual and veteran players alike.
