The 2018 San Andreas State Tax Refund And Rebate In GTAO

[-inVADER-]

Did all PC users get 1.350.000?

Seems so.

[RobertL93]

Did all PC users get 1.350.000?

Nope. My gf got 260k

Got 650k.

250k is R* bonus
90k is a cashback from 190z
110k is a cashback from customizing 190z (yes, I had lots of experiments + all parts cost 20k, even to remove something I should have paid...)

200k is unknown for me. Didn't buy anything else.

So this bonus/stimulus is only applicable to one character, correct? Still haven't gotten any thing back for my second character, so I'm assuming that's the case. Still pretty chinsy though, kinda like how daily objective weekly/monthly reward only applies to one character now instead of both... last year, up until the end of the year, I was getting the weekly 100k and monthly 500k for each of my characters.

Still together?

[Preban_ar15]

A few days ago I got the 1.35 and just today when I logged in, I got an additional 500k. Anyone else?

 

Today's message read, congratulations, you have even awarded 500,000

 

It can't be related to loyalty, I just got the game in early December. (although I played on the xbox360 years ago)

All I honestly spent money on later is recustomizing cars and painting them. If I got 1.35m for that, holy sh*t I spend a lot on parts and paint..lol

Pretty good evening for me.

 

First of all got this:

 

Then sold the 75k Bunker supplies I bought the night before for 420k at double $$ (not forgetting to buy another 75k of supplies).

 

Did a 2-hour racing playlist with Night Shift Racing and my online friends.

 

Sold the previous 75k Bunker investment for 420k again (and bought more supplies).

 

Switched to my second character and sold two Elegy Retro Customs lol. You gotta love this game when it all works out.

I suspect you may have just confirmed what I thought about the 1.35 million--that it's completely spontaneous, and unrelated to the tax refund and rebate.

[vicecityrulz]

I play on PC and received $733602, which is about $200000 more than I thought based on bonus and purchases made during that time.

[Black-Dragon96]

Got mine today, 292k and some change. Pretty accurate since i did not spend anything except ammo and 20k for a khanjali replacement.

But the 500k can't be the rebate or tax refund either. I bought a facility,khanjali and other things. I spent 10 mil easy so should have got the max rebate. No idea what this 500k is for Edited March 2, 2018 by Preban_ar15

[Smudge249]

No big loyalty bonus for me but did get the rebate and 250k. Total just over 800k so I'm one of happy ones as buy stuff when have the money anyway so the rebate was a good thing for me

Unfortunately, R* excels at obscurity/ambiguity, and their black "alert" screens are no exception:

 

 

They have been used for everything from returning player bonuses, to spontaneous gifts, to tax refunds, and everything in between--often with little to nothing to differentiate what they're actually for.

 

Typically, the only clue as to their purpose is (hopefully) a preceding screen during the game loading process with more details about the "award" you're about to receive (or in some cases, GTA$ that's being removed from your account):

 

 

Without that preceding information, we can only assume it's a random/spontaneous gift--or an erroneous one on their part (which has quite clearly happened to some lucky players).

 

However, even with the preceding screen, more specific information on the black Alert screen itself is critical, as players can easily miss the preceding screen during the loading process (e.g. using the restroom while the game loads, or simply looking out the window for a few seconds could be enough to miss it).

 

Once again, it's often the simple things that R* continues to either intentionally ignore (or somehow just hasn't thought of) that--if they took a little time to correct--would be the most helpful to their players.

^ plus would it kill them to use a comma here and there

Although it would be easier to read, I think some players would over analyse messages and misinterpret them.

[GTAJJ]

You know the next DLC is going to be a rip off if R* are giving money out.

[IceDree]

I got $1,141,630 tonight ... Which is odd, I only spent around 800k on property shuffling & a 100k on a scuba gear. The rest was the usual daily fees, bunker supplies & I\E ... I ain't complaining though, free money is free money! I'll take it!

 

My brother got $1.35M & he spent a lot of money in comparison.

[JON22]

I've been playing since 360 and I got less than 250k lol. I think the first two numbers were 20. Didn't see the rest 'cause I skipped the message.

 

Maybe I should have bought a shark card at some point.

[MrTroubleMaker]

yup, that's way I'm holding off spending the "tax refund" .

[Ledorus]

So I got 1,093,276 two days ago, which makes no sense to me as there is no way I've spent upwards of 8.4 mil. As I was loading in today I got a screen saying I've been awarded my stimulus and rebate, yet I received nothing today.

[Sanches]

I got a loaylity gift, but still no 1 million, people talking about.

It specifically said stimulus and rebate? Also where did you see this screen? Loading screens?

[EggsAndJam]

Got 325k

Put that on top of the 500k in my bank.

Exported a couple cars.

Could finally afford the savestra.

 

Happy days.

[Wolfpac4Life]

I got 2 mil 13 thousand total a few days ago. First a mil loyalty then second screen just said 2013000 has been deposited to my account

[Dr.Rosenthal]

So I got home from a one week skiing trip last night and logged on to find that I had gotten 1167000, which is a few hundred k more than I thought Id get. Im happy!

 

If I had been at home all week doing bunker sales Id have earned more of course. But I cant complain. Gonna grind out whats left of this event week and make a couple more mil, then Im set for the next update whatever itll be.

[rlk232]

Kinda pissed, my second guy wont be getting a tax refund... total joke. Also, if you're getting the 4x gunrunning, 2x speed and 2x on sale, you might have money taken later.
