Something went wrong with my login bonus... Last Friday I logged in and got the bonus as usual. I didn't do any career races though, just some split screen races. When I started the game yesterday, the login bonus was back at 110%!!

And even worse; today I started the game again and I didn't get a message about the login bonus, and still get only 110% :/ Anyone else having these kind of problems? Is it because I only did a few arcade races? And why do I still only get 110% the next day?

If you miss days (Saturday in your case) you move one day back on the 5 day scale.
 
This has happened to me as well, even though I have logged in every day it went back to day 1 yesterday and when I signed in today it stated there.
 
You don't need to save manually. You just have to make sure you do something so that the game saves itself.
 
The game saved automatically when the log in bonus came in in GT5 due to the free items, GT6 no longer has this and only saves when you leave an online lobby, or return to the home screen from purchasing something, changing something or leaving a race. Make sure you do this to not run into the problem. :)
 
I should have been awarded the 5 day log in bonus today, but was set back to the 2 day bonus when I logged in this am. Smh.

I should add, as my handle explains, I'm a veteran of the login bonus and I know how is works.

I logged in today, got the 200% bonus, realised my PS3's time was set wrong so I changed it using the DST settings to put it back an hour, now I'm only at 130%.

That could be it, since I don't remember the game autosaving after the arcade races.

@ everyone else that's having these problems: did you have the game saved the day before the bonus reverted back?
 
I had this over the weekend as well. I logged in on Saturday and got told I had a 110% login bonus. I made sure my game had saved before logging out by washing my car. Logged in last night to run some races and it told me I had a 110% bonus. Annoying.

Though it was more than 24 hours between logins, probably closer to 36 hours, maybe that's the problem?
 
Same problem to me.
Regulary daily logged from wednesday, but bonus dropped friday and saturday. Yesterday is back to increase. I have yet to check out today.

Or hit the Start button and go down to Save.

Last time I "checked in" was Sunday sometime after midnight, maintained my bonus. Then around 10pm Dunday, I checked in again and the bonus screen was presented. Weird.
 
here's a question, how many of you used any of the glitches? i didnt, i also fixed my clock a while ago and i manually save each time out of paranoia and i currently have 200%.

But seriously, if all the 1.01 update abusers were experiencing this I'd expect more threads about this or a heck of a lot more post in this thread.
 
I've actually also experienced it on my GTP_ account. Went from what should've been day three to day one today, which shows manually saving also can fail, apparently.
 
Since I'm not the only person with this problem, I'm more at ease knowing it's not my fault (even if I already figured it's a glitch with PD). I was really looking forward to my 200% bonus but since the log in bonus isn't working properly I guess we just have to wait till they fix it; shame really.
 
I missed one day... set me back to 110%

I haven't had any issues as of yet. I do however always manually save before I quit the game and I also make a backup copy of the save to a USB stick after I am done playing for the day just in case ;)
 
I've only got to 130% once, a couple of days after the bonus started. I missed a day or two after but since then, no matter what I do (some days I log in just to keep the bonus up), it stays on 110%
