What would be the best way to award money every X amount fo minutes?
Would I just create a loop on player join?

Wondering for the best way to save resources, etc.

You could use os.time or just use a while loop and award it after certain intervals. Also use SetAsync after giving them money.

local minutes = 5
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	while wait(minutes * 60) do
		-- reward player
	end
end)

That should do the job

This is an example using os.time, same concept though.

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    while true do
        local passed = os.time()

        repeat wait(1) until (os.time() - passed) >= interval

        player.leaderstats.Money.Value += amount
    end
end)

I’ll stick to using while wait(10) do seems like it would be better to do as I would only be doing 1 wait.

Adding on to this, if i was to check for a gamepass for X2 money would I be best just setting a BoolValue on the player server-side or just checking everytime.

Make each player have a multiplier IntValue and multiply the money earned by that IntValue.
