When you decide to go offline, I'm guessing that you don't quit the game, but access notification center (if you are on android device) or control center (if you are on iDevice) by swiping down or up from within the game. And if you go through the comments in my solitary blog about this whole online vs offline conundrum, you'll see that I've mentioned that the game behaves as if it is still online if you have not force closed it after going offline. I've managed to use this bit to my advantage by servicing cars 'while I'm offline', getting daily reward bonus at bonus 'while I'm offline', refilling drive 'while I'm offline', register scores in challenges 'while I'm offline'...you get it, don't you? The game doesn't recognise that you have gone offline until you force it to look. There are two ways you can do that. The surest way is to quit the game and force close it, and reopen. The easier and quicker way is to switch off the display / lock the device for a few seconds and then switch the display back on. If you choose the second way, make sure that you get the "synchronisation error prompt" on your screen which should pop up almost immediately when you unlock device.

PS: If you are interested how to make use of that error prompt, you might like to go through my blog about it.

PPS: There is a third, although less desirable, way to avoid getting the daily reward for the day until you want to, that I find especially useful during team challenges since I'd hate to waste the 'x% bonus fame for the first race you race today' daily reward on anything but a 10 lapper LeMans race. All you have to do is keep racing in a loop of [ Race > Retry > Race ]. The moment you quit the loop by pressing 'continue' after finishing a race, you'll get the daily bonus if you are online.
