You use "in" if you have a date, or a special event or activity. Also since you did not specify the exact month, then it will be as follows:
I think I will get a bonus this month. (Using this month specifies exactly the month you are in). If you were to know that it would be in another month, then you would say.
I think I will get a bonus in December. (This is because the name of the month is mentioned and it is far off yet. Or another way to say it using the month's name is:
I think I will get a bonus this December.(Here you specify that is this December comming up.)
You can also say the following:
I believe I will get a bonus this month.
Believe (because you are more sure about it and there was a mention of it)
I think (because you are not sure yet, you have not heard about it and you only suspect you will get one).
Hope this helped you a bit.

You don't need a preposition in this sentence, "I think I will get a bonus this month" is perfectly correct.

No preposition is needed. You would just say, "I think I will get a bonus this month."

I think that I will get a bonus this month is all you need.

the correct sentence is
I think i will get a bonus this month.
there is no " in" or anything else in between.
