English term or phrase: top-up bonus
Is it a common expression used when I get a bonus (e.g. free minutes for calls in my mobile network, or free sms messages) when I recharge my prepaid account or is it called differently, for, example recharge bonus?

Thank you.

Here is another similar use from a US govt publication:

"that many initiatives that aim to improve nurse-to-patient ratios are already up and running. “A good example is Malawi’s ‘top-up’ bonus for nurses, which aims to retain the country’s nurses and support their professional development,” she says."
