That's the term used for mobile phone bonuses
Note from asker:
| The original is in French. We don't call them bonuses in English. We might refer to bonus minutes or bonus credit. I'm looking for the translation from French to English. Thanks anyway. |

: It isn't and that makes a confidence level of 5 even more inappropriate.

Another suggestion.
Sometimes, the 'bonus' you get when topping up can also consist of free calls to a particular number or even real rewards.
With this context, 'free credit' works fine, it just depends on what the rest of the text says.
But for this reason, I would personally chose to say 'prize'

Discussion
Sometimes, instead of free credit, the 'bonus' can consist of free calls or half-price calls to a particular number or country, or even win devices by entering a code received when topping up...
In that case, 'bonus' would be translated in English by 'prizes'. And 'prizes' can also work to mean 'free credit' :)
