How do I say "bonus" in Spanish?

Question

I would like to put a bonus section on my Spanish syllabus but am unsure of what to name the section. I learned "bono" in school but am told that is wrong. When I say a bonus section I mean a section where I list the opportunities where students can earn bonus points. Please help!

Or perhaps the phrase "extra credit"...? - tennismom, Jun 9, 2010

Answer 1

Hola,

Yo diría, "puntos extra".

i completely agree. - AntMexico, Jun 9, 2010

I am just learning Spanish, so for me this would clearly mean "bonus points". - Rikko, Jun 9, 2010

Answer 2

I'd at least think about "plus". It has a legitimate meaning "ventaja" which coincides quite closely with the English "bonus" and it's a whole lot shorter and snappier than some of the possibilites.

...and you don't have to include any accents.

Answer 3

bonificación, aguinaldo, prima, bono (spanglish).

Answer 4

Bonus Points: Puntos de bonificación

Answer 5

Perhaps you could say "La sección de puntos adicionales".

Answer 6

Bonificación.

Answer 7

Premio
