added bonus
Redundant extra benefit
An added bonus is something extra on top of what was already a benefit.
The phrase is technically redundant—a bonus is by definition something added—but the redundancy serves emphasis, stressing that a good situation has gotten even better: The hotel had a pool, and as an added bonus, it was right on the beach.
