top-ups

Extra portions added

Top-ups are additional amounts added to something already present.

In British usage, a top-up refills a drink that's getting low: Would you like a top-up on your wine?

The term extends to adding credit to a prepaid phone, supplementing a pension, or any incremental addition to an existing balance: I need to buy a top-up for my mobile.
