French term or phrase: en prime
English original:
Double AIR MILES reward miles

French translation by contractor:
le double de milles de récompense AIR MILES en prime

Customer edited as:

le double de milles de récompense AIR MILES

What is the meaning of the expression "en prime", and why was it edited out?

Thanks
Replies in English, please.

English translation:bonus, as a bonus
Explanation:
En prime means as an added bonus. I think they edited it out because they already have the phrase double récompense. Otherwise it might be redundant.

Explanation:
means in addition.

without the context, i don't know whether it is necessary to include it or not.

just FYI, in French miles is still miles, not "milles"
