Journal Entry to Record Free Credit

Hello,

 

I have a prepaid card I use at charging stations to charge my electric vehicle. I add a balance to it each month (prepaid asset) and reduce the balance from the card each time I charge (expense). When I add the balance each month, depending on how much I add I get a free % amount added to the card (ex If I add $100 i'll get $5 extra for free). What is the other side of the entry to account for the $5? So far I have:

 

DR Prepaid Charging $105

CR Credit Card $100

CR ????

That is what I assumed, however is it still considered as Income (for tax purposes), even if this extra $5 can only be used to charge?
