to say extra bonus points.. or bonus points

Yes, absolutely correct English.
A bonus is something extra or additional given freely. An "extra bonus" is something extra on top of the usual bonus.
For instance, loyalty programs usually allow you to collect points, and they might say, you get bonus points if you use a certain credit card together with your loyalty card. Then once in a rare moon they'll offer an extra bonus, where you might get thousands of points if you buy certain products within a particular period.

Yes, it is totally correct. It is used frequently, particularly in the context of supermarket and hardware chains who allocate store card holders additional "bonus points" for buying certain articles, or for making purchases on certain days.
Yahoo give "extra bonus points" for the number of "thumbs up" added to a "best answer" for instance.

Depends on the context. In marketing, advertising or games "extra bonus" or "double bonus" would raise few eyebrows. But in other serious writing it would be a bit over the top.

It's a tad redundant, but that gets our attention, especially the word "extra" since x's are so unusual in English.
