Marketing - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: ticket qui rapporte
This occurs in the following sentence, from a text about teaching marketing techniques:

Une achetée-une gratuite, 50% sur les prix affichés, bons d’achat de 15 / 25 / 35 / 40 Euros, ticket qui rapporte, pour 1 Euro de plus… ".

prize voucher
Explanation:
it is one item in a list of possible marketing gimmicks...
anything with "which gives you" etc. needs to be followed by the actual prize, which isn't the case. "Pour 1 EUR de plus" refers to another gimmick on the list and not to the "ticket". "for 1 EUR extra, we polish your shoes!" kind of thing.

It was the fact that the phrase is incomplete, as you say, that caused me the problem, and I agree with you about the 1 Euro.

money-off voucher/receipt


Explanation:
I see this as being the supermarket receipt which gives you so much off a future shop because you've bought such and such an item (Leclerc, pour ne pas le nommer, does this if you have their shop card), or with your till receipt you get a mony-off voucher for specific items... (Champion for example does this....)
