A bonus excerpt may be sufficient for people to make a determination whether they want to buy the full book.
IMHO A teaser for a NEW series could be both.

Do I need to be bonus teased for a series I am reading?

I stopped reading these back in the days of paperbacks because I was in the habit of browsing the first chapter to decide if I had already read (because of the dratted cover change) the book. I would 'remember having read it' (cuz I read the teaser) and not get the book. Sometimes it took years to discover the false positive.
