By offering extra money you are implying that the service you received was made expecting money in return. Many people outside of the U.S. may find this insulting. I would try to tip as discreetly as possible, like saying keep the change or (in a restaurant) leaving the tip on the table. If you really owe the person something, get his/her address and send something afterwards.
