What does earn oneself in this context mean? For example, "Oh, well! I will say cheers to that. In fact, I think you earned yourself another one on the house." Thank you

In your example, you could replace "you earned yourself" with "you deserve."

Earn in this case means "to get sth that you deserve, usually because of sth good you have done or because of the good qualities you have".
