I got $800 to take a flight two hours later, and then the original flight was cancelled about 25 minutes after I took the flight change.

$900

Boxing Day flight from Detroit to Ft. Lauderdale. Ended up getting rebooked on the next flight an hour later and got a free trip to Amsterdam out of it.

1300 per ticket for a 2h flight (2 tix) booked on points. Upgraded to business on return, and airline paid for an extra night in a swanky vacation destination. And this was in 2013 - before all the bumping drama.

How do you negotiate with them?

$600 to wait an hour.

1700, Delta!

These are some good $$. Generally when I hear announcements $400 is max that I have heard.
Do you all (who got much higher $$) negotiate it or offered that high straight?

They offer 2k max on my regular Thursday night to Atlanta out of the Midwest

so here is how it has worked for me.. if the flight is overbooked, sometimes they will send you a note when you check in and ask how.much you will accept... often times, for me, it's up to a max of 500. so if you get bumped, that's all you get. however, if you are at the airport, and you hear them start to offer comp, put yourself on list. My experience is, the last person to get bumped set the comp everyone gets. So for me, once I am at the gate and I have time built in, and I hear 'who is willing...... ' my hands go str8 up.. Love me.some extra dollars

2800 on a Delta flight from ATL to ORD. The craziest part is that they paid 7 people that amount. Made over $13K that summer volunteering

WOWWWWW 😍
