I got a free ticket from United by volunteering to wait a couple of hours in Denver for the next flight to New York early in December. Almost got another free ticket from United on Dec. 28 when their Reno - LAX CRJ flight was oversold - they asked me when I checked in if I wanted to volunteer. But they ended up offloading enough passengers onto the Reno - SFO flight (also CRJ) so they didn't take me. (They would have put me up in a hotel and sent me back to NY via Denver on non-CRJ flights the next day).
