Couple of weeks ago, I volunteered to be bumped from a SJC-ORD flight for a connecting flight through DFW. (2 hr difference). I was glad to be bumped as I wanted to attend a conference call which I would have missed with my original flight.

I got $300 voucher. Additionally since I had upgraded my original flight using stickers, I asked GA to make sure that I can get upgraded on the alternate flight. Not only did GA make sure that I was upgraded, she did not even use any stickers for that. Thank you AA.
