I have been lucky enough to receive a few comps.
Cases have included:
YYZ-YEG: Get to the gate(30 min before flight CNX from ALB), hand her my boarding pass, the GA says "Mr. XXX" we have been trying to page you. Hands me an upgraded BP.
YYZ-YEG: Waiting in the MLL, waiting for my flight(AC Metal) look at the departure screen see the flight cancelled replaced by a CP Metal (3XXX) flight. Talk to lounge agent says nothing can be done Y seat lost, but promises to look into the matter. Get a page 5 min later hands me a J boarding pass.

Last year -- YYZ-FRA: Check in early, find my boarding pass has "Gate" listed for seating assignment. The guy at the kiosk assures me "No problem" you will get a seat(TM). Talk to friendly Counter Agent. Explain I am meeting my girlfriend who is flying in from BOS. Taps aways the keyboard and hands me a J boarding pass(Neat considering I had no status at the time.) Though flight is delayed to the elephant not getting on board
