I have heard $800 as of late.

Never say never, but I don't believe you will arrange for VDB anywhere but at the airport within three hours of scheduled departure. A weather cancellation or a bunch of no-shows could 'solve' the day's problem so Delta is unlikely to commit to compensation well in advance.
