I wonder if they'll make exceptions. Let's say I'm doing a daytrip somewhere - one of my regular trips to visit a project site. I accept a bump because I don't really *have* to make the trip at all....I'll just make the trip a couple weeks later.
Unless the agent has some reason to think I'm a chronic bumpee - there with no real intent to fly - would they allow you to either hold the value in the ticket or reconfirm to a flight weeks later instead of the next one out? Call it a "trip in vain" or whatever...
