This is new.
Previously, all CO volunteers received the same (highest) comp.
However, you had to be at the gate to claim the comp, if it was raised.
I was once sent from a departure gate to a CO Customer Service Center to have them process the VDB voucher/re-route.
While there I heard the GA raise the VDB comp.
I noted it to the service rep and my voucher amount was increased.
I always confirm that if the VDB offer increases I will receive the higher amount.
