1. Anybody who accepts VDB without knowing the deal is not looking out for themselves. Remember, whatever the VDB is, that's it. If you are stuck over night and they don't include a hotel, you don't get a hotel.

2. It's not IDB because you don't sign the VDB paperwork. That's just to document your acceptance. If you don't sign, the GA has some work to do writing up what happened. But, you don't get IDB comp and it doesn't get reported as IDB to DOT.
