Me and my family (4 in all) got stranded in ATL on our way back from a vacation in Bonaire. The ATL-GSP flight cancellation was announced at about 10:00pm on 12/29. Delta put 2 of us in 1 hotel and the others 2 in different hotels (idiots) then gave us meal vouchers for dinner and breakfast. We ended up getting home at about 2:00pm on 12/30.

Compensation came in the form of an offer for 4 Macy's gift cards ($150 each) after I called customer care. I didnt think the deal was too great, but the wife and kids were happy, so I accepted it.

Did I give in too early? Could I have negotiated a better deal?
