as far as I could tell from the website: nothing since I did not pay a bag fee.
Delayed Baggage
If your bags are delayed, notify one of our representatives. You will get a file reference number, which you will need to initiate claims or inquire about your things. You may be eligible for a bag fee rebate (see the next section) if your first or second paid checked bag(s) have been delayed for more than 12 hours after being reported to a baggage service agent/office. In the meantime, you can track the status of your delayed luggage by entering your information below.

You can only claim expenses back caused by the bag delay, if you have receipts. 50$ per day for the first 5 days.
Since I did not have expenses, there was nothing to claim.
