Happened to me once too as a GS. United called and told me I could take another ORD-LHR flight in F (there are three a day).
Told them no problem, but you are going to pay for my inconvenience. I received a $600 voucher.
What I assumed happened is that they sold all the other seats in full-fare and that they need mine to complete the deal. They didn't flinch when I asked for the voucher.
