Indeed it was reported and confirmed that a volunteer was rejected when having asked UA for an expiring, funny money UA voucher good toward $1600 of travel. UA was too miserly to accept a reasonable offer like that and instead decided to run up the IDB stats instead of running up the VDB stats. Bad form, United.
