my bigger quesion is that
since my fare is cur nyc, and my 13 hours clt could be seen as a layover, so if they rebook me on morning mia clt, they can claim they owe me nothing.
In my experience you have a higher probability to get a hotel stay if the flight is int'l. And, depending who you get on the phone they may indeed make it a layover - I guess you find out when calling whether someone is providing you the right options quite quick. Then, I would take an airport hotel (use credit-card to limit your exposure, etc.) and claim it with the airline (given delay is mechanical) - you probably need that to go to work (anyway).
