We've had limited reports of some people have to ask/verbalize this request prior to receiving their voucher.

I believe years ago there was even a case where a person had to escalate to a Red Coat to get their offer matched to the highest.

Obviously it is very rare - but my point is - please don't be complacent about it. Be polite but make sure you pay attention if you'd like to maximize what you get out of it.
