So if I get to the gate and don't get a VDB offer, can I still use the waiver to travel later? Or is there a T -x cutoff?

I'm not aware of a travel waiver change cutoff. I've changed an hour before a flight and even after scheduled departure time (but was still >1 hour from the new delayed departure time).
