Normally airlines only bump when they are certain that the flight is oversold, which doesn't happen until at least after check in closes for the flight and sometimes just before the door closes at T-15 or whatever. So it would be extraordinary to manage to get yourself bumped to an earlier flight......and if this happens, the airline might not be required to offer compensation as you would presumably not arrive at your destination later than the originally scheduled time.
