Sounds like you could’ve done that all by yourself, why did they not offer a refund and what did you state to the DOT?
You are right, the bonus is +20%.
Regarding DoT, I just said that
Copa canceled my flights and offers only a voucher, that I will not have the opportunity to travel the same itinerary (which was a mess to be honest but the only solution I had at that time, with 3 different cities and always connecting through PTY), nor to travel with Copa within the voucher validity. I said that I asked Copa for a reimbursement, which they refused.
The DoT action accelerated my case and gave me the benefit of that 20% bonus that Copa did not offer at the beginning.
