Is this the best way to salvage the use of the ticket?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Most Airlines have a pretty strict policy on bump tickets. I am assuming you got the free trip voucher instead of the dollar value voucher. In hind sight, you probably should have gotten the dollar value voucher. Either way, I believe most policies require you to use it or lose it. There isn't really anyway to extend it beyond the year that they gave you. I would know because I've tried to do the same before. Good Luck.
