Flying from IND - ORD on UA this weekend we volunteered and received $400 each, and were still able to catch our original connection from ORD-SAN. I guess it made it worth it that United had changed our original ORD layover from 1hr - 3hrs.</font>

Did UA cancel an IND-ORD flight in advance?? That would explain why your flight went out overbooked. I was rebooked on the Sunday after Thanksgiving: I was booked on the 7pm HP MSP--PHX which was cancelled, and rebooked onto the 4:30pm HP MSP--PHX, now the latest HP flight from MSP that night. I'm banking on the flight being waaay overbooked. :-D
