This was after being bumped from a full dinner to full nothing flight.
Are meal vouchers no longer offered as part of a bump now? What is the official policy? I got bumped on a flight from PIT to DEN last weekend, and I they could not reschedule me until the following day. I asked for a meal vouchers, and it took quite a bit of haggling with the gate agent to get both hotel and meal for taking the bump! I don't remember this being an issue before.
