I've been offered re-route and couple of hundred (Australian) dollars a couple of times at Sydney for SYD-AKL. The usual drill has been to go via WLG or CHC to Auckland, or to stay overnight in Sydney at a hotel provided by the airline. Most often on the evening flights, but once on the mid-afternoon flight. Of course, I'm usually on NZ-issued tickets so its not a big deal with UA shenanigans.
