This happens all the time -- internet fare vs. non-internet fare. It essentially devalues paper coupons somewhat.

Other airlines take coupons/discounts on their websites. CO and NW are good examples.

Internet fare minus bump voucher, and you're in business. The fact that UA closed all the CTO's but still issues paper bump vouchers and coupons is just asinine, IMO.
