Got my first one today - this time for $75 to change from a Sun 9/25 to Mon 9/26 or Wed 9/28 flight (LAX-IAD).
Anyone have any idea how long these offers are valid for? If I wait until the day before or of my current flight, will it still be an option? Also, will AS claw back the credit if I end up canceling the new flight altogether?

This looks to be the program in more detail. https://simpleflying.com/alaska-airl...ting-millions/
Seeking confirmed travelers on high-demand flights to move to those less popular, specifically to resell the popular seat close-in. Not necessarily overbooked and needing people off, which explains flights continuing to sell. I'm guessing moving the early -booked leisure traveler hoping to sell to business travelers close in is the bread and butter.
Seems like it could be a win-win if the traveler has any desire to change flights already and now can avoid any difference in fare.

Are your plans flexible? Email
Is this new? I searched and found an AA post from March 2022 that said they have done it for a while, but couldnt find any reference to AS sending these out. As of a week or two ago, I was still receiving the volunteer for flight credit emails that are handled at the gate.

Two friends of mine (I booked their tickets so I got the emails and app notifications on Wednesday) were offered $700 to change their flight yesterday to the same flight today. They had to get home so they couldn't take it. It killed me when they turned it down.

I will say, despite the paltry offer, I prefer being able to accept an offer beforehand rather than at the gate.

Is this new? No, I got about a half dozen last year. I am flying AS this Wednesday SFO-SNA and got the email to change to the following day. Was offered $25. I know I will be upgraded to the front as there are 5 seats available and only 3 in the back. Gone are the days of Dr. Dao being kicked off a UA flight and being offered $1K plus.
