When I was flying back from England on British airways I got bumped off my flight to Chicago and was super pissed. Airline said I would have to get on a flight the following morning, but decided to give me a full refund for my ticket and put the amount on a prepaid debit card. They later came back and said they could put me on a flight tochicago a few hours later. They let me keep the 800 bucks. Felt phenomenal.
