Yeah, those "free" tickets they offer for bumping come out of the same inventory as the frequent flyer mile tickets do. And more and more the airlines aren't letting you switch to the voucher after the fact (so good luck there, Nick). I won't take a bump unless they are specifically giving the $ off voucher and will tell anyone who is considering taking said offer what they are getting. Needless to say I've had some ticked off gate agents when the "suckers" (I mean volunteers) turn them down after they talk to me.
