‘You will receive compensation in the form of a gift card.’ A Passenger Filmed A Delta Employee Offering $700-$1,200 Vouchers To Passengers
by Matthew Gilligan
Unfortunately, I’ve never been at the airport when a big, fat voucher for a later flight and hotel accommodations was offered to passengers waiting for a plane.
But it happens, my friends!
And a woman named Simone shared a video to TikTok that showed her husband at the airport listening to a Delta Airlines employee continue to up the ante for vouchers to accept a later flight to Pittsburgh.
The offer from the employee started at $700 and went all the way to $1,200.

The employee is heard saying, “You will receive compensation in the form of a gift card: American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Amazon, Best Buy, and AirBnB, just to name a few. It’s your choice.”
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal!
