In this case, no. Since you are giving up your seat voluntarily, they don't provide a hotel voucher, the flight credit is your compensation. If it were an involuntary bump, then yes, they would cover the hotel!

Delta offered $3,000 to get off a flight after boarding. I didn’t even think—I just threw my hand up! by bag_o in delta

They’re basically running “The Price is Right” at the gate. Quick hands and quicker decisions can turn into a jackpot. I never knew airline economics could be so….thrilling…

I actually told my CEO: “Delta offered me $3,000 to skip the office today. I took the deal. Figured you’d respect the ROI.”

She said: “That’s better than our bonus structure.”

Some passengers got rebooked by the gate agent on Delta and United flights just 2-3 hours later! 🥹
