Similar Stories to How To Make Thousands In Travel Credit — And Even Get An Upgrade — From Getting Bumped Off A Flight on Bing News

God Save the Points If you're not in a major rush, getting bumped off a flight can work to your advantage. There are a few 'best practices' to keep in mind which make you the ideal volunteer for catching the next flight, according to God Save the Points blogger Gilbert Ott. Getting bumped off a flight can earn you thousands in travel credit. Sometimes, like over the Christmas holidays, your flight taking off and landing on time can be the determining factor in whether you make it to important events. However, when you're about to embark on a holiday or are on your return journey with little to look forward to, you might have a more easygoing attitude towards arriving a bit late — and accepting money, travel credit, and a flight upgrade can seem like a pretty good deal in return for taking a later flight. According to Gilbert Ott of God Save the Points, blogger and expert at finding cheap flights and scoring first class trips using air miles, taking advantage of an overbooked flight can be "far more lucrative than any loyalty program on earth" and can earn you thousands a year in travel credit "just for being 'cool' about flexibility." In a blog post on God Save the Points, Ott said there are a few "best practices" to keep in mind which should "put you first in line to catch the next flight, in the likely event that yours is oversold." Be smart with your flight date and time "Step one is focusing on routes and flights where important business travel is a major factor," Ott writes.
