$10,000 Travel Voucher - Ask for Cash

Good to hear that someone was rewarded and didn't resort to bad behavior.

Wow, I probably would have been fine with the initial offer of $2k.  I don't see how $650 cash can be worse for United than a $10k voucher unless the voucher isn't likely to be redeemed.
