I got the same offer last year flying United last year at Dulles in Washington while on business to Buenos Aires.
They bumped me involuntarily, and offered me a free ticket in the continental US and Canada, or $400USD. They bumped me by a whole day, gave me a night in an executive room at a Holiday Inn, and three meal vouchers until my next flight the following day.
I did some shopping at a mall, got to my office in Argentina late, but I came our $400 bucks richer, and of course, I didn't tell my company I got comped so well as the cheque was made in my name, not my company's.
I did miss a Sunday of touring Buenos Aires before I started work that week, but hey, $400 bucks is 400 bucks.
