That is similar to the one I got from Delta. It came up on my check in kiosk. ETA, I think it was at hotel kiosk, not airlines. I picked the highest amount. This was 7 years ago. The group I traveled with all said no because they thought it was a scam, was worried about work reimbursement or had plans when returning home. I ended up returning on a flight that came home about a two hours later.
for flying from Norfolk, Va to Flint, MI
Depends upon circumstances. But, if I didn’t have to be home by a certain time, sure. I’d give up my seat, as long as they got me home that day. If I had appointments or a special event, then maybe not.
To be clear, they are asking what it would take for you to accept a later flight. They are not bumping you and you're not committed. If they need four seats and other folks have selected lower amounts, they'll get bumped first. And they might not even need any seats. They are anticipating an overbooking situation, but it's not a sure thing.
