Depends on circumstances

I took $500 to fly later on a work trip just meant I got home really late Friday

$400 if I am guaranteed to leave within 4 hours. $600 if I am guaranteed to leave within 6 hours. $800 if I am guaranteed to leave within 8 hours.

To push my flight back an entire day, it would probably require $1000.

I usually have a prepaid hotel room waiting on me at the destination, so I never consider any of the offers. Now if the offer included first class on a flight to Europe, I’d take a look.

I don't get overbooked flights. So what, they sell more tickets than they have seats just to make sure they make all the money they can while fricking over their customers?

I flew out of LAX on 12-24 and the flight before mine was going to Burbank & they needed 16 less people on it because of a a weight limit issue due to there being a fuel tank of fuel. So there's that scenario also. They were offering $100 vouchers for people to take the next flight an hour later and it appeared that they got enough volunteers.
