I believe it is cash from what I’ve read.
“How one woman made $11,000 after getting bumped from a Delta flight”

Delta gives people a gift card, basically. A lot of the people who have the time to give up their seats aren’t frequent fliers and therefore might not want a voucher for a flight - but everybody knows how to use cash!
That said, I fly Delta a lot, and while it’s often business related - I’m the business, so nobody is paying but me. There’s no corporate account. So therefore I could pick any airline, but I always pick Delta because they have always treated me decently. When flights have been cancelled - rare, but it happens occasionally on one international route I fly - they put us up, rebook us and upgrade anybody who they can on the new flight. And the staff is usually courteous and knowledgeable.
I’m not surprised about these United reports, because I have never had a pleasant flight with them (I think there’s a management problem, because their public contact personnel always seem very stressed and on edge) and I stopped flying United once I moved into Delta territory and discovered how nice it was to be well-treated.
