Default Delta Scam

So, I also got bumped recently from a flight with Delta. I was supposed to receive $1000 compensation for being pushed one day. They do this weird thing where they make you put it into gift cards or a physical Amex prepaid card. Even more weird, they actually made me select two $500 Amex prepaid cards which had to be mailed to my house, even though I have a Delta business gold Amex card they could just credit?
Guess what happened?! I never received the physical cards (so shocking). I spent about 2 hours talking to various reps at Delta, all of them told me different things including that somehow this is now Amex's problem?
All I know now is that Delta bumped me, offered to give me $1000 and then didn't. Now they're claiming that it's not their problem.
Maybe it's time to stop flying Delta? Maybe I will take it up with Amex and maybe get them to issue me another airline card. Does anyone have any suggestions?
