Actually, if a passenger is denied the opportunity to board an oversold flight, the carrier has to report him as an "invol". It does not matter if the passenger accepts a voucher instead of cash.

Also, if a passenger misses the check-in requirement for an oversold flight and is denied boarding, that passenger is also to be reported as an invol, even if he is not entitled to compensation under the Part 250.
