Just before the pandemic started, i was on a Jetblue flight (the last of the day) that taxied for a while before the pilot decided there was something wrong with a tire, and drove us back to the gate. Too late at night to have ground crew change it, no extra plane ready. They offered a motel voucher, which most took, but two of us asked to be booked on a 5 AM flight, and stay in the terminal. The gate agent had to arrange it with the security guards. They gave us a food voucher (less than $10), clearly not the same monetary value as the motel room, but more than nothing.
