Delta's program for 20 minutes late is true, but you need to have bought the ticket thru Delta and you have to be signed for the priority program.

Do NOT take the $25 Alaska Credit if your bag is delayed! With 10 lost bags, you could end up with a free flight on Alaska by claiming the 2,500 Miles credit!

Alaska will only issue me one 2500 miles for delayed bags, not per bag. I had 3 checked bags, and was told only one 2500 miles. Also have had a few occasions where there is no-one in the baggage office to get get my delayed bag miles.

Southwest pays up to 3800 in compensation. Usually airlines will tell you 50 dollars a day but it’s not always the case

American Airlines lost my bag for 30 days, and I had to go to three countries on a trip I had saved for for a month with only the clothes on my back because I am disabled, was alone, and spent my whole trip trying to get my bags back. The airline told me there was nothing they could do for me even though I kept contacting them with reference numbers, case numbers, and emails from the moment my bag was lost. Ruined my whole trip! The airline said I waited too long and never contacted them even when I sent them the proof and sent hard copies to them!

Lawyer. Threaten youve been in talks with your layer and threaten lawsuit. If that does not work continue to gather your shit together, all documents and subpoena them. They will settle.
