One man’s trash is another’s treasure. Besides, a lot can come up between last day to put in bids and the end of the month. Sometimes it’s just trading one good (but non-commutable) trip for another good (or almost as good) commutable trip that gets you in an hour or two earlier. Saves you a night in a hotel on your own dime.
Big money difference? Not so much. But sleeping in your own bed tonight as opposed to buying a hotel night and losing a morning of time waiting to jumpseat home is not a trivial thing either.
