The reg in question says nothing about the airline's ability to offer whatever it wants to passengers, as an enticement to get them to change to another flight, to change to another seat, to wear the airline's promotional hat, or anything else. Nothing. Your assertion that it does, is just as bizarre as it would be to assert that the regulation in question pertains to the thickness of paper on which ticket stock must be printed.
Delta offers frequently (depends on the situation) more then the "min. amount". My "ex housedragon" received last year 2.000 Dollar+Hotel and Dinner.
