What are the odds my '08 cert will be accepted. It is still technically Feb 28th back home?

Use local time for the upgrade window and destination time for the cert.
"Mr(s) Gate Agent, I would gladly give you a 2009 cert, but AP did not mail them to me in time. I selected my benefits Dec 11 when they were first announced, but they did not arrive in time. I called the SE desk to enquire, they explicitly said that my 2008 cert would be accepted given the timing issue and my continued loyalty to AC"
