Yes - but as an elite, there is no benefit. The rev up is supposed to be available only after all eligible elites (and presumably companions) have been upgraded.
Also, I've called and managed to pay the difference from coach to first after the 24 hour mark without a change fee. There have been sporadic reports of others who have also done this (and people who've been turned down). It's the change in-cabin that they hit you up for, and I agree should not. If someone wants to pay for a higher fare class, same flight, cabin and refundability, there shouldn't, IMHO, be a change fee.
