also, does the W allow for early check-in?

What is your SPG level? Like anything there is a chance.

As you know, upgrades are based on check in. Calling defeats the purpose of the published benefits (think if every person called/emailed/faxed for a better room the day before). Most properties seem to upgrade platinum's the night before. From what has been posted here and personal experience, upgrades are handled differently at each property based on occupancy and the number of elite members.

Please note, just because you see an "upgrade" today, do not be disappointed if when you check in that room type changes.
