To clarify ZORN's comments, the upgrade window is based on days, not hours - so you will be alright if you call (and you can upgrade online as well) at 12:01 AM ET.

Of note, with Canadian Airlines (eventually taken over by AC in late 1999), the upgrade temporal window used to be hours based, not days based.
