I remember being told you can even no-show and the ticket is still valid. I have booked 28hrs out (even offered within 5hrs of departure ex-US), I have not cancelled short notice, neither have I no-showed.
You could give them a call tomorrow morning and - if you find someone who knows how to do it - just look for award availability on the big bird for next week. I guess it'll involve the special A380 award waitlist/queue function.
I don't know if you have access to the loads, but here they are: 8/20:F0A0, 8/21:F4A4, 8/22:F8A8, 8/23:F8A8, 8/24:F8A8, 8/25:F2A2, 8/26:F7A6, 8/27:F2A1.
