Called again and spoke to another agent who promptly upgraded me and assigned me a seat within two minutes. The reason I didn't HUACA was because I was worried I would get the same agent/supervisor again since it was 4:55-5:30AM.

A few things the supervisor said:
1. I should be able to check-in starting the midnight before my flight. I asked isn't it T-24, she says nope I can check-in earlier since I'm 75K.
2. The upgrade process works perfectly fine. It only doesn't work when the system is down. I guess she didn't get the memo about the upgrade process NOT working properly.
3. I can check the upgrade waitlist prior to T-24 by going to "Flight Status" and inputting my flight details. I asked isn't this only possible within T-24? She said no I can do this any time.

I'm really not sure if I should report her since I think she really needs retraining.
By all means, contact Customer Care. Not with the intent of retribution but for, as you note, (re)training. That agent needs a refresher.
