If your upgrade is confirmed, we'll send an email to the address in your AAdvantage profile to let you know you've been upgraded.

If you're not upgraded right away, we'll keep checking for upgrade availability – up to 3.5 hours before your flight.
Not always the case. I've been auto-upgraded while in the T-4 timeframe before any gate agent started prepping the flight.
