If you rebooked it by starting from the original credit, then probably not -- that's treated as a flight change, which does not have a 24-hour grace period.

If you rebooked it by starting from the search results and then applying FFC at the last step, then probably yes, but I don't know whether or not United would handle that situation properly (that path is new functionality, recently introduced).
