Any luck swapping JFK/LGA with same-day-confirmed?

Currently have MSP-JFK for Friday, a paid A fare (First Class discounted). I'm a Gold Medallion, not Diamond.... my flight is 19:45.
Next earlier JFK flight is 14:51 (about 5 hours earlier) and after that there are 2 LGA and 2 EWR flights.
I'm a little hazy on SDC rules-- this would be more than 3 hours beore the flight, AND it's a paid F ticket, AND I'm hoping for a co terminal change.
Any hope of this working out?
Thanks!

as PM, I'm something like 5 for 8 on attempting co-terminal SDCs over the past couple years -- but the successes have been at the connecting airport (DTW and JFK) when requesting to change the destination from BWI to DCA/IAD; no joy when calling in to attempt to change the origin, however

If your profile is correct and you are still a diamond yes. Co-terminaling is a DM benefit and one of the main reasons I try to remain diamond. If you are ticketed from or into JFK you can coterminal into LGA or EWR (providing your fare class is available or you're on a first class ticket). I've done it quite a few times with no issues.

The NYC WX waiver doesn't currently cover Friday, but its existence may increase the odds of success anyway.
