Do I have to meet some legalese requirement explictly asking 'Do you have a space available upgrade...I would like to utilize that space available upgrade'?
As a Gold, I would put the following in the comments box on the on line registration form:

Please provide HH Gold upgrade if available. Thanks and I look forward to staying with you!

Successful about 1/3 of the time without begging at check in.
