I was silver for 3 years and have been gold the last two. I try to not fly elite heavy routes/times and have seen a drastic improvement in my upgrade % as a gold.

YMMV
My routes are usually Yvr-Msp-Eastcoast (either DC, Virginia or Florida). I've never been upgraded from Yvr-msp and msp-yvr...

Next year... I got a trip to Athens in the summer, and a 4-6 eastcoast trips to do and tons of Vegas trips
