I did not track my stats last year (but am in detail this year), and in part for me it is harder because I have quite a few single class aircraft flights, but I know that as a 1K this year my upgrade rate zoomed from being a PE, but still was not 100%. Domestically it was probably 90-95%. Internationally I did 6 flights as a 1K (Made 1K in late August) and only requested an upgrade on five and only got 4, so 4 for 5 or 80%.
Last year I was 1P most of the year on UA, making 1K in November. I was gold on AA, the equivalent of 2P on UA. my UG percentage on UA was in the mid-60% range, and my UG percentage on AA was 75%. If I didn't have to fly UA because they have the contract on most of the routes I use business flights, I'd fly AA exclusively.
