As a 1K, my upgrade percentage on low fares (e.g. G) is zero. My upgrade percentage on expensive fares (V or better) is about 80%.
Yeah 1K's on G are supposed to be ahead of Plats on anything less than an instant-upgrade fare. My experience is pretty much the same though - 100% on Q and higher. I save the instruments for cheapo transcon or Hawaii fares.
