That's what we experience as well. I think the main reason is the overwhelming numbers of elites in the US due to CCs.

I think places like Thailand and Malaysia there are better chances of getting upgrades as elites, as status is well appreciated there. In Hong Kong I need to get a hold of the Room Manager in a CY in order to get a better upgrade when I need a room with the kids.
