Can't say about the general success quote; not too many here seem to have scored one yet for an intercont. flight.
I got two for a flight FRA-EWR two months ago. Only for the FRA-EWR segment which was packed in biz. None for the return where at least half the flight was empty... Request was some 4 weeks before flight and on the cheapest possible fare...
