Congrats on the Platinum...and upcoming 1K !

Long haul International flights do not qualify for automatic, complimentary upgrades. This is true for everyone, including 1K and Global Services.
Once you hit 1K, you will receive 6 upgrade certificates (GPU) which can be applied to W-fare or higher International trips.

For regular, domestic USA flights, you will be automatically placed on an upgrade list, sorted by status, flight bucket, etc.

Everyone on the upgrade list for Intl (Polaris) flights supported the upgrade request in some manner. Certificate, Miles/money, etc. Or they are employees eligible if any empty seats remain.
