What I can tell is that you apply and then either receive approval or rejection. Can't say anything about chances, but rejections seem to be quite common and it can take some weeks until you receive them.
As far as I am aware, there are no unified award capacities, so award availability for other programs could be an indicator at best.

What definitely helps is to provide them with as many alternatives as possible. Btw there currently seems to be a system issue (let's pray it's just that). Regardless of what I search for, I always get "No flights found".
