AA seemed to quietly change direction on this once a majority of the 777 fleet received PE.
Now, the language on the website only seems to make domestic PE upgrades complimentary to EXP/CK's... which is basically just to Hawaii.
Someone - in this thread, or another - reported they have been able to sweet talk the AC agents into upgrading him complimentary to PE on INTL flights once he got to the lounge before departure.
Other than that, you can request a cash upgrade at check-in. I think reports have been from $350-$450.
