You sometimes get cash offers a few days beforehand. A typical Y->J upgrade would be around £500 from UK to DXB.
Paid PE is very new - so I've don't think we've had any reports of emailed offers from Y -> PE as yet.
You can also ask at the airport check-in. I've never seen it myself, but others have reported that they sometimes have upgrade offers.
