I am silver, soon to be gold, and I have been upgraded twice.
Once at the check-in which was when I was flying to Moscow, y to J.
Also, the second time which was pretty awesome was Dubai to JFK, that was upgraded at the gate, which I was incredibly happy about. Y to J again.
Most inter-gulf flights i find that I rarely get upgraded as there are so many golds and silvers on these flights. If the flight is overbooked, you most likely will get upgraded.
