I'm flying DTW-EWR-SJU in L. Talked to elite line, they said no upgrade for me.
You've got as good of a chance as normal for upgrades. When I flew PHX-IAH-SJU in January, I was upgraded on 3/4 legs as a NW Plat. In fact, I found the US-SJU flights an easier upgrade than normal domestic flights. It's possible that the plane if full in FC, so perhaps check online.
