In my personal experience, over about 40 flights in the past 12 months.
As Silver i would get about 1/5 flights upgraded.
As gold i would get 1/4 flights upgraded.
As gold elite / platinum ; 1/3 flights although i started using up some of those miles for upgrades.
Then again really all depends on route and how full Y and J are. My main routes are AUH-MNL and AUH-CDG.
For the most part i buy Y tickets.
