Hi Zedman,
The check-in staff is ordered not to give upgrades (even for TP employees), unless there is a previous note that indicates that the person (staff or not) is eligible for an upgrade.
The trick is; wait until you go onboard and then, politely, introduce yourself to the flight's supervisor. Most of the times this will work and you will be given an upgrade, if there is seats available.
Regards,
Alves
