If you ask them they will probably ask for the full rate, if they ask you they may offer it to you at a reduced rate or free.
Regarding being upgraded (either free or at a discount), my travel agent friend tells me that they generally do it in the order of how much you paid for your ticket.
If you booked your ticket ages ago and paid a high / full price then you will be one of the first to asked or offered.
If, on the other hand you bought it last minute / during a sale / 'buy 1 get 1 free' etc then you really have no chance of getting anything.
The check in people can see what you paid for your flight, and what price bracket you fall under. Economy has several price brackets alone, which is why you may have people sitting next to you that could have paid 20% more or 30% less than you did.
And that is the
general rule. Which is why I will probably never get an upgrade..
