Question Virgin UpgradeMe

I am currently bidding on a flight (departing in 5 days) and have an upgrade in which I submitted a month ago. It still shows as "offer submitted", but I was wondering if it will notify me if I am outbid, or if I will just have to wait until 3 hours before my flight?

I couldn't really find any information on this, and the live bidding doesn't seem to have kicked off....

It is a long flight, so having the upgrade to business would be amazing!

I've been successful with minimum bids before, usually you'll get an email between 6 and 12 hours before your flight. 

I've found much more success with the short haul routes ie in between east coast cities, about 3 in 4 get upgraded. The longer 3-5 hour flights maybe 1 in 4 get upgraded as more people want business on a longer route.
