I think it could work...but you'd have to be more vocal about what you're doing.. I think if you just slipped in a $20 between your ID and credit card, they'd probably think you included it by...

Did you ask for a specific upgrade? Or did you just slip the $20?
Knowing what kind of an upgrade you want, helps.

Excellent, good for you! Was it a 5 star luxury hotel, cause that's what I was talking about? Though an extra $20-$30 is likely a welcome perk for any poor desk clerk in this economy.

Give the guy who takes your bags up to the room a $20 bill or give it to the people who are checking you in at the same time you're paying for the room to try to get a cheap upgrade.
