Welcome to FT!
If you have a US (Dividend Miles) account, then all miles will stay with US, meaning if DM and AAdvantage merge, all your miles will be in the merged OW account. It doesn't matter where you originally got the miles.

Likely nothing. If they were flown on *A and credited to US, they'll probably stay there. I can't envision US going and clawing back miles because they were flown on a *A carrier during which time US was a member.

Hello Everyone!
I will be flying from CPH-OSL connecting onto a UA flight to EWR in late August. As a star silver in CPH will I be able to use business class check-in? I know as a silver I'm not "officially" allowed but eurobonus silver members appear to be entitled to the benefit, I'm just wondering if any other star silvers have had any luck trying.
Best,

No. J class check-in is a *G benefit.
However, many *A carriers allow their own *S to check-in at the J check-in. For example, AC allows AC*S to use the J counters. UA is the most liberal about it though. All *A*S can use the Premier Access counters (along with those with cash to flash).

I'm UA Silver and have no idea what the following means:
4 x 500 Mls Cert @ 10k Q on UA
would be converted to 500 mls if signed up in the past
Is that something from the past? If not, please shed light.

*A Silver - Peanuts maybe?
Flying AC to LHR via DUB - UA just status matched my US Silver to UA Silver which is great (so I can keep benefits w/*A), but now realizing that on partner carriers (flying AC), *A Silver means absolutely nothing re check-in / bags / upgrades/ seats or priority boarding. Can someone confirm - anything I can look forward to? Oh, btw, seems same with the EI code share DUBLHR...

UA 1K - *G - Lufthansa Seating
I am scheduled to return from LHR to SFO via FRA on LH. I called LH and asked for a seat assignment and they told me that I can't have one because they now charge for special seating. I informed them about the fact that I am *G and was told there is no special benefit for that. I am appalled by that - how can Star even call itself an alliance?
Seriously if you fly a * carrier and are not ticketed on a 016 ticket then it doesn't count towards PQDs on UA. And now there are no benefits in terms of seat assignments either.
I think these alliances are slowly but surely becoming worthless.

*A has been about reducing competition. You get lounge access, miles, extra bag, priority on standby. Nothing else has ever been promised, and if it was offered, it was a gratuity at best.

I note a problem with both the Gold and Silver charts in that the qual and requal for NZ*S and NZ*G both refer to Aus residents as having a lower status credit requirement, which is not the case. The status credit requirement for AUS and NZL are the same.

Not sure if this is the right spot for it, but I didn't travel much last year so got bumped *S from *G. I am about to do a mammoth trip with lots of layovers and I am wondering about getting a priority pass for lounge access. Is there anywhere a list of *S lounges somewhere?

No such thing as *S lounges I'm afraid, some programs (e.g. LH) allow their *S into some business lounges that are directly owned and operated. However no access for other *S.
You're probably SOL.
