The same thing happened to me today. Got Zone 5 as a 2P/Silver. Also interestingly noticed that the gate agent never called Star Alliance Silver for preboarding (the same gate agent had always called Star Alliance Silver after the Golds every week for the past 3 months on the same route)

It's a *G benefit "where available". But for *S, not. Of course some *A carriers can do it anyway if they want to.

Charging for exit row
Hi,
Was able to catch an earlier flight being silver preferred. However GA wanted to charge me for exit row. He said it was new for silver. Is this true? I had exit row on my original flight. I am flying on miles.

From website re Silver Preferred ...
You’re able to reserve the best seats, including those in the front of the aircraft and exit row.

That is what I understood. However computer would not let him do it. Showed a fee of $36.00. Thank you for looking in to it for me.

I checked with an employee and their information conflicts. In some areas, it says "preferred" get the exit seats fee waived, in other areas it says "Chairmans, Platinum and Gold Members" get the exit seats fee waived. Sounds like this is coming down the pike, which is quite a smack in the face to Silver preferreds.
