Hey, I'm not complaining.
This is correct, even if your just 1 *S in the group you can get free bags for 7 companions on the same PNR I think. The auto check in machines know this by default when you put your number in aslo. In other crazy *S perks on US I was able to check my whole party in at the biz desks and use the priority line for all of us also (only 2 out of 6 had status and at that time it was just BD*S!). It works for UA also!
