So i think it should be no problem. But I have no idea of how the checkin agents in MEL are trained, they might double check this and follow the fules strictly.
Only someone with good knowledge of TG's MEL checkin personell could say anything more certain about this.

It is not *S benefit, but most of the member programs have it, so I would guess that checking agents take it as if all *S had it. For example, my Miles & More Silver has total of 40kgs plus they will carry free one golf bag (15 kg max). Detail is here https://www.miles-and-more.com/onlin...en&cid=1000182
