Let me see if this is right. I am travelling to Vegas with a friend in two weeks. I can pay the 200 to try out the preferred silver. We get prefrred seating, and no baggage fees for both of us. He is on my reservation. If we bring a suitcase and golf clubs each, the 200.00 would offset the bag fees, I stand a shot of an upgrade and to top it off. if I fly one more flightof about 2500 miles I get Silver for another year....Is it oo close to get preferred baggae tags and a card to go to the prferred check in line????

Whats the catch

Thanks
