I think getting free upgrade and getting E+ seats for Premier Silver status members are quite difficult on popular segments. I have gotten free upgrade 1 time in the last 3 years. I am curious what my chances are getting E+ seats at check-in for international flights... To me those benefits are nice if I get to use them, so I discount those benefits. Now they even reduce free checked luggage to just 1...
