I'm new to all the acronyms and would like some guidance on it so I can gain the useful information everyone here is talking about.

This is my account as follows

Mileage Balance: 14,915
MileagePlus Status Level: Member
Year to Date Premier Miles: 12,164
Year to Date Premier Segments: 5

It says the next level is Premier Silver. I usually flight out from EWR to SEA.

What benefits does premier silver get? Is there another way to achieve silver and + status ?

Thank you all in advance.
Silver gives you a free checked bag, boarding group 2, priority check in, complimentary upgrades to first class on domestic flights, and the ability to select economy plus seating.

There is another way to get silver: book one or more flights that would give you 25,000 miles, and and then add the elite/premier maximizer to buy 25,000 elite qualifying miles. But the miles, and cancel the flights. Will cost you a lot more than flying.
