Under Advance Search you will find further "Fare preferences" options.

As Premier Silver you have some benefits -- see https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...r/default.aspx.
Premier Silver as far as bags is a single bag for each passenger and E+ seating if available at check-in (but not booking).
You will be in Boarding Group 2 (Premier cabin, GS, 1Ks and Plats will board earlier -- as will Customers with Disabilities, Uniformed Military Personnel and Families with Children age Two and Under.

An F ticket will have 3 bags.

Depending on the card there may be some check bag benefits. Other credit card benefits are no better than Premier Silver benefits.
