I agree with those posters above. I was Silver in 2015 and 2016 and the one time it really mattered was IROPs. I was at SFO flying to ONT and it was one of those awful weather days at SFO so everything was delayed. I managed to standby on an earlier flight but after everyone boarded it was decided we were now overweight. Four people were pulled off, I wasn't. Premier Silver saved me that day.
