UA used to allow a checked bag for *S until a few years ago (never had status on UA and was definitely not *G at the time). Not sure when that benefit went away, but I took advantage of it quite a bit at the time. All my other *A flights were TATL/TPAC, so I never needed to know or care about their policies, as I never have more than one checked bag.
