Forgot about that. I remember reading about it, but I've never seen it offered on flights I've booked (all out of PHL). But now that I read up on it, it's just a bundled fare that adds Main Cabin Extra, free checked bag and group 5 boarding for no additional fees. Well, no more than the additional "fee" that they tacked onto the fare. It still wouldn't expedite the checkin or TSA process.

And as a Gold, the OP would have already had those benefits *AND* be able to board in group 4. They just would have had to wait until T-24 hours before flight to try to get an MCE seat. To each their own....
