As to 1), benefits are described on
*A website and are minimal:
As to 2), varies widely among carriers. some carriers give you access to their own lounges (eg LH, BD). Those that have elite seating on the a/c will usually extend that benefit to their own *S equivalent (eg; e+ on UA).
As to 3), again: varies among carriers. However, many carriers will let *S check-in at premium desks and possibly give you extra luggage allowance or (informally) tolerance. Some might allow priority boarding too.

does this mean I will get lounge access with my DC *S card?
That's the reason why I wanted to start this thread. I wanted to put all efforts for *S together. Maybe we can create a list with every *S account and put together what you can expect at different airline desks (like excess luggage, lounges etc.).
Or does something like this exist?
