I've been offered the Silver card - see below...
My question is simply - Is it worth it? What does Silver Elite Status really give you that's worth having? I could divert maybe 3 or 4 stays per year to Marriott but is there much benefit apart from the obvious miles earning potential. Member-only specials? How special?

marriott silver is nice. you get the 20% point bonus and late check out.
Priority reservations line actually works. The general line can take 10 mins. the gold line has never taken me more than 30 seconds, and the silver line never more than a couple of minutes.
Late check out for me is a huge benefit, and I was never denied late check out as a Silver.
Also, some Marriotts will offer Silver concierge access if you ask for it (although most will not)
Some Marriotts will upgrade Silvers on request, if the rooms are available.
So silver is actually quite nice.
