One to add, under the "Other" category, for MS Plus, is 50% discount on the charge for 1 x extra piece of luggage, which only applies for MS flights.
Additionally, having reached the 30 000 miles to attain Silver status, you only need to accrue 15 000 miles, over the course of 2 years from the date of achieving Silver, to retain it, not the 30 000 per years, stated in the chart.

Not sure if this is the right spot for it, but I didn't travel much last year so got bumped *S from *G. I am about to do a mammoth trip with lots of layovers and I am wondering about getting a priority pass for lounge access. Is there anywhere a list of *S lounges somewhere?

Right. I just made *S with OZ and they deposited 2 Business Class Lounge entries, but only good at OZ's ICN lounge apparently..

When did *S get so devalued? I remember getting priority boarding as recently as two years ago, but now it seems I get relatively few benefits across the alliance. Does anyone have any insights into why they reduced the status so drastically?

But this has been the same for years.

*S only provides priority boarding and other "real" benefits on the airline you earned *S with. There is 1 exception to this, United, which still provides all Premier Access benefits to any *S (priority boarding, check-in, security, and baggage handling).
But this has been the same for years.
