I'll be flying CLT-CHS on an US Express flight, CRJ-700 equipment, in Economy. I am Star Alliance Gold (Swiss HON Circle).
Is it possible for me to have seats pre-assigned at the Time of booking? Or can I only get my seat number at check-in?
Thanks

Every passenger, regardless of status, should be able to pre-assign themselves a seat on any US flight. The only time they wouldn't would be if all 'normal' coach seats are occupied and only 'choice' or 'preferred' seats are left. In that case a seat will be assigned to you as the flight gets closer.
When is your flight? How full is it?

The US shuttle flights (between LGA, BOS, and DCA) do not assign seats in coach until check-in. Otherwise you should have no trouble getting a seat assignment in advance. Try calling US directly if you booked the itinerary through another carrier.

The one thing I'd note is that if you're buying this as part of an itinerary on another carrier (e.g., a connection from LH), the other carrier's website may not have the ability to assign the seat on US. In that case, you can call US and have them assign the seat.
The US website may allow you to assign the seat directly, but you may not be able to use your LH confirmation code to do so -- if that's the case, look up the flight by flight number and name.
