It seems everyones favourite Star Alliance member (not not BMI for once), is once again offering status for anyone who wants it.
US Airways is offering in conjunction with Budget a 90 trial of Silver Preferred Status, on condition that your first buy a non refundable ticket for travel within the USA from them. To maintain Star Silver, you’ll need to fly 10 US Airways segments or 7500 miles flown on their metal.
Which can be quite painful if travelling with US Airways as I’ve noted in the past….
The obvious beanie of being a Star Silver in the USA is the complete cut of baggage fees (which can add up considerably), and also pops you further up on the list if something goes wrong.
Also, if you’ve taken part in a Preferred trial in the past 24 months, don’t bother, as they’ll reject the status request.

Happy Matching!
