Silver gives access to the business check-in queue (and boarding, I think), and access to the lounge. Which doesn't sound like much, but when you have a long layover or delay (like I had in Washington last year), that might prove useful. I actually qualified for Silver shortly before that trip, but since I had flown only weeks before, the cards didn't arrive in the post until after my departure. Bummer - I my flight was delayed by 7 hours!
