The Gold upgrade is worthwhile if you have the time and inclination to purchase multiple Getaway weeks, because of the $25-per-week discount. Otherwise, I see no advantage.

I joined, I won't renew. The discount on getaways was a nice perk when they priced the getaways more reasonably than they do now - in fact we used to use the getaways more than exchanges but haven't for 4 years now.

The other stuff they offer is seemingly pointless after further review.

If you're paying for Hertz #1 Gold, Interval Gold can get you that membership for free. I believe Hertz #1 Gold is a $50 value.

The getaway discounts have been mentioned already. Everything else was just a waste of paper IMO. I won't be going Gold again until I see more benefit to it for me. Since I don't use Getaways and don't have a desire to be a Hertz #1 Gold member (I find better rates with Thrifty, Dollar et... and their prefered membership is FREE), it's a waste of my money.
