Interval Gold...worth it for short stays?

Got a promo in the mail with discounted offer. Are fees to book short stays too high to make it worth it? Also, is the inventory decent or generally not worth the search time? I did a search and can't find recent postings here on TUG. Anyone swear by Interval Gold? TIA!

Short stays are decent if you are ok with manually searching. You can't OGS with short stay. You will only find high demand resorts with last minute availability. If you are ok with shoulder season, high demand areas and manual searches it may work out for you. Get up to 2 6 night vacations with one deposit.

You don't have to be gold or platinum to see the short stay inventory. It just won't let you book until you pay to upgrade. Take a look and see if it is inventory that would interest you.
