Plus $$

It's no longer possible to trade up in size without additional cost. Our only previous exchange was in 2009 when we got a 2 bedroom at MacDonald Villacana in Estepona Spain for our SA studio at the base exchange fee.

I had to pay $209 for the one bedroom we've booked in Dunedin FL using the same SA studio. The Gold Membership did nothing for me IMHO:(.

The upgrade fee has been around for at least a year and I think a little longer.

You did get a 10% discount on your exchange and the upgrade fee but if you only use them once every 5 years I don't think you'll get much value out of being Gold.
