I've only ever done one but that $100 (approx) got me a new experience (EK F Suites on the A380) including a shower at 38,000 feet, it qualified me for lounge benefits (easily $100 of food and drink at Dubai prices) and enabled me to bypass queues at check in and boarding (everyone will value that differently but a healthy benefit for me).

All in all it was worth every penny spent on it IMO.
