I personally gift Gold status to my wife and select the $200 Delta voucher. Definitely nice to defray the out-of-pocket costs of personal flights and improve our upgrade chances when traveling with my better half. It also helps her on the off chance that she is flying somewhere for a girls weekend or if we are meeting up for a weekend getaway (and I'm flying directly from a work trip). She has also accumulated a nice stash of miles thanks to the 100% bonus and really likes the ability to SDC. Just my two cents...
