It seems highly variable by the property. Last month, I stayed at a Radisson Blue, there was a letter with my name on it along with a heart-shaped hors d'oeuvres waiting for me. It was Valentine of course. I have also received free upgrades and other small gifts (i.e. bowl of fruit, etc) in the past.
I have stayed at other properties and the person in charge at the front desk had no clue what I was talking about or what benefits Gold status entailed.
