Gold gets you discounts on BFS but not percentage is listed.

Does having both get you a larger discount on seats?
I have some data points as a member of both. Saver Club does save money on BFS. It supposedly does on regular seats too, but as a Gold every seat but BFS shows as free anyway, and not like you can do a dummy booking with Saver Club pricing on extras.

CLT-BNA, discount of $7 on BFS (off of $68).
CLT-MCO, discount of $9 each way (off of about $75)
CLT-LGA, discount of $8 off of $70

Pricing out some that I am not going to buy... PHX-LAS $19 discount off $172 (outrageous!) and $15 off $134 LAS-CLT. FLL-LGA, $8 savings off of $82.

I usually buy at the airport if the line is short (I travel about 3-4 times a month, and have gone to the counter in MSP most recently when flying on Denver Air Connection). But for the $70 for the Saver Club, between buying a couple of tickets online and a few Big Front Seats, even with Gold, I've made back the investment pretty quickly.
