VS rarely upgrades and most flights are UC anyhow, I don't get much out of VS FC except for miles that I rarely use.

thanks

VS Gold does not get you much other than
a) clubhouse access if not flying UC
b) extra luggage allowing when flying SQ.
c) extra milage on the VS Flying Club card if you interested to accumulated points for redemption purposes.

If you fly Continental and other Skyteam airlines regularly, getting CO Plat and that would be the better option as it would get you lounge access when flying Skyteam along with priority boarding and check-in.

The original Op already has Delta status so it would be pointless to get status with another SkyTeam airlines
