Is Hilton Gold status worth it?

If you don't plan on staying at Hilton properties at least once per year, it's not worth obtaining Gold or Diamond status, even if you're just getting it through a credit card. It may also not be worth it if you typically stay at limited-service properties where upgrades are unlikely and breakfast is free to all.
