Probably not real gold. There is a process that Moen Faucets uses that is a propritary process that looks like polished brass and is called "Lifeshine".

My wife got a Snap On ratcheting hard handle as a 5 star dealer bonus working at a Dodge dealer. She had a choice of what she could get and I told her to get the SO ratcheting screwdriver. It has SO on one side and the other says 5 star on it. I lost it recently but if I find it I'll post a picture. Honda never gave as **** except this one time when I got a crappy chinese dial indicator to measure scratches on CNG fuel tanks and a bottle of leak detection fluid when I completed the CNG training. Funny all Honda special tools for measurement were nice until they handed them out to techs and then they got cheap. When I worked for Saturn for a short time I got a window regulator tool made by OTC for removing them. It looks like a smaller brake piston tool.

I could use it to work BUT I just put it on shelf at home as proud of myself to complete that training..
I've gotten a few gold tools through the years, they aren't always 'tools' though. The last one I got (last year) was a Carhartt jacket with the Master Tech logo on it.
In the late '90s, there was a multitool that I got; one of the Snap On mini boxes; in around '02 I got a Snappy multimeter; I got a 6 cell mag lite; one year I opted to get a Snap On pistol grip pliers. I also have a Snappy electronics screwdriver set. I could probably dig a few of these up. Loaned the meter to my Dad and never saw it again, I'd sure like to have it back.

I have done time with most of the major brands. (except Honda) Chrysler was the only one that actually awarded a trophy for advancement.
G.M. tried a really weak program, that involved a "single" Goodwrench branded wrench.(not available to the public at the time) It was short lived, to say the least.
Toyota offers a point program,(with certification levels) that you can exchange for premiums. SnapOn gift certificates, small appliances, blah blah.
I have been with Ford for about 7 months, so any rewards/awards programs are still unknown at this point. When I was doing Ford back in the 80's, they had parts and service "MVP Rallies". It was a night of food, drink, and a plethora of give-aways. Those were the days

ford now uses a points system for reaching master/senior master. the point's can be used to buy rotunda tools or clothing.
man, i remember those MVP rally's..........a cardinal game and lot's of beer
they used to give things like thermos's and pocket knives for completing CTP booklets as well.
