For the past few months I've quietly been building something and it's finally live: https://eliteforcheap.com - 100% built with Claude Cowork Opus 4.8. I did use Fable to look for security flaws :). Let me know what you think :) -------
If you've ever wanted American Airlines elite status without flying yourself into the ground to get it — this one's for you.
American will happily sell you status (their Gold Pass is $5,000). But you can earn that same status through hotel stays you'd take anyway — the right AA Hotels stay earns up to 10× Loyalty Points. Stack a handful and you're at Gold for roughly $1,000–$1,500 in real stays instead of $5,000.
The hard part has always been finding which hotels hit that rate, on which dates, out of thousands. That's what EliteForCheap does — finds the highest Loyalty-Points-per-dollar stays and ranks them, every one verified bookable.
If you know someone chasing status this year, tag them or share.
