• Can I purchase elite status?

Not currently, however, in some previous years, AA has offered Prepaid Travel Cards (distinct from AAirpass) that carry instant status.

Also, members who hold a Citi Executive AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard receive some, but not all, benefits of Gold status, as well as Admirals Club membership.
