Assuming there are no active discount codes, you might want to consider the citi executive card (
http://www.aa.com/citiexecutive) . For the same $450 that the renewal costs, you get an admiral's club membership as well as a bunch of other perks.
From the price you are paying, I'm guessing that you do not have status on AA in which case, this card will give you almost all of the perks of gold (including Priority AAccess) in addition to your Admiral's club membership.
