Where can I purchase day passes to lounge for cheap?
I'm flying to NY from FLL with long stops in between. Flight have been purchased for upcoming December. I was wondering where I can get some day passes for the lounge for cheap instead of paying $50 bucks at counter or signing up for a credit card.
I used to have a USAirways credit card six years ago and they would give me two day passes per year free. Do they still do that and do people sell their day passes?

you get one per year with the credit card. You can also buy them when purchasing your ticket, it will give you an option online. I believe its$25 but i could be wrong.

On here after you're a member for awhile and have contributed there is a section called Coupon Connection where people trade and sometimes even Give away things like this. If someone has a soon to expire pass and won't use it they often will use this to not let it go to waste. Contribute and you'll be rewarded with access. As your travel is not until December you have time.
OR they have a 90 day pass that is $120 bucks so if this a RT at the $50 one day access pass you'd pay $20 more to have access if you travel again within that 90 day period. Not as attractive as cheap but it would open you to more access.

The credit card day passes come with the cardholder's name printed on them. If you were to buy them from someone (which can't be arranged on Flyertalk; you can trade once you've had enough time and posts to get access to Coupon Connection) it's not guaranteed that they'll be accepted. Some agents are quite strict on this.

$99 membership plus $27 per visit. Or $249 all in for 10 annual visits.
Alternatively, if you have Am Ex Plat, call them. Priority Pass membership is included.

If you watch eBay, you will occasionally see these pop up for 20 bucks or so.

There's also the Skyguide Executive Privilege Club (not joking about the name...).
It's an Amex Publishing thing, but the important part is that the first year of membership is something like $20 and then something like $40 in later years, and they reimburse club day passes to any airline club up to $50 per pass and up to 12 times per year.
It's what I've been using for a while when the layover is worth burning 1/12 of a year's supply, but given the EQM offer now and the *A Club access that the US Club membership offers, I might be moving away from it.

I got it as a targeted option from Amex as a mailer, and it was $3 for 2 months and then $30 for the next 12. I'm good until May, but if it hits $199, then there's almost no argument against either Club membership or Amex Platinum.

Where is the OP's "long stops in between"? If it's at DCA, you can buy a United Red Carpet Club pass for $39, it's accessible from the US gates via the shuttle bus. They are always available for $39 online at united.com/rcc
