You can add elite status to one or more columns. This allows you to calculate the extra points you would receive from having status with that program.

If the status is already added, you can update the currency the status is based on by specifying a different currency than what the one in the calculator already has.

NOTE: Elite status is automatically added to the calculator for most credit cards that grant it.
