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.

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

New cards will be added to the tool along with any already existing entries. When adding more than one card to a column, there will be no selected cards for the column (as in, you will have to select which cards you'll use for each category manually).
