You can do this yourself. Anyone can buy API credits. I literally just did this with my personal credit card using my gmail based account earlier today.

1. Subscribe to Claude Pro for $20 month

2. Separately, Buy $100 worth of API credits.

Now you have a Claude "ultimate" subscription where the credits roll over as an added bonus.

As someone who only uses the APIs, and not the subscription services for AI, I can tell you that $100 is A LOT of usage. Quite frankly, I've never used anywhere close to $20 in a month which is why I don't subscribe. I mostly just use text though, so if you do a lot of image generation that can add up quickly

I don't think you can generate images with claude. just asked it for pink elephant: "I can't generate images directly, but I can create an SVG representation of a pink elephant for you." And it did it :)

That is a good idea. For something like Claude Code, $100 is not a lot, though.
