Clear, the expedited airport security program, is once again offering its users the opportunity to share the benefits of Clear with their family and friends this holiday season. Existing Clear users have been emailed five guest passes that can be redeemed by new users for three months of free Clear Plus membership. This limited offer is targeted to specific Clear users, so it’s important to check your email for a unique code to share.
To share this offer, Clear users can either copy the code from the email or forward the email itself. New users who receive the code can click on “Enroll Now” to register and redeem their three-month trial of Clear Plus. The unique code can be shared with up to five different people, including family members, until Nov. 27, 2023. After the trial period, memberships will automatically renew at a cost of $189 for a yearly membership or $99 for family memberships (primary member account).
Clear is available at 54 U.S. airports, as well as at various stadiums and other large venues. It boasts nearly 19 million members nationwide. As a secure identity platform, Clear utilizes member data, such as fingerprint and iris scans, to streamline the identity verification process during TSA screenings. Clear members have access to a separate security lane with dedicated kiosks, allowing them to bypass the lines where TSA agents typically review IDs. Once a member’s identity is verified, a Clear representative will escort them to the actual security screening area, skipping the lines and saving valuable time. Members who are also enrolled in TSA PreCheck can go directly to the TSA PreCheck line.
In addition to its airport security program, Clear offers Reserve powered by Clear, which allows travelers to book timed entry through TSA security based on their flight departure time. This service is currently available at 20 airports across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Clear membership can be a significant expense, with an annual individual membership costing $189. However, there are ways to save on Clear. Certain credit cards offer reimbursement for Clear Plus membership costs, up to $189 per year. These cards include the Centurion, Green, and Hilton Aspire cards. Additionally, targeted Amex Offers may cover the cost of Clear Plus membership for specific American Express cardholders.
Clear also offers a family plan, which allows members to add up to three adult family members to their primary membership for $99 per person per year. Family members under the age of 18 can use the Clear lane for free when accompanied by an adult user.
Clear has partnered with select airlines to offer special membership rates for their members. Delta SkyMiles, United MileagePlus, and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can access discounted membership rates by linking their frequent flyer accounts to their Clear accounts. Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can even earn bonus miles for signing up for Clear and renewing their membership.
If you weren’t targeted for the holiday promo, there are still ways to enjoy Clear benefits. Existing Clear users can refer friends to the program for a free two-month trial. New users can also access a two-month trial through specific links.
In conclusion, Clear is once again offering its users the opportunity to share the benefits of expedited airport security with their loved ones this holiday season. By redeeming guest passes, new users can enjoy three months of free Clear Plus membership. Clear’s secure identity platform utilizes member data to automate the identity verification process, saving time and bypassing long lines. Clear membership can be expensive, but there are ways to save, such as credit card reimbursements and discounted rates for frequent flyer program members. Whether you’re traveling during the holiday season or any time of the year, Clear can help make your airport experience faster and more convenient.
