CLEAR Offering Free Six Month Trial

The AMEX green card also give a $100 CLEAR credit per calendar year as well.

I signed up for it, because why not, but it likely will be a long time before the pre check lines are long again so like you say it doesn’t really save much time and in some cases could add time to the process if there is no one in the precheck line.

Does this apply to former CLEAR members who canceled/didn't renew their membership due to the pandemic?

One of the worst "minor" things every thought of is "auto renewal" especially when they say "auto renewal for YOUR convenience". A number of web sites would have made money from me if they didn't have it (I don't mind giving some $ to something helpful). While sometimes you can easily cancel it, other times you actually have to phone (yeah a real phone call) to cancel it.

Anyhow, thanks for the info.

In most airports, even large ones, PreCheck runs very quickly thus avoiding the real need for CLEAR. Admittedly MIA is not one of those airports. One PreCheck entrance for all of D and usually E.

I thought they would have maybe a pandemic rate or even suspend indefinitely(until things return to normal), but they gave no choice, so I cancelled. Now they want to give free 6 months for new people. How about trying to keep current customers? They wouldnt need to give 6 months free...

I kind of hate to encourage more folks to join since getting through fast with minimal others is the big advantage. I have been a Clear member since they began. I was delighted that they gave it another go after the had cancelled the service at one time. One of the problems was not enough locations. Now, there are Clear facilities in most of the airports I fly. I love it. If you value your time and travel often this is a sure bet. I actually paid the full amount and then was refunded 100% because of my status with Delta. I'd be glad to fully pay for this service. The big thing is you don't have to wonder how long the line (and the waiting time) will be. You know you will zip right through.

I was thinking about CLEAR. At SEA, the pre-check lines (pre-Covid) get really long, because so few of the check points actually offer pre check (only 2 out of 5).

Eew. $50 per family member? Not worth $220 annually for a family of 2. I have Amex green, and I don’t think this is even worth $120.

I don't understand why this isn't incorporated directly into Pre-Check by DHS. The technology exists as Global Entry 2.0 with facial recognition is growing.
