Clear just increased its annual price for users by $10
02.08.2024 - 12:48 / thepointsguy.com
As of Aug. 1, the annual price of Clear is up $10 and will now cost $199, per a company spokesperson.
The expedited airport security program is currently available at 58 U.S. airports and can also be used at stadiums and other large venues — the service has more than 22 million members nationwide.
The secure identity platform uses members' biometric data, including fingerprint and iris scans, to automate the identity verification step in the U.S. Transportation Security Administration screening process. Instead of waiting in line for a TSA agent to review their license or passport, Clear members can go through a separate, dedicated security lane with separate check-in kiosks.
With Thursday's price increase, Clear now costs $199 annually, but some cards can cover the cost entirely or at a discounted rate.
American Express confirmed an increased Clear Plus statement of $199 also effective Thursday, specifically The Platinum Card® from American Express, The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, the American Express® Green Card, the American Express Corporate Platinum Card® and the Centurion Card from American Express. (Enrollment is required; subject to auto renewal)
The information for the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, American Express Green Card, American Express Corporate Platinum Card and the Centurion Card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
As of April, Clear users can enroll in TSA PreCheck for a bundled rate of $199. To get that price, travelers must apply for both TSA PreCheck and a Clear Plus Membership on the Clear website. After they complete the process and are approved, Clear will issue a rebate of $77.95.
A variety of airlines offer their frequent flyer members discounted Clear rates.
In addition to the price increase, Clear launched Clear Perks. "[It's] an array of new benefits aimed at enhancing the travel experience," said a Clear spokesperson. "Benefits include services like luggage delivery to home or hotel and recovery of lost items at the airport through Clear Scout, assisted by our ambassadors."
Clear did not respond to a request for more information on the Clear Perks at the time of publication.

I've been to 17 countries and swear by checking a bag when I travel. It's a little luxury that's worth the price every single time.
I consider myself fairly frugal when it comes to travel. I've booked the 6 a.m. flight to save $50 and have flown basic economy more times than I'd care to admit.
