Is CLEAR worth it? ✈️

I've had a CLEAR membership for almost two years now, and overall, I think it's been worth it.

The biggest advantage for me is when I'm running late to the airport. If the security lines are backed up, CLEAR has saved me more than once by getting me through the identity check much faster. That extra time can make all the difference when you're cutting it close.

That said, it's definitely not perfect. CLEAR isn't available at every airport, and even when it is, it may only be offered in certain terminals. The cost can also be hard to justify if you only travel occasionally. I usually take a few trips a year—not every month—and I still find enough value in it to keep my membership.

One perk I recently took advantage of was enrolling in TSA PreCheck through CLEAR. Since I already had a CLEAR membership, the enrollment process was quick and convenient compared to the traditional route.

I also know some premium credit cards, like The Platinum Card® from American Express, will reimburse the cost of a CLEAR membership, which can make the value proposition even better if you already carry one of those cards.

Now I'm curious...
