What Is CLEAR?

Our Verdict

At first I was like this deal is insane, but keep in mind you’ll need to go in and give biometric data (I think even to get the discounts). In addition the discounts aren’t that great, I suspect most readers already have free lounge access, but I thought this might be useful in case of excessive guests or helping friends without lounge access but it being $10 off isn’t that useful in a lot of cases. Keep in mind I think this auto enrolls you into a paid membership after the free trial so remember to cancel. American Express Delta cardholders get discounted memberships. They have also had six month free trials previously as well.

CLEAR is desperate, and it shows.

This is a trap.

I don’t think desperate. I heard they just added 1 million new members in less than a year. For a smaller company not bad and asides from LYFT they just partnered with MLB. Not bad for being desperate.

Plus the investment and expansion by Delta. Delta is using their technology for lounge access, boarding, and bag drop. I doubt Delta would be still partnering with them for this if they were failing.

I have an upcoming trip where LoungeBuddy could potentially be useful — but I’m assuming the $10 credits can’t be combined in one booking? I’m not super interested in paying $40 for lounge access out of pocket after a $10 discount, but a free visit would be nice.

dude. the credits are all over the place. u need an excel sheet for that crap. also, i hate how CLEAR just closes whenever they feel like it. its like your typical small asian cafe. u go there and its closed even when their hours say its open. like wtf. or there is one person operating it and they are on break.
