Thrifty Traveler: "With little warning, CLEAR raised its annual fee from $189 to $199 a year effective Aug. 1. It's the second price increase in just over two years – annual fees last went up in May 2022."
"It gets worse for traveling families. CLEAR offers a little-known Family Plan, allowing you to add adult friends and family members to your membership at a discounted rate. But that cost jumped from $70 apiece to $99 just last fall … and now, it increased again to $119 per adult. Children under 18 can still join members in the CLEAR® Plus lane for free."
Points Wire Note:
Fortunately, American Express cards that offer a statement credit for paying for a CLEAR membership will continue to cover the entire cost.
