The cost of CLEAR Plus is going up to $209 in July, but if you have the right card in your wallet, you don't need to stress about it.

Over the past 3 years, CLEAR has expanded significantly, adding 45 new lanes and entering 19 more airports, increasing its presence by nearly 50% across the U.S.

CLEAR also introduced face-first EnVe Pods, which speed up verification and help over half of the members clear the line in under 2 minutes. Looking ahead, the company is piloting touchless eGates, allowing travelers to simply scan and go — no ID or boarding pass needed.

These enhancements reflect CLEAR’s ongoing push to modernize the airport experience — and help justify the upcoming price increase.

We break down the price hike and how to still skip the TSA line without paying out of pocket.

Luckily, American Express is increasing its statement credit to match the hike for select cards, helping many cardholders avoid extra costs. If you travel often, using an eligible Amex card or signing up before July 1 can save you money while still enjoying CLEAR’s benefits.
