I was a member of the former CLEAR. Did kids get through on that program? I don't recall that being the case but then again I may be wrong. Or is this a new benefit with the revived CLEAR?
I've been offered some sort of extension by CLEAR off my last membership. However since I really don't fly to any of the current airports, it hasn't behooved me to start my clock ticking.
How long do we have to stall on this offer (SPG) before it disappears? I really don't want to use this until it gets to an airport that I frequent such as my home (IAD) or DCA, or LAX

I was a CLEAR member in MCO for the past several years, but now with TSA Precheck at MCO I never use it!

Your clock starts ticking when you next use CLEAR or they open CLEAR lanes at your home airport.

signed up for this program yesterday using the code from the e-mail... $179 charged onto my credit card posted on my amex even though it says they wouldn't charge me until after the 6 month trial
I'm a first time CLEAR user as well, so I'm not sure whats going on. I would be wary about this promotion as it seems to me like they're just fishing for $179 yearly sign ups even though the 6 month trial code goes through

Just so I'm understanding this correctly...you are looking at your AMEX account online and can see a line charge for $179 to your card account?

I'm guessing that the 179 USD is for authorization only, it should dissapear in 2 or 3 business days.

Can you see an actual charge to your AMEX account for $179 from Clear?
