But the way CLEAR works: pax NEVER have to show an AGENT a bp or their id--why shouldn't this work for EVERYONE
? = speeding up the security check. The "real" answer is $179 vs $0.

Report; DEN 5/22
Co-worker in PreCheck - 15 min to clear vs 40 min on regular non precheck line - yes had one person who was hosed there. Clear - 30 sec through and in the front of Pre line.

For me clear was definitely no gain in SEA and SFO, except for one occasion. On that occasion I walked 5 minutes to the other end of the terminal and found another Pre line without a wait (I did have the clear trial, but I also had time to kill and wanted to compare).
I don't really fly at peak times, which is probably why this is the case for me. YMMV.

Just a DP...you don't even have to go through Delta to get the $99 annual rate...was on my CLEAR account page, clicked on 'Cancel Membership,' at which point there's a series of 'why are you canceling?' multiple-choice questions--selected 'membership is too high'--got a pop-up offering the $99 annual membership--of course if you have any status/CC w/Delta it's cheaper, but just wanted to share

This is what I see pretty much every time I visit SFO, though regular lines in T3 aren't quite as bad as DEN. Though international can get quite hairy.

Has anything changed in the last year and I just missed it? BTW: is PRE and Clear on both sides of the DIA screening downstairs and in the A bridge?

Hasn't it been a year since DIA admitted they needed to address the screening issues (e.g. lack of space for more lanes): http://www.denverpost.com/2016/06/13...-tsa-concerns/

PRE and CLEAR are not available on the A bridge.
Here's a question... do they still require you to show your BP at TSA in DEN?

CLEAR helped with the long Pre line at BWI D/E this morning, including two people in front of me who tried to go through the WTMD with their phones -- one in the middle of a call, then put her phone on the belt by itself, then tried to reach in and retrieve it to put it in a dish
Data point: had to rescan BP for TSA.

Awesome, thought it was a fluke on this last year when I got the same, coming up in Aug for a renew and just did this and it said in a few days my account will update to reflect the next renew at $99 (was showing standard $179) - I'm fine paying 99 a year for this or less but $179 is a bit steep

Do you have a cancel link when you login to your account? I see nothing when logged into mine. My membership expires at end of August and I have auto-renew off, for what it's worth.

Now for the better question - has anybody had experiences renewing with a change in Delta status? I was able to get a free membership last year with DL Diamond. This year status has dropped down to Plat. I'm curious if they validate annually or how that process works.
If I end up having to pay, looks like I'm still better off with the DL Plat $79 rate.

As a reminder, your membership renews in 30 days. Unless your SkyMiles Medallion® Status changes before that time, your CLEAR membership will continue to be complimentary as a part of your Diamond Medallion Benefits.
If your Status does change in the next 30 days, you will be charged based on your Status at the time of renewal on [my renewal date]. We look forward to seeing you soon.
