I suppose if you're based at a hub airport, per some reports, it may be useful.

For someone who spends ~$20k+ on airfare annually, I would have trouble justifying $100/yr let alone $200/yr.

Am I just being cheap???
Clear at CMH is a joke. Precheck at CMH is often a joke... I've had Clear be beneficial at larger airports like LAX or JFK, but I personally wouldn't have it if I had to actually pay for it. Though if I can get if for "free" through AMEX I don't see a downside.
