More often, I am paying more attention to regular precheck line and using it when CLEAR is backed up. Finding it less and less a true benefit, but as others have said, as long as United keeps paying for it....

However my Clear experience is about to end. As a Plat I got first year free but then $109. With the often reported PreCheck being just as fast and id checks may, maybe not, the value proposition was getting more and more questionable. But with the fee increase for Plats to $149, I'm done. Back to PreCheck.
Yeah on regular-pre line often being as fast or faster, I have noticed that too. Seems like EWR is especially prone to people mindlessly filing into CLEAR while there are only a handful of people in the regular line.
