When I signed up, I did so for two reasons.

2- They guaranteed no SSSS at the time.

Once I got SSSS'd twice in the same itin, I cancelled my membership, and surprisingly got a full refund.

Now I live in SJU which has AA elite lines

Clear was a huge waste of money (up front), my time (waiting in line at the airport once I passed their background check), and my vision (holding my eyes open for the retinal scan was not a fun experience, especially when it took like 6 attempts to get a scan).
