Effective May 19, 2022 Platinum Card Members can now earn up to $189 (increased from $179) in statement
credits per calendar year when they use their Platinum Cards to pay for the annual CLEAR membership.
Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on the Card Account are eligible
for statement credits. However, the total amount of statement credits for eligible purchases will not exceed $189
on the Card Account per calendar year. We are also changing the Benefit Name to $189 CLEAR Credit.

I just got the CLEAR renewal notice - way too high (added spouse last year and that was covered by Biz Plat with Skymiles discount).
I currently have 2 Biz Plats.
Thinking to drop spouse, my renewal would then be covered by Plat on file.
Then change card, add spouse after.
Annoying, but tis what it is.

Correct. If you don't have status or a credit card (Delta or United), but are a base program member, it would $179+99 for 2 adults. So $278, minus the $189 credit it is net $89 cost. Net $59 if you have one of those cards.

I just noticed that my personal consumer Amex Platinum card has 48 benefits, whereas my wife's only as 36. One of the remaining 12 appears to be Clear? 👀
Added: She quit the Amex app and started it up again, and suddenly all of the benefits were there, Clear shows enrolled and even reimbursed. That was odd.
