Once registered to complete enrollment bring one state approved ID to the enrollment center. You will need a valid, unamended US passport or passport card, US-issued Permanent Resident Card, a valid US driver's license, state-issued photo ID card, or a military ID. Once your identity is verified, they will scan your finger prints and get a picture of your iris.
This process takes about 5-7 minutes and can be done before a flight.
Costs:
Keep in mind Family add-on fee is just $50
You may also wish to peruse this thread in the Trusted Travelers forum: Is CLEAR worth $179 a year? (it goes beyond the question in the title, the answer to which is obviously "no" given the above pricing
)

From their FAQ: "We will honor any time that you have remaining on your CLEAR account. This time will be credited to you once you have reactivated your account."

PreCheck at MSP yesterday was a complete mess, as was the SkyPriority check in area. Everyone in line was grumbling, along with lots of comments about why DL has so many counter positions there if DL won't staff them during busy times. The rest of the airport looked deserted, although the SC seemed to have about the usual number of people and the flights I saw were full.
Yeah, it was Friday early evening, the start of a very long holiday weekend for some, and the first snowstorm of the season.
Please give me CLEAR at MSP ASAP. I'm all signed up with no place to go to avoid these horrible lines that TSA and DL created at MSP when they reconfigured an extremely efficient security setup.

..And to think the $17M could've been put towards automated screening lanes.

Why? Without those new members Clear won't be expanding. Part of the issue has been it's a high price, and it's not even at a lot of major airport. Nor is there any plans for some. People are finding value now that it can actually be used.

The AMEX and Main SM annual charge should be raised -at least for the Gold Amex. The fact that all I have to do is join SM, not fly a single mile and save over 60% makes little sense to me.
AMEX also shouldn't be onesize fits all, they range from a $0 intro to $450/yr. It's stupid to have them all at the same price with such a huge range between them.
And why is the employee discount $99? Might as well obliterate that too as there's no point since I can join SM for the same benefit.
Why not this instead..

I think a good way to keep the lines short at security is to stop giving out Precheck to anyone that didn't pay for a TTN

The big question is this.. Why is the price the same for non status DL AMEX holders as it is for platinum's?

But really, that big of a discount just for signing up for SkyMiles? That's absurd. Yes, DL gets a new email address to start spamming, but if I were a UA or AA loyalist at an airport with CLEAR, I'd sign up for DL to get the discount and that's it. Nothing else there to change anyone's behavior.
DL could get the same benefit (free marketing info) with even a $20 reduction for people wanting the Clear discount, and Clear gets to sell higher priced memberships to those folks.

I kinda want to keep it a secret. Clear is wonderful. I don't smoke, but I like to leave the airport if I have a layover of longer than an hour. I was in DTW. And came back after getting some air last week. The Clear people seemed to be surprised that I was clear. They must not have a lot of us coming through right now. But, I was able to move to the front of a very long pre-check line. Shhhh don't tell.

ATL launches Dec. 15.
The $50/6-month special isn't renewable.
For some reason, sign-ups can take days to register in their system. You can't sign and get your biometrics done in one day.
Clear's fee, of course, is debited instaneously.

Apologies if this is clarified up thread already.
I had CLEAR via a Visa trial a while back, when they were still using the cards. I intend to reactivate when they open up in ATL.
Has anyone reactivated an old membership using the DL promo? Any issues doing this? Do you still need to go and redo the biometrics?

Clear did not work for me this AM in SAT. Nothing like fingers, thumbs or eyes. I think only one machine was working
Do I have to redo the initial process? I was trying to catch an earlier flight or I would have worked on my profile here.

Apparently DL is really pushing clear now. They have a sign in kiosk and a CLEAR member trying to sell CLEAR in the SEA A SC. At least the guy wasn't hawking people like the amex folks do in ATL.

At least with the UK version of GE, you have to show heavy repeat travel to the UK to be admitted.

What? Your comparing entirely different programs. One is for verifying ID at security, the other is for immigration and customs.
