An ID is scanned during initial biometric registration. An individual's document (usually a driver's license) occasionally does not scan correctly (worn/faded/scratches/code resolution/etc), so an alternate ID (eg passport) might come in handy at initial biometric registration.
I’m an existing CLEAR member with an annual subscription, can I take advantage of the United preferred pricing for CLEAR?
If your CLEAR account was created or renewed less than 60 days ago, you’ll receive a refund for the difference of what you paid. Refunds normally take 3-5 business days after you add your United MileagePlus number to your CLEAR account.

Most email applications have a "delete" function that will allow you to delete survey emails without actually taking the survey (or even reading the email).

Just got to LAS as part of the mass exodus after a major conference. Must have been a couple hundred people in the pre-check line. Zero people waiting at CLEAR, and I was escorted right past all of them. Nice!

IAD is always a mixed bag for me. Sometimes pre/CLEAR are both empty, or both are busy (last time the CLEAR line was probably 25-30 people deep). DCA I find is almost always light.

So what is the better move at EWR now?
- The Global Services + Pre line
- The Clear + Pre?

I’ve been through 4 times since it opened and have done CLEAR 3X and GS once. If clear is empty I use that. GS is almost always empty anyway. Note that GS and clear use the same ID checker so the Clear folks might go before you.

Might be better off with GS lobby, since it gets a special x-ray conveyer line, and sometimes those are long at ORD.

They will most likely cancel your membership, you will get a pro-rated refund, then immediately sign you back up at the 1K rate.

If you use the elevator from GS reception AND the escort to the head of the TSA line is there to assist, go the GS route. If he’s not there, go CLEAR as the area where the CLEAR and GS lanes intersect is confusing and people get hacked off if you try to get ahead of them as a GS without the escort. If you do not use the GS reception, CLEAR is better but annoying because of the awkward layout.

12/28 PM @ DEN - North checkpoint; no waiting; saved a few minutes over regular PreCheck
1/4 PM @ MCO - B terminal; we were the only ones in the CLEAR area; saved quite a bit of time; interacted with the friendliest CLEAR employee ever; the odd thing is that you have to cut across multiple non-PreCheck lanes to get to PreCheck
I swear Mrs. Swede is a former MIB agent. Fingerprint scans rarely work on her; she had to use the iris scanner both times
