CLEAR is a technology company that helps with expediting clearing of security at select US airports. The company stores the biometric data of members, allowing them to (typically) skip the ID check, and get straight into the security line. Combined with TSA PreCheck, this is the best setup you can have for clearing security in the US.
CLEAR has just increased the price of its CLEAR+ membership, and it’s the fourth price increase we’ve seen in under four years. Fortunately for those who get a membership through an Amex card, that credit amount is being updated as well, to still cover the full amount.

Keep in mind that several Amex cards offer CLEAR+ credits, and those credits have been updated to reflect the price hike. This means an eligible card would still cover the full $219 membership cost.

Nobody likes price increases, though based on my own experience, CLEAR+ just isn’t worth paying cash for. So if you’re getting a CLEAR+ membership through an Amex card, then there’s no price change, since the membership cost will continue to be covered.
