CLEAR currently has a new promotion together with United Airlines where new subscribers earn a $100 United Travel Bank credit, combinable discounts for United members and Amex credit.
This offer is for the first 10,000 people who sign up under this campaign by September 9, 2021 and the Travel Bank funds will be deposited and can be used directly through the United Airlines website under your account.
CLEAR has also a popular relationship with American Express and what makes this promotion especially lucrative is that you can combine it with both American Express credits (free for Platinum, $100 credit for Green and targeted offers for Gold).
You can access the landing page for this offer here.
Now through September 9, 2021, the first 10,000 MileagePlus members who sign up for CLEAR will earn $100 in United® TravelBank cash, in addition to two free months of CLEAR. You’ll also unlock your special membership rate after the trial. That means you’ll save time and money on your late-summer getaway – but only if you sign up soon. Terms and conditions apply. Enroll today to experience a faster, safer, touchless way to travel.
Keep in mind this offer can be withdrawn (finished) at any time considering their language of “only 10,000 customers” so earlier is better.
United Airlines Mileage Plus members also profit from preferential pricing:
This represents a $50-$60 discount over their regular rates.
American Express Platinum Card holders (U.S.) now get the entire $169 fee waived. Of course for this United offer you need to sign up with a United account in order to get the $100 deposited into your Travel Bank.
Amex also has the following offers for Green & Gold card holders:

Reader Question: How Does The American Express Green Card Credit For CLEAR Work?
So with this Amex credit not only can you get a free CLEAR membership but in combination with the United offer another $100 travel credit is also coming your way.
I really like CLEAR at the airports where it’s available and just in the last month have used it like a dozen times. It can often be a life saver depending on how late you are for your flight and the CLEAR representative walks you to the front of the pre-check line. However if you don’t have pre-check on your boarding pass then you still have to go through the regular procedure.
Conclusion
CLEAR has brought out a new offer where you can get a $100 United Travel Credit when signing up for a new account. The card will be charged after the two month free trial, assuming that’s when the United credit will be applied as well.
Keep in mind that CLEAR can only be used with a U.S. government issued Identification so a foreigner can’t use it with just a passport. You need a drivers license or state ID to sign up.
Clear must be desperate. I still don’t see any value at all in membership, especially when comared to TSA Pre or Global entry, which are cheaper and much more available. My home airport doesn’t even have clear, and I’ve seen consistent reports on clear being closed outside of core travel hours.
I have Global Entry and CLEAR isn’t even at my home airport. Signed up because it’s basically a $100 profit and I will use the UA flight credit. Otherwise, I agree… I find it next to worthless.
They walk you in front of the pre-check line which can be massive considering every shepherd and his dog has Pre these days.
Ugh, I just signed up for Clear almost 2 months ago…
