We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    United Airlines is taking a step to help make your airport experience a bit smoother by partnering with CLEAR to bring it’s expedited security program to all of United’s hubs. CLEAR is already available at 30 airports nationwide as well as select sporting venues and Hertz car rental locations.

    As a result of this partnership, by the end of this summer CLEAR will be available at two new United Airlines hub cities – Newark and Houston. Also, by the fall of 2019 CLEAR will be available at Chicago’s O’Hare airport.

    I have Global Entry which includes TSA PreCheck benefits, so I have little need for CLEAR. If breezing through airport security is on your wishlist, Global Entry is the way to go because it’s exponentially cheaper than CLEAR and you can get your Global Entry or TSA PreCheck fee reimbursed with the right card.

    A CLEAR membership normally costs $179 per year, but United MileagePlus members have an opportunity to get a free or discounted membership.

    You can get a free membership if you have either of the following United Airlines status levels:

    You are eligible for a discounted $109 CLEAR membership if you have:

    The cost of a CLEAR membership for all other United MileagePlus members is $119. United’s MileagePlus loyalty program is free to join and you can read this post for step-by-step instructions on how to set up a United Airlines account.

    If you qualify, you can take advantage of your CLEAR discount from United by registering through this link.
