Cheaper CLEAR Membership for Alaska Airlines Frequent Flyers

All Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members will receive a $10 discount when registering for a CLEAR Plus membership for the first time through CLEAR’s website.

For those who are unfamiliar, CLEAR Plus gives you access to express security lanes at more than 100 airports across the U.S. Thanks to CLEAR’s “secure digital identity,” you can forget all about waiting in line to show your I.D. to TSA staff. Instead, you’ll use biometrics like finger prints or facial recognition to establish your identity, and these security lanes can be much faster than the general line for other travelers.

The $10 discount is also available when Alaska MVP, MVP Gold, MVP Gold 75k, and MVP Gold 100k members renew existing memberships.

CLEAR increased its membership fee to $209 earlier today, so Alaska Mileage Plan members can use the $10 discount to knock it back down to $199.

Mileage Plan members who take advantage of this offer will also be rewarded with bonus miles. There’s no stated end date to this offer.

MVP, MVP Gold, MVP Gold 75k, and MVP Gold 100k members will receive a 1,500-mile bonus if they’re enrolling in CLEAR Plus for the first time and 1,250 bonus miles if they’re renewing an existing membership.

Hot Tip:

Remember, you can get a CLEAR Plus membership for free with certain credit cards, including The Platinum Card® from American Express. It gives you a $199 statement credit to cover the cost of a CLEAR Plus membership each year, among many other benefits. With the increase in CLEAR’s membership fee, Amex should increase its statement credit benefit to match.

Final Thoughts

An ongoing partnership between CLEAR and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plus program means that all frequent Alaska flyers will be able to pass through the airport more quickly and with less hassle at a discounted price. On top of that, bonus miles are available for travelers with elite status.
