United MileagePlus Members Can Earn 5K Miles When Enrolling in CLEAR

CLEAR is a service that uses biometrics to help members pass through security queues at airports and stadiums faster than ever. It’s a popular program for savvy travelers who don’t want to wait in long lines.

Now, CLEAR is again offering an exclusive deal to members of United’s MileagePlus loyalty program to earn a nice chunk of miles.

Here’s everything you need to know about this new promotion!

Earn 5,000 United Miles After Signing up for CLEAR

CLEAR is running a promotion where United MileagePlus members can earn 5,000 MileagePlus miles after simply registering for the service and paying the annual membership fee.

Here at Upgraded Points, we value United Airlines MileagePlus miles at 1.3 cents per mile, making this haul worth $65.

You must be a MileagePlus Premier member to qualify. The offer is valid through November 28, 2025, and you must register directly through CLEAR’s landing page to qualify. This offer is not combinable with any other offer. CLEAR says members should allow 6 to 8 weeks after completing the qualifying activity for miles to post to their accounts.

How To Get a Discounted or Free CLEAR Plus Membership

CLEAR recently raised the price of membership from $199 to $209 annually, though there are ways to get a discount.

United MileagePlus Premier 1K members get a discounted membership for $129 annually. Premier Platinum, Premier Gold, and Premier Silver members, as well as United credit cardholders, can join for just $169 annually, while regular members can get it for $199.

If you have Delta SkyMiles elite status, Diamond Medallion members get free membership. Platinum Medallion, Gold Medallion, and Silver Medallion members and SkyMiles credit cardholders get a membership for just $169. Finally, general SkyMiles members can purchase a membership for $199.

Even better, several travel rewards credit cards offer statement credits that can help you get a CLEAR membership for free. Travelers with the Platinum Card^® from American Express, The Business Platinum Card^® from American Express, or the Centurion^® Card from American Express receive an annual statement credit that covers the cost of a CLEAR^® Plus membership.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been putting off applying for a CLEAR membership, this is an excellent time to do so — and earn some extra United miles in the process. Just make sure you register before the promotion ends on November 28, 2025, and before you know it, you’ll have 5,000 extra miles in your United MileagePlus account!
