Here\u2019s an Easy Way to Save on CLEAR+ Memberships"},"content":{"rendered":"

Editor's note:<\/strong> On June 1, 2026, Delta will remove the complimentary CLEAR+ membership for Delta Diamond Medallions and increase the cost to $129 per year.<\/em><\/p>\n

The best part about long lines is being able to skip them entirely. If you're a Delta SkyMiles member or have a co-branded Delta credit card<\/a>, you can sign up for a CLEAR+ membership for less — which makes speeding through airport or stadium security lines more affordable.<\/p>\n

Here's how to use your Delta SkyMiles membership or the Delta card in your wallet to score a discount on CLEAR+.<\/p>\n

What Is CLEAR+?<\/span><\/h2>\n

CLEAR+<\/a> is a program designed to allow you to speed through the line at airport security at dozens of gateways nationwide. You can even use the service at select stadiums and arenas. Ideally, CLEAR can help you get to your seat, a lounge, or the airport concourse faster than regular security would otherwise allow.<\/p>\n

To enjoy these perks, you'll need to sign up for a CLEAR+ membership online. Then, you'll need to complete a retinal scan and fingerprint capture at an enrollment center. And that's it. You're cleared to utilize your expedited security membership.<\/p>\n

What does it cost to sign up for CLEAR+?<\/span><\/h3>\n

A CLEAR+ membership currently costs $209 per year. Adding family members to your plan costs $125 per person. But children under 18 in your household can join the primary member in the CLEAR+ line free of charge.<\/p>\n

If these rates look higher than you might remember, you're correct. CLEAR raised the cost of a Plus membership in July 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But thankfully, if you're a member of the free-to-join Delta SkyMiles program, have Medallion elite status, or carry a Delta American Express card<\/a>, you can save on the sticker price of a CLEAR membership.<\/p>\n

CLEAR offers a trio of discounts for Delta travelers. The final price you'll pay for CLEAR+ depends on what's in your wallet and your elite status. The savings break down like this:<\/p>\n
