If you're not yet a member, now might be a good time to join if you're interested in earning some airline miles for doing so. Right now, new members can earn up to 1,500 Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, several airline elite status members and certain credit cardholders can get a free or discounted CLEAR+ membership.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we break down the ways to get CLEAR+ for free, current enrollment promotions, and how to save on your membership if you don\u2019t qualify for a complimentary one.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Is_CLEAR\">What Is CLEAR?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>CLEAR is a paid security service that uses biometric data to verify your identity at airports. Instead of waiting in standard TSA security lines, you scan your fingerprint or eyes at a CLEAR kiosk and are then escorted to the front of the TSA checkpoint.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, CLEAR speeds up the security process significantly. However, there are occasional instances where the CLEAR line may be longer than <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/expedited-airport-security-programs\/\" rel=\"noopener\">TSA PreCheck<\/a>. But, my own experiences with CLEAR at the Denver and Seattle airports were fantastic, as I was (somehow) the only person in the line both times. Like all things in travel, your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_135961\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-135961 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CLEAR-woman-at-kiosk-featured-300x240.png\" alt=\"A woman scans here irises at a CLEAR kiosk\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CLEAR-woman-at-kiosk-featured-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CLEAR-woman-at-kiosk-featured-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CLEAR-woman-at-kiosk-featured-325x260.png 325w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CLEAR-woman-at-kiosk-featured.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: CLEAR<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>Currently, CLEAR kiosks are available at over 50 U.S. airports.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-884\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-884 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Airport<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">City<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Austin\u2013Bergstrom International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Austin, TX<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Baltimore\/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Baltimore, MD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Birmingham, AL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Boise Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Boise, ID<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Boston Logan International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Boston, MA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Bradley International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Hartford, CT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Buffalo Niagara International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Buffalo, NY<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Chicago Midway International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Chicago, IL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Chicago O'Hare International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Chicago, IL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Cincinnati\/Northern Kentucky International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Northern Kentucky (Cincinnati), OH<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Cleveland Hopkins International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Cleveland, OH<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Dallas Love Field Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Dallas, TX<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Dallas\/Fort Worth International Airport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Dallas, TX<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Daniel K.
