The escape is carefully planned.
Clear+ membership now costs $219 annually, with a $50 discount available for TPG readers. Amex Platinum cardmembers can offset the cost with a statement credit. The program allows users to skip TSA lines, but the price hike may be a disappointment for some. The Points Guy’s special offer provides a way to score a discount.
