1 starIve been a member since 2017. This service is getting worse the longer its around. Very inconsistent directions between locations. Doesnt save time nowadays. I will not be renewing. Cant say enough bad about it at this point.Review fromBill Z

1 starMay I have a suggestion? Could you please fire all the clear staff in ***********? I was going to general boarding and blocked by your staff. She kept me from boarding and enforced me to do registration and use clear service. I nearly missed my flight!I had to made excuse and say, I registered once before to get rid of her. If this is how you CLEAR play the game, no registration or not allowed to go general boarding, you are in big trouble now. I will write everywhere regarding this nasty experience. Who gave her right to block the passenger from boarding?The CLEAR staff at *********** is very rude, very unprofessional, very nasty. And all of them should resign. And I request a formal ********** wondering why you are F in BBB. And I will never use CLEAR since your very rude harassment at the airport.Review fromTHOMAS M

1 starSame story as a lot of the reviews I read. Was coerced into signing up while being told it was free. Got a $200 charge just a few weeks later. Luckily my creditor flagged it as fraud and did not authorize it. This service is also mostly redundant if you have TSA Pre check. Selling a pointless service, under false pretenses, targeting people they know are in a hurry and wont question them much. This goes beyond scamming, these folks are running a criminal enterprise at this point.Review fromJerome M

1 starWe got redirected by an official-looking lady at the ***********, who made us fill a few screens to "skip the line". She NEVER mentioned a paying membership. Two weeks later, we noticed on our credit card statement a charge of $318, no less. Are you ### kidding me? This is a severe form of SCAM and this was approved by the ***? I should get my money back (I think?), but only because I am vigilant about credit card transactions. Never, ever, trust those ClearMe folks.Review fromDennis R

CLEAR was decent before they did a system upgrade, and it has not worked for me since. Each time I have been told there are CLEAR issues and just use ***. The concept is great, but CLEAR is probably a bad choice to have implemented it. When I complain, I am just told there is nothing they can do.Clear

CLEAR representative pulled my 72 year old mom out of the pre-check tsa line, and scammed her into believing she needed to give her ID and cc to allow her into the pre-check TSA line. She called me confused and the guy already swiped her card on the machine and let her go. She ALREADY has pre-check TSA (not through clear). This is fraud, elderly abuse, and wrong. I am filing a report to the fraud department. It is NOT ok to trick and a person into getting CLEAR. My mom thought they worked for the airport and just ensuring youre in the right line. The airport should not allow these sales tactics to happen.Clear

Summary: My experience with marketing and subscription to this business has led me to believe they operate under Predatory Business and Subscription Trap conditions that are *minimally* within typical legal interpretations. Services were typically as fast as TSA Pre-Check or slightly faster. I *would not* recommend purchasing or gifting this service as the company does not appear to operate with *******************: Advertised to individuals in a rushed/ distressed situation.Subscription: Credit cards, even under gift certificate conditions, are automatically renewed after one year. Upon my enrollment, this was not a highlighted condition. Business *did* send renewal email 1-month in advance and claims to offer 2-month cancelation period. However, as this was an unobserved and the cancellation period information was not available at the time of my instance, this was missed. Further, upon requesting cancelation, business attempts to required multiple cancelation confirmations and cautious subscriber to lost services, then offer reduced rates, then offer additional free months, then *require* reasoning for cancelation.Customer Service: Platform does not appear to offer phone conversation abilities and harness automated response system with controlled options & services. Being connected to an agent to coordinate matters outside of automated services is challenging. Disagreements with agent are **ultimately ignored** while not closing dialog box. Finally, confirming business details such as parent company, registered address, etc is challenging, leading to further concerns of deceptive practices.Clear

This company preys on individuals who are in a rush trying to get through security at airports. A *** will offer you a one-year free trial and then at some point your card will be charged and the trial will not be free at all. By the time you get around to disputing the charge, it will be too late. While waiting in line at *** to get through security, a CLEAR *** approached me, offering me a free one-year trial. As I was in a rush and due to the usual disorientation one experiences at large airports, I agreed. I did not "think" of getting the ***'s name, free trial code, or any sort of proof. My goal was to get through security as quickly as possible, which CLEAR "clearly" took advantage of. This business has unethical business practices and the poorest customer service. I wish there were better regulations of such businesses to protect consumers.Clear
