The short answer
CLEARME.COM is the annual renewal of CLEAR Plus, the airport security fast-lane membership — about $199/year. Free trials from credit cards and one-off airport signups convert to full-price annual renewals.
Why it shows up like this
CLEAR enrolls travelers in person at airports (often with a trial) and renews annually by default. A membership tried once before a single trip bills the full annual fee a year later — the classic CLEARME.COM surprise.
Don’t recognize it? You might still
- The airport signup was a year ago, possibly under time pressure at a security line.
- A credit-card or airline perk covering CLEAR lapsed, shifting billing to your card.
- Family member add-ons renew alongside the primary membership.
What to do, in order
- Check membership and billing at clearme.com The account shows renewal date, tier, and any family members attached.
- Ask about the refund window CLEAR support can cancel and often prorate or refund recent renewals on request.
- Check your credit cards for covered membership Several premium cards reimburse or cover CLEAR — you may be paying for something a card would cover.
Quick questions
I signed up during one trip. Why $199 now?
