PreCheck is great, but CLEAR is amazing.

Once upon a time, PreCheck lines were always short, but that’s no longer a guarantee. With PreCheck these days you may be able to walk right up to security or you may need to wait 20 minutes.

CLEAR allows you to skip to the front of the line. If you have PreCheck you can skip to the front of the PreCheck line and if you don’t have PreCheck you can skip to the front of the regular line.

You don’t need to take out your ID either, your fingerprint or eye act as your ID.

Quote
The dependability that skipping the line gives you is simply amazing. It means I can leave my house 55 minutes before a flight and know that I won’t miss my flight out of CLE. When I’m with my family I’ll leave plenty of time and enjoy the airport lounge, but if I’m solo, the less wasted time in the airport is always a win.

CLEAR also works for sports stadiums which is a nice bonus on top of skipping the lines at the airport.

A full list of CLEAR locations can be found here. www.clearme.com/where-we-are

More locations are being added thanks to CLEAR’s new partnership with United. Locations will soon be added in United hubs like Chicago, Houston, and Newark.

In NYC that means you will be able to use CLEAR at LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, Westchester County, Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, and Madison Square Garden.

You can signup for CLEAR here and get a code for 2 months free. https://fave.co/32XZZSX

Normal pricing for CLEAR is $179/year, but if you link your Delta or United mileage number you will pay $119/year.
www.clearme.com/partner/delta
www.clearme.com/partner/united

The Amex Green card offers a $100 annual statement credit for CLEAR, which is great. That lowers the cost of membership from $119-$109 to just $19-$9/year depending on the United/delta card you have. $9/year for Delta or United cardholders/elites or from $19/year for non-cardholders or non-elite members.

Delta Diamond/360 and United 1K/Global Services elites get CLEAR for free!

A CLEAR member can add up to 3 adult family members for just $50 each.

Kids under 18 can go with their parents for free without a membership or biometrics required.

CLEAR isn’t cheap, but if it helps you make a flight that you would otherwise miss due to a long line then it will be worth its weight in gold.

That's the supply.
Demand depends on the Supply
meaning if there is more supply availability, the demand will be less.

I don't think that any of that is correct. If anything, more supply will create lower prices which might increase the demand.

But regardless, the number of cards offering the credit is still the supply side.

And your math is wrong also. 9X something is 900% more, not 90% more (90% more would not even be double).

Clear  = 1 CC
GE     = 10+ CC

90% more demand for the clear.
Faulty logic. More people will pay for Pre/GE because it's far more useful and lasts much longer than Clear.

I'm not great in numbers so let's keep it simple the clear credit isn't available as widely as GE causing the price to be higher then GE.

Not necessarily, only if the demand is there.

To explain via reductio ad absurdum, let's say that only a rare single credit card offered free advanced screening at Pyongyang International Airport (in North Korea), would you say that the purchase price for that would be higher than GE because it is much more rare? Of course not, because the interest in such a product would be exceedingly low. This is just to show that just because one item is more rare than the other, it doesn't make it more valuable.

Sure, but odds are there will be CLEAR demand here.

Does anyone have experience how it works if someone had the trial or paid membership that expired, do they need to redo biometrics if they renew there membership?

As I understand, one membership is $109 for a DL Skymiles member, and then that member can add another relative for $50. Can half the credit be used for a family membership, or it is one charge per card, regardless of the amount?

Good question, I doubt anyone knows the answer though unless it's somewhere in the terms.

As @Dan said you don't. ALSO, "expired" memberships revert to a "basic" membership which will still work at sports stadiums - so the free trial is great for that too.
