Update 3/1/22: There is also an offer showing up in the Uber app to get $50 in Uber Cash when you sign up for CLEAR. Interesting for someone who doesn’t fly United. Hat tip to ipod123432
Update 2/8/22: There is also an offer for a $75 Uber credit. Most people will prefer the $100 United credit.
Update 1/16/22: Deal is back and valid through February 9, 2022.
Update 8/29/21: $100 credits posting, even for those who did not yet finish the CLEAR signup process by going to the airport.
The Offer
- Now through September 9, 2021, the first 10,000 MileagePlus members who sign up for CLEAR will earn $100 in United TravelBank cash, in addition to two free months of CLEAR. You’ll also unlock your special membership rate after the trial.
The membership on this deal will “renew” after your 2 month trial at $119 (or $109 with credit card).
The Fine Print
- Offer valid for the first 10,000 MileagePlus members to purchase a subscription for CLEAR. Offer ends on 11:59 CST September 9, 2021, or once all 10,000 offers have been claimed, whichever happens earlier.
- Members must enroll in CLEAR through offer landing page in order to qualify.
- TravelBank recipients will receive a confirmation email within 72 hours of enrolling in CLEAR.
- TravelBank credits will be valid for 9 months after the credit is deposited into member’s accounts. TravelBank credits will be deposited on or before September 15, 2021.
Our Verdict
You can get the CLEAR fee reimbursed if you have an American Express Platinum or Business Platinum card, and then pocket the $100 United credit for free. There’s also an AmEx Offer which can reimburse you the CLEAR cost as well.
Difficult to know if you are within the first 10,000 people to signup; worth doing this sooner rather than later. You’ll know within 72 hours whether you got in on the $100 promo, and you have 2 months to cancel the trial before being charged. A lot of people signed up for the $15 Amazon gift card CLEAR deal and won’t be able to do this one.
I tried using the $100 for a flight in January. Kept getting an error that was blaming the credit card, but I tried two different cards. I thought it might be the expiry date on TravelBank, and sure enough a flight before 12/25 worked fine. I then rebooked that flight for the flight I really wanted. Just FYI if anyone has issues using up their credit.
Very helpful tip, didn’t realize the flights have to be 12/25 or earlier for that Uber TravelBank credit many of us have. Was planning on waiting till 12/25 to book, but now I won’t!
Clear sucks and I never received my credit.
Fuckin’ I missed the part of the fine print where it said $100 expires after 9 months.. I thought it doesn’t expire. so I lost the $100 without using it ugh
I’ve signed up in late Aug 2021 and completely forgot about it. Got a renewal email and remembered only now. Did you guys get emails about the travelbank credit? I don’t recall seeing any $100 credit in United. What is the subject of it, can find any emails about travelbank
Thx the Uber Credits work well for me
Uber $75 Credit Offer is Back: https://www.clearme.com/enroll/?l=UBER75
Got that one already
Surprised to see it actually posted, might be actually useful. Thanks for the heads up.
Partner and I had CLEAR memberships in late 2021 (lifesaver during JFK rush hour). We canceled the membership to sign up for new memberships for the United promo (15k per new acc). Haven’t gotten the UA miles yet but got the prorated refunded credit clawedback from Amex (lol) and when we got to the airport to finish signing up for the new membership, CSR said our biometrics are stuck on the first original accounts. Anyone have experience with this and know how we can still get both the UA promo and clear membership?
Applied clear Jan 19 2022———got $100 TB March 25 2022
Took 65 days for the TB Deposit

Applied Jan 19 2022 and still no $100 United Credit. I have now contacted Clear to see what they say.
Hi! any update? i didnt receive my credit too and not sure who to contact first, clear or united?
Clear just told me that they show I used the code and everything correct on their end, and now they suggest I contact United.
Just received me and my partner’s $100 on 3/29. Signed up on 2/11.
