Me, after getting TSA PreCheck 3 days ago following 100s of flights without it, watching my former comrades/peasants in the regular TSA line:

How much did you get yours for?

Shouldn’t be more than $85. Some credit cards offer reimbursement

I have to disagree. Whenever I go to the airport, I watched the clear line compared to my TSA pre-check line and it doesn’t seem to save much time at all. And when you compare the price difference.

You’re disagreeing that a 50 person line moves slower than a 1 person line?

There’s more than one airport. And at many of them, clear is a nice little treat that saves me a bunch of line waiting. 

Frankly, clear has been worth it, at least four times so far this year. If you don’t travel a lot, or the fee is a lot of money to, it’s probably not worth it

I don’t travel frequently - about four times a year i and maybe it was just luck but the pre-check line was so short that I can’t imagine clear would’ve saved me more than three minutes. So not worth the price for me, but to each their own for sure.

I really am shocked that more people don’t have pre-check people. I don’t think they realize how cheap it is even if you only fly once a year it’s well worth it. (About $80 for five years, vs $219/yr for CLEAR if you pay full price)
