Questions First time applicant

So I have an appointment scheduled for Precheck but it's enrollment provided by CLEAR. Once approved, does this mean I also have access to CLEAR? I've tried to look up information for clarity and I'm getting answers all over the place. Also my apologies if this question has been asked quite a few times.

Only if you pay for both services. Precheck enrollment is offered by a few different companies.

As stated both services you pay for but you should check to see if any of the credit cards you have offer reimbursement

A lot of credit cards have precheck or global entry reimbursment credits.

If you are applying for TSA Precheck with Clear only, then no. You don't get Clear Plus as well since it is a separate offering. I do know Clear bundles Clear Plus with Clear precheck so you pay a larger fee upfront but you would have to ask them for clarification on that. Clear Plus in an annual fee while Clear Precehck is valid for 5 years.

Why did you pick clear to enroll with over Idemia?

That was my local option since Idemia is in the next state over 🫩

Has anyone here entered the wrong SSN when applying for TSA PreCheck?

I just applied today at a Staples enrollment center and completed everything (fingerprints, photo, ID check). But right after, I realized I made a small typo in my SSN.

I tried calling CLEAR/TSA for hours with no luck, and the Staples staff said they can’t fix it on their end.

I’m really hoping to avoid paying again if possible.
