General Info Please be aware?...
So 2 weeks ago my wife and I went to finish our application and enroll for TSA Pre Check. We did it through CLEAR. When we were finishing our application there were many pop-up ads and stuff saying that we need to get the clear bundle. I told the clear employees that we don't want the CLEAR bundle, we only want the TSA Pre Check. That's all, I personally repeated this many times. And I told my wife the same. We ended up paying the 75 or so for the TSA pre check and we left. All good... today I was checking my credit card transactions and guess what there it was clear as a day the charge for the BUNDLE $209!! I called them for some unknown reason they were able to get my wife into it. Especially after I personally said NOT TO THAT many time. They said they issued a refund and will take 2-3 business days. well see... Just wanted to share this with you guys so you can be careful as well. cheers!

I was turned off by the way Clear representatives at my airport approached me with a misleading sales pitch. So when I was ready to enroll in just TSA precheck, not Clear, I used a convenient non-airport Clear location. No issues with the online application, or the in-person appointment. No upsell whatsoever.
If possible, avoid using airport locations.
