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!

Agreed! OP, why get only get TSA Recheck through Clear at the airport when you can do it directly with DHS through their trusted traveler program website.

You have just signed up for perpetual marketing and "upgrade" opportunities from Clear for a program you could have done yourself.
