Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I’m traveling soon and needed to update my phone number for my CLEAR membership. Phone support was 'under maintenance,' and chat support left me waiting for over 90 minutes with no response. This service is supposed to save time, but it wasted mine before I even got to the airport.
JJSAI28
The app is not intuitive at all. I tried to renew my membership, but the screen had no link, even after adding my passport. The app needs serious improvements.
LAKPAPA
I was sold on CLEAR at the airport, but most airports I visit either don't have CLEAR or it's not available at the terminal. It's been a waste of money, and I regret the impulse purchase.
