VIP Airport Screening Company Closes Lanes
Travelers who paid $200 a year to cut in airport security lines now have to queue up with everyone else, as Clear, the leading Registered Traveler program, went out of business on Monday night.
Clear announced it closing on its web page, saying “Clear’s parent company, Verified Identity Pass, Inc. has been unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations.”
The website offered no guidance for the thousands of Clear members, and a spokeswoman did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Likely, Clear card holders will need to get in line with Clear’s creditors if they want to see any refund of their membership fees.
