NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CLEAR, the biometric-based secured identification program for airports, is now available as a gift membership. For a limited time only, a first-year CLEAR membership or gift membership costs only $155 if purchased with a MasterCard by January 29, 2011, representing a discount of about 15 percent.
CLEAR, the smart way to speed through airport security is back at Denver International and Orlando International Airports and plans to expand its national network through 2011. CLEAR's exclusive, dedicated paths to security screening lanes offer members speed, efficiency and predictability using biometric identification.
Joining CLEAR is a simple two-step process. First, members enroll online at CLEARme.com. The second step is completed in person at a CLEARcube enrollment center where a CLEAR attendant authenticates their passport and secondary photo ID, fingerprints and iris image. Members' CLEARcards then arrive promptly via mail.
In addition to enrollment centers at Denver International Airport, Orlando International Airport and select Sotheby's realty locations in both cities, customers may now also join CLEAR or purchase a Gift CLEARcard at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, at 3000 East First Avenue, in Denver.
The CLEARcube enrollment kiosk is located on the lower level by the Guest Services counter, between Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Hours of operation are Tuesday to Friday from noon until 8:30pm, Saturday from 9am to 9pm, and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.
"CLEAR is a must-have for people who travel," CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker said. "But now, with Gift CLEARcards, it's never been easier to positively impact your friends' and family's travel experiences. And if you use a MasterCard, you'll also lock in our lowest available price for the first year through the end of January."
Membership costs $179 per year for unlimited use. A family plan is available which covers a second household member for an additional $50. CLEAR also has introduced a friend referral program where CLEARmembers will receive a complimentary month's membership for each person who enrolls using their personal promotional code.
