Can I cancel clear membership anytime?

CLEAR Plus Members can downgrade their Membership at any time. If you cancel within the first sixty (60) days of the date you were charged for your current CLEAR Plus Membership, you will receive a full refund for that term but will no longer be permitted to use our airport lanes as of the date of your cancellation.



Yes, you can cancel your CLEAR Plus membership at any time, and the process is designed to be straightforward through their digital platform. To cancel in 2026, you simply need to log in to your account at my.clearme.com, navigate to the "Membership" or "Membership Details" section, and follow the prompts to cancel. If you are in the middle of a paid term, CLEAR typically offers a pro-rated refund for the remaining months of your membership, though a small administrative or "cancellation fee" (historically around $30) may apply unless you are canceling during a free trial period. If you cancel while on a free trial, you will not be charged as long as the cancellation is processed before the trial's expiration date. For those who joined via a "Family Plan," only the primary account holder has the authority to cancel the entire plan, though individual family members can be removed at any time. After canceling, your biometric data is generally retained for a short period unless you explicitly request its deletion by contacting their "Member Services" team, which is a recommended step for those concerned about data privacy after ending their subscription.
