Remember RESERVE by CLEAR, that service that let you book a security time slot? Well, it's officially gone. CLEAR quietly shut it down, so don't go looking for it on your next trip. This matters because RESERVE was a handy way to bypass long security lines, especially if you didn't have TSA PreCheck or CLEAR.

So, what's the alternative? CLEAR has launched a new program called "CLEAR Mobile," but it's totally separate from RESERVE. Think of it as a digital CLEAR card that you can use to verify your identity. While it might speed things up a little, it doesn't offer the dedicated security lane access that RESERVE did.

If you are looking for ways to avoid security lines, you should consider applying for TSA PreCheck or CLEAR. Certain credit cards offer statement credits to cover the cost of these programs, so it's worth exploring if your credit card offers these benefits.
