Heads up, awardtrail readers! Keep an eye on your Amex Offers because there are two new deals for CLEAR, the service that speeds you through airport security. One offer gives you a $50 statement credit when you spend $209 or more on a regular CLEAR membership. The other gives you $50 back on a $99 CLEAR Concierge purchase.

The first offer is the one you really want to look for. Many credit cards, like the Amex Platinum, offer an annual credit to cover the cost of CLEAR. So, if you have an Amex Platinum and find the $209 CLEAR offer, you could potentially get CLEAR for FREE! You'd use your Platinum to pay for CLEAR, get reimbursed by the Platinum's CLEAR credit, and also get $50 back from the Amex Offer. It's like getting paid to skip the security line.

Just a word of caution: In the past, Amex has sometimes clawed back overlapping benefits like this. But lately they haven't been too strict. Still, it's worth keeping in mind that there's a small chance this "double dip" could be reversed. Check your Amex Offers ASAP and happy travels!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
