United MileagePlus members, listen up! You can snag 5,000 United miles just by signing up for a CLEAR membership. The offer is valid between October 29th and November 28th, 2025, but there's a catch: you need to be a new CLEAR member to qualify. Keep in mind, United Global Services members are excluded from this particular deal.
So, why should you care? Well, 5,000 United miles can be a nice boost towards your next award flight! Plus, if you play your cards right, the CLEAR membership itself could be essentially free. Certain American Express cards (like the Platinum, Business Platinum, Green card, and Hilton Aspire) offer statement credits that can cover the CLEAR membership fee. Meaning you could potentially get expedited security at the airport and a pile of United miles. It's a win-win situation! Just make sure to read the fine print on both the CLEAR and Amex offers to ensure eligibility and that you don't miss the promotional period.
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.
