Not to be outdone by Hyatt, it looks like Marriott Platinum Elite members are eligible for a special one-year complimentary membership to Clear.
Off the Website:
The Clear Card allows you to access a fast lane through airport security at 17 major airports nationwide. As the number of participating airports grows, so does the value of Clear. The first time you breeze through security without the unpredictable, long lines, you’ll marvel at the time you save.
Enrollment in Clear is easy and, for Marriott Platinum Rewards members, complimentary. Start the process online by clicking join now on the left, then bring two forms of government-issued I.D. to any Clear enrollment station, where an attendant will confirm your I.D.s, capture iris and fingerprint images, and take your photograph.
After that, we’ll mail you your card and you’ll be free and clear, ready to speed through airport security, whether you’re on your way to your next Marriott stay, or anywhere else.
While it is not accepted everywhere, it appears to be rolling out to more and more airports each month.
Airports Accepting the Clear card:
- Albany (ALB)
- Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG)
- Denver (DEN)
- Indianapolis (IND)
- Jacksonville (JAX)*

Less time in a security line can only be a good thing.
