 TITLE: What Is the Difference Between TSA Precheck and CLEAR at Airport Security? CONTENT: How to Save on TSA Precheck\n---------------------------\nIf this application fee causes you to wince, know that several of the top travel rewards credit cards offer statement credits toward the cost of TSA Precheck applications. To take advantage of this benefit, you usually just have to charge the application fee to your card. Keep in mind that this benefit is usually applicable to either TSA Precheck or Global Entry (a similar program that covers international flights entering the U.S.) periodically, but not to both programs at once. Cards that offer this benefit typically will provide a statement credit of up to $100 for Global Entry or $85 for TSA Precheck.\nYou might want to apply for Global Entry instead since many travelers who participate in that program also receive access to TSA Precheck security. As you decide which of these programs is best for you, here are a few of the credit cards that currently offer a TSA Precheck application fee statement credit benefit:\n*   Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card: Cardholders are eligible for a statement credit toward a TSA Precheck application fee charged to their card once every four years. This card earns 2 miles per dollar on all eligible purchases, which can be redeemed for 1 cent apiece toward travel. It also does not charge foreign transaction fees. The card's annual fee is $95.\n*   Chase Sapphire Reserve®: This card provides a statement credit once every four years toward a TSA Precheck application fee charged to the card. Cardholders get up to $300 in annual travel statement credits each year and can access over 1,200 airport lounges around the world when traveling with enrollment in Priority Pass Select. Spending on dining and travel earns 3 points per dollar; grocery store purchases earn 3 points per dollar on up to $1,000 per month through April 2021; and Lyft rides earn 10 points per dollar spent through March 2022. The card's annual fee is $550.\n3.  The Platinum Card® from American Express: Platinum cardholders are eligible for a TSA Precheck application fee credit once every 4.5 years when they charge the fee to their card.

You'll pay a $695 annual fee to carry this card. Unlike a traditional credit card, The Platinum Card® from American Express may only allow you to carry balances for certain charges from month to month. Terms apply. END
