Frequently asked questions
Cancel Clear: The Right Way to Get Your Refund
How to cancel your Clear membership in the UAE and claim your 14-day refund
Understanding Clear and why you might want to cancel
Clear is a premium membership service that uses your face and fingerprint to fast-track you through airport security and venue entry across the UAE and internationally. You enrol your biometric data at participating airports, then bypass standard security queues using dedicated Clear lanes.
The service operates on a paid subscription model, with CLEAR+ membership starting at AED 179.99 annually. While the time savings are genuine, not everyone requires expedited airport access regularly. Your travel patterns change, family circumstances shift, or you may discover the recurring charge no longer justifies your usage. Yafee is here to guide you through cancellation with precision and clarity, grounded in UAE consumer law.
What Clear membership includes and what you pay for
CLEAR membership grants you biometric verification and dedicated processing lanes at participating airports and venues. The free tier offers limited features, while CLEAR+ unlocks unlimited access and priority support. You manage everything through your account at my.clearme.com or via the mobile app.
Billing renews automatically unless you cancel, and your payment method is charged on the anniversary of your subscription date. If you signed up recently and are reconsidering, you have legal protections under UAE consumer law-including a 14-day cooling-off period for paid memberships.
When cancellation makes sense for your circumstances
You should cancel if you travel infrequently, prefer standard security lanes, or find the annual fee unjustified by your usage. If you are on a trial and have not yet been charged, cancelling costs nothing. If you are within 14 days of your initial purchase, you are entitled to a full refund under UAE consumer protection rules-no questions asked. Yafee advisors recommend documenting your cancellation date and the original charge date to support any refund claim.
Your consumer rights under UAE law
The UAE Consumer Protection Law grants you specific rights when cancelling paid digital services like Clear, enforceable against the service provider.
The 14-day cooling-off period explained
You have 14 calendar days from the date Clear charges your payment method to request a full refund. This is a statutory right, not a courtesy. Clear's terms acknowledge this legal obligation: within 14 days, you cancel and receive your money back in full. The membership ends immediately, and you lose access to CLEAR+ services that same day.
After 14 days, this right expires. You can still cancel, but you will not receive a refund; instead, your service continues until the end of the billing period, then stops auto-renewing. Trial users are protected differently: if you cancel before the trial ends, no charge is applied at all.
Your legal position
Under Article 41 of the UAE Consumer Protection Law, you hold an unconditional right to cancel digital memberships and request a full refund within 14 calendar days of payment. The burden of proof that you cancelled within this window rests with you-retain all cancellation confirmations and payment receipts. Clear must process your refund within 30 days of your cancellation request.
Your escalation rights if Clear refuses your refund
If Clear denies your 14-day refund claim without justification, you have the right to file a complaint with the Ministry of Economy Consumer Protection Department (CPD), the official enforcement body for consumer disputes in the UAE. Contact the CPD by visiting the Ministry of Economy website or calling their consumer hotline. Yafee has supported hundreds of consumers through this escalation process; gather all evidence-charge date, cancellation date, and copies of any correspondence with Clear's Member Services-before filing.
The fastest way to cancel Clear online
Cancelling through your Clear account dashboard is the quickest route and leaves you with an immediate confirmation receipt you can screenshot.
Step 1: log in to your Clear account at my.clearme.com
- Open your browser and navigate to https://my.clearme.com (do not use a public computer).
- Sign in using your registered email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, select "Forgot Password?" and reset it via the email link sent to your inbox.
- Check your spam folder if the reset email does not arrive within 5 minutes.
- Once logged in, you will see your account dashboard with your membership status displayed.
Step 2: navigate to your membership settings
- Locate the "Membership" section in the main navigation menu-usually in the left sidebar or under "Account Settings".
- Click on "Membership" to expand your subscription details.
- You will now see your active CLEAR+ membership card with your biometric status and renewal date.
Step 3: initiate your cancellation
- Click the arrow or expand icon next to your CLEAR+ membership details.
- Select "Cancel Membership" from the dropdown menu.
- Clear will prompt you to confirm your cancellation reason (optional) and ask whether you wish to proceed-confirm "Yes".
Step 4: capture your confirmation
- After you confirm cancellation, Clear displays a confirmation screen with your cancellation date and reference number.
- Screenshot this page or note your reference number immediately.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Clear within 2 hours.
- If you do not receive an email confirmation within this time, return to my.clearme.com and verify that "Cancelled" appears next to your membership status.
Alternative cancellation methods
If you cannot access my.clearme.com or prefer to cancel by phone or email, Clear provides multiple contact routes, though online cancellation remains the fastest option.
Cancellation by phone or chat
- Contact Clear's Member Services team directly-phone and live chat options are available on their website.
- Provide your email address and membership number (found on your account dashboard).
- Confirm that you wish to cancel your membership and ask for a cancellation reference number.
- Request that a cancellation confirmation email be sent to you immediately after the call.
Cancellation by email
- Send a cancellation request email to Clear's Member Services address (listed on clearme.com).
- Include your full name, email address registered with Clear, and membership number.
- State clearly: "I request cancellation of my CLEAR+ membership effective immediately and wish to claim my 14-day cooling-off refund."
- Retain the email confirmation and tracking information (send via registered or tracked email if possible).
- Allow 3 to 5 business days for Clear to process your email cancellation and send confirmation.
Clear's pricing structure and renewal dates
Understanding Clear's billing cycle is essential to calculating your refund eligibility and knowing when your cancellation becomes effective.
| Membership tier | Annual price (AED) | Monthly equivalent (AED) | Auto-renewal | Refund eligibility (first 14 days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLEAR free tier | 0 | 0 | No | N/A |
| CLEAR+ (recommended for frequent travellers) | 179.99 | 15.00 | Yes, on anniversary date | Full refund within 14 days |
| Trial membership (7 days) | 0 (unless you opt in to paid membership) | N/A | No, unless you select "continue" | Free cancellation during trial |
| Family plan add-on | 89.99 per additional member | 7.50 | Yes, on anniversary date | Full refund within 14 days |
Your renewal date is the calendar date each year when your payment method is charged. If you cancel before this date, your membership remains active until that date, then expires. If you cancel within 14 days of the charge date, you qualify for a full refund-Clear processes this back to your original payment method within 30 days.
What happens after you cancel
Once cancellation is confirmed, your access to Clear's biometric lanes and priority services ends immediately, though your account data remains stored for 12 months in case you decide to reactivate.
Your access after cancellation
- You lose immediate access to dedicated CLEAR+ lanes and biometric verification at participating airports and venues.
- Any enrolled fingerprints or facial recognition data remain in Clear's system for 12 months-you can request deletion via my.clearme.com or by contacting Member Services.
- You can still use standard security queues at any airport without restriction.
- If you cancelled within the 14-day refund window, your refund is processed within 30 days and appears in your original payment account (bank account, credit card, or digital wallet).
Reactivating your Clear membership later
If you cancel and later change your mind, you can reactivate your membership at any time by logging into my.clearme.com and selecting "Resume Membership". Your biometric data (if not deleted) will be available for instant verification. If more than 12 months have passed since cancellation, you must re-enrol your fingerprints and facial recognition.
Common mistakes when cancelling Clear
Cancellation is straightforward, but these errors can delay your refund or leave you charged beyond your intended cancellation date-all are preventable.
Mistake 1: cancelling after the 14-day window expires
Your cooling-off period runs from the date your payment method is charged, not from the date you signed up. If Clear charged you on 1st January and you cancel on 16th January, you are outside the 14-day window and forfeit your refund right. Check your bank statement or credit card bill to confirm the exact charge date; if unclear, ask Clear to provide it in writing before cancelling.
Mistake 2: assuming your membership ends immediately without confirming
Do not assume cancellation is complete just because you clicked a button. Log back into my.clearme.com within 1 hour and verify that your membership status now reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If it still shows "Active", your cancellation did not process-contact Member Services immediately.
Mistake 3: not capturing your cancellation confirmation number
Clear provides a reference number after cancellation. Screenshot it or note it down immediately. If a dispute arises about whether you cancelled within 14 days, this number is your proof. Yafee strongly advises retaining all confirmation documentation for at least 90 days after cancellation.
Mistake 4: expecting an instant refund
Clear must process your refund within 30 days of your cancellation request, but most take 7 to 14 days. Do not contact your bank or payment provider before this 30-day window closes-premature dispute claims can complicate the refund process. If 30 days have passed with no refund, then escalate to Clear's Member Services in writing.

When to escalate: your next steps if Clear refuses
If Clear denies your refund claim or fails to process your cancellation within 5 business days, you have a clear legal path to enforcement.
Step 1: send a written refund demand to Clear
- Email Clear's Member Services with the subject line: "Formal Refund Demand - CLEAR+ Membership Cancellation Within 14-Day Cooling-Off Period".
- Include: your full name, email, membership number, the exact date of charge, the exact date of cancellation, your cancellation reference number, and a statement that you cancelled within 14 days and are entitled to a full refund under UAE Consumer Protection Law Article 41.
- Request that Clear confirm receipt within 2 business days and process your refund within 7 days of receipt.
- Send this email via registered or tracked method (Gmail read receipts are acceptable but not legally definitive).
Step 2: escalate to the ministry of economy if Clear does not respond
- If Clear does not respond within 7 days or refuses your refund claim, file a formal complaint with the UAE Ministry of Economy Consumer Protection Department.
- Visit the official CPD portal at economy.ae or call the consumer hotline (toll-free number available on the Ministry website).
- Provide: your cancellation documentation, Clear's refusal (if any), proof of payment, and your written demand email.
- The CPD will investigate on your behalf at no cost and compel Clear to refund if your claim is upheld-which it will be if you cancelled within 14 days.
