How the CLEAR Plus Credit works, by the numbers

The CLEAR Plus Credit is worth up to $209 per calendar year in a single annual window: the full amount stays claimable until December 31, and an unused balance does not carry into the new year.

Used in full, this one credit offsets about 38% of the $550 annual fee on the Hilton Honors Aspire.

It sits alongside 3 other tracked credits on the Hilton Honors Aspire, worth up to $809 per year combined against its $550 fee — see every Hilton Honors Aspire credit.

When the CLEAR Plus Credit resets

The credit resets once per calendar year, with each window closing on December 31. Pointsmiths counts these windows on the calendar year — the same math behind the credit timeline, the expiring view, and the reminder emails — so the one deadline that matters is December 31. Value that is unused when a window closes does not roll over.

Common ways cardholders lose this credit

  • Letting the window close: unused value does not roll over, and each window ends on December 31.
  • Deferring an annual credit to December is the classic failure: the window is generous right up until holiday season swallows it.
  • Not tracking it anywhere: a credit you have to remember is a credit you eventually miss. The credit timeline and the 45-day expiring view exist for exactly this.

Tracking the CLEAR Plus Credit

On the Pointsmiths credit timeline this benefit appears as one window per calendar year. Mark a window used when the credit posts and the running total of claimed value updates; leave it unmarked and it surfaces in the expiring view as its deadline approaches, alongside optional email reminders and a calendar feed for the reset dates. Tracking works without an account — sign in only if you want the same list on more than one device.
