But if you paid by credit card, why not dispute with them same as for when airlines go bankrupt.

I used to have premier status on one carrier, but since I've lost that, and even when I had to fly on another carrier with whom I didn't have status, the lines were much longer. Although I had to go through the same screening (response to the above post), the line was much, much shorter, and there was almost zero wait compared to snaking through the lines with all the other non-premier travelers. Very disappointing. I can only hope that their assets will be picked up by one of the other registered traveler companies, but Fly Clear appeared to be the largest of the bunch, so I'm not sure how likely that is.

I am concerned about all of the personal information that they have and I really can't understand why Clear wouldn't have issued a statement regarding the issue of privacy/security. Also, I JUST got and email about a month ago that it was time to renew. In fact my renewal period doesn't even start until July 5th. I definitely want my $179.00 back!
