TSA PreCheck Offers $20 Off to New Applicants 30 Years and Under

"Through May 31, first-time applicants age 30 and under can receive $20 off a new five-year TSA PreCheck membership, lowering the enrollment cost to as little as $57 depending on which enrollment provider they use. TSA is calling the promotion “$20 Take Off,” and it marks the first broad age-based discount the agency has offered for the trusted traveler program."

"The discount applies only to new enrollments completed by May 31 and is available through all three TSA-authorized enrollment providers: CLEAR, IDEMIA, and Telos Corporation. Travelers must complete both the online application and in-person interview before the deadline to qualify."

"TSA screened more than 904 million passengers in 2025—the highest annual total in the agency's history—and officials have warned travelers to expect especially heavy crowds this year as airlines continue ramping up schedules ahead of major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup. TSA PreCheck also gives travelers access to the agency's new Touchless ID lanes, which use facial recognition technology to further expedite wait times."

"As to why the discount is targeting people under 30 years of age, TSA PreCheck program manager Denyse Wells says the organization “realized that young travelers are underrepresented in the TSA PreCheck population.” “We hear from our members all the time how much TSA PreCheck changed their air travel experience for the better and wanted to give younger travelers a more accessible way to join.”"

A limited-time promotion called “$20 Take Off” reduces the cost of new TSA PreCheck memberships for first-time applicants age 30 and under. The $20 discount applies to new five-year memberships completed by May 31, lowering enrollment cost to as little as $57 depending on the enrollment provider. The offer is available through all three TSA-authorized enrollment providers: CLEAR, IDEMIA, and Telos Corporation. To qualify, travelers must complete both the online application and an in-person interview by the deadline. TSA expects heavy summer airport crowds after screening more than 904 million passengers in 2025. TSA PreCheck also provides access to Touchless ID lanes that use facial recognition to speed processing. The age targeting reflects underrepresentation of younger travelers in the program.
