TSA launches a limited-time PreCheck discount
The Transportation Security Administration has started a limited-time promotion that gives travelers aged 30 and under a $20 discount on new TSA PreCheck memberships. The “$20 Take Off” promotion runs from May 1 through May 31, 2026, timed to summer travel and graduation season.
With the discount applied, a five-year TSA PreCheck membership costs between $56.75 and $65, depending on the enrollment provider.
TSA Senior Official Ha Nguyen McNeill said: “As young adults embark on new adventures – whether it’s travel for school, work, or fun – TSA PreCheck offers a quicker and smoother airport security experience.”
How to enroll
The offer is available through three authorized providers: CLEAR, IDEMIA, and Telos. Travelers can enroll at any of 1,300 TSA PreCheck locations across the country, including retail stores in local communities. Enrollment starts online and is completed in person, and applicants typically receive their Known Traveler Number within three to five days.
What membership includes
TSA PreCheck members get expedited security screening; the TSA says 99 percent of enrolled passengers wait less than 10 minutes at checkpoints. Members can leave electronics and 3-1-1 compliant liquids in carry-on bags and keep on belts and light jackets. Children can use TSA PreCheck at no cost when traveling with an enrolled family member. The free TSA PreCheck Touchless ID feature is now available with six airlines at 65 airports.
