Thankfully, TSA PreCheck can help you avoid delays. And now it's $20 off. This could be your best opportunity to sign up for five-year access to the TSA PreCheck program, which provides access to separate security lines that are typically shorter and faster than the regular ones. TSA PreCheck isn't worth it for everyone, but it's popular among frequent flyers willing to pay the fees to save precious time at the airport. The May promotion, available only to travelers ages 30 and under, lowers the price from $76.75 to $56.75. With this special discount, the TSA aims to boost sign-ups among the younger demographic. Three enrollment providers each offer a different price for PreCheck status: | Provider | New membership cost | Discounted cost* | Renewal cost | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [IDEMIA](http://tsaenrollmentbyidemia.tsa.dhs.gov) | $76.75 | $56.75 | $58.75 online, $66.75 in-person | | [CLEAR](http://tsaprecheckbyclear.tsa.dhs.gov) | $79.95 | $59.95 | $69.95 online, $79.95 in-person | | [Telos](http://tsaprecheckbytelos.tsa.dhs.gov/) | $85 | $65 | $69.95 online $58.75 in-person | *\* Must be 30 or younger to qualify.* In a [news release](https://www.tsa.gov/news/press/releases/2026/04/29/travelers-aged-30-and-under-save-20-new-tsa-precheckr-membership) on Wednesday, Ha Nguyen McNeill, acting head of the TSA, celebrated the launch of the promotion and shared more details about the age focus. "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," McNeill said. "With this special discount, we’re empowering the next generation of travelers to make TSA PreCheck a part of their journey." Enrolling in PreCheck involves a few steps, including completing an online form and enrolling in person at one of 1,300 locations. The program is "open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents," according to the TSA's website. The entire process can be done quickly: Participants typically receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) and PreCheck benefits within three to five days. In addition to shorter lines, passengers "can keep their electronics and [3-1-1 liquids](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/liquids-aerosols-and-gels-rule) in their bags and leave on their belts and light jackets," an FAQ explains. The main benefit for most customers is the time they save when the regular security line is busy. TSA claims that passengers rarely wait 10 minutes with PreCheck. Don't want to pay $56.75 (or more) to get through security checkpoints in a reasonable amount of time? We hear you. A [credit card](https://money.com/best-travel-credit-cards/) with a PreCheck perk could be another option — and there are [many](https://money.com/best-airline-credit-cards/), though they typically carry an annual fee. For example, the $95 annual fee Capital One Venture Rewards card offers a statement credit of up to $120 for PreCheck or Global Entry. New Clear+ members can also get a PreCheck membership as part of a [bundle deal](https://www.clearme.com/clear-plus) for $209 annually. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/tsa-precheck-discount-20-off/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Travel", "item": "https://money.com/travel/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Some Travelers Can Get TSA PreCheck for Less Than $60 With This Rare Discount" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/tsa-precheck-discount-20-off/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/tsa-precheck-discount-20-off/", "name": "Some Travelers Can Get TSA PreCheck for Less Than $60 With This Rare Discount", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2026-05-04T16:03:43.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/tsa-precheck-discount-20-off/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/tsa-precheck-discount-20-off/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2026-05-04T16:03:43.000Z" }, { "@type": "NewsArticle", "headline": "Some Travelers Can Get TSA PreCheck for Less Than $60 With This Rare Discount", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2026/05/News-TSA-Precheck-Discount.jpg", "width": 2880, "height": 1920, "caption": "News-TSA-Precheck-Discount" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Pete Grieve", "url": "https://money.com/author/pete-grieve/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/pete-grieve/#author", "description": "Pete Grieve is a personal finance reporter.
