Are you sure? There is a 6-month+ wait to schedule an interview for the Clear program in most places. It's not something they can pull you out of line to give you a free trial.. There is a background check and in-person interview as part of the process.
I use pre-check because I travel often for work. That registration process involves bringing in more documentation than is required to normally fly, a background check and fingerprints.
Yes, I was in line at… either SFO or San Bernidino, it’s been a while. They asked if I wanted to try it and I asked what it was, then they said the personal info they wanted and I said no way. They had people walking along their empty line talking to people in the TSA line. The TSA line was actually moving pretty smoothly that day, I bet they got more takers on slow days.
I also got offered a free trial from Clear a few weeks ago while getting into the security line, but the system wouldn't work properly with my ID (he said it works better with passports, which I wasn't carrying with me) so the rep just had me follow him to the front of the line, gave my ID to the TSA agent, and send me on my way. Clear doesn't appear to need an interview, but pre-check does. You can have just clear to skip the line but not the security check.
