Start your car wash loyalty program

Customers add a wallet pass. Staff scan it at the window.

For express, in-bay, and full-service washes

A car wash loyalty program that keeps up with the line

A wash is a short visit people repeat every week or two. They will not download an app while the car behind them is waiting, and a paper punch card usually dies in the cup holder. Customers add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Staff scan the QR when they pay. No customer account.

This is for wash visits, not multi-hour details. Detail shops can use car detailing loyalty.

Why wash punch cards fall apart

The card never makes it back

It sits in the door pocket, then goes out with the trash. The regular who washes every Saturday has no record of the last seven visits.

The line cannot stop

Asking for an email and a password at the pay window holds up everyone behind them. People came for a wash, not a new account.

Basic and deluxe are not the same stamp

Eight exterior washes should not automatically unlock your most expensive package. The reward has to match the ticket you actually rang up.

How it works at the window

  1. 1
    They add your card once

    A QR at the pay window or on the menu board. Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. No PointsCard app to install.

  2. 2
    Staff scan when they take payment

    Open PointsCard, scan the wallet QR, and award the wash or use one credit from a pack.

  3. 3
    They can see what is left

    The pass shows progress toward the reward, or how many prepaid washes remain, before they pull forward.

What a wash business can run

  • One visit per paid wash, toward a reward you choose
  • Prepaid wash packs, with one credit used per scan
  • Digital gift credit on the same pass
  • Optional refer-a-friend when a neighbor’s first wash is scanned

Example wash rewards

Examples you can set up, not existing PointsCard customers. Pick a reward your menu can afford.

Express exterior

8 washes → one free basic wash

The free wash matches the service they actually buy. It does not jump them to the top package.

Full service

6 washes → free interior vacuum

An add-on you already offer, instead of giving away a complete wash every time.

Weekly commuter

Prepaid 10-wash pack

They pay you up front. You load 10 credits. Each scan uses one, and the remaining count stays on the pass. See prepaid packages.

Gift

A wash credit someone else can spend

Load gift credit onto a wallet pass. The recipient shows the QR. No plastic card in the glove box.

Quick reward math

Rough share of spend when someone earns a reward after a set number of washes.

Car wash loyalty questions

Do car wash customers need to download an app?

No. They add your card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet once. At the next wash they show the QR and staff scan it. There is no customer account and no PointsCard customer app.

Will a loyalty scan slow the car wash line?

Staff scan the wallet QR when they take payment. It takes a few seconds, similar to scanning a payment code. There is no form and no app install at the window.

Can I sell a wash pack without running a monthly membership?

Yes. The customer pays you the way you already take payment. You load a set number of wash credits on their wallet pass. Each visit scan uses one credit. PointsCard does not bill a monthly membership for you.

What if a basic wash and a deluxe wash cost different amounts?

Use one visit per paid wash, and make the reward a basic wash or a small add-on such as an interior vacuum. A string of cheap exterior washes then does not unlock your most expensive package.

Can two wash locations share the same loyalty card?

Yes. The Grow plan supports more than one location, so a customer can show the same wallet pass at a second site.
