Wash Clubs
Wash Clubs provide an excellent alternative to Hamilton’s ExpressPass RFID system. The automated sign-up process for customers is fast, autonomous, and relieves your employees of the administrative work that comes with a typical RFID pass sign-up. Furthermore, the lack of a windshield tag makes it a great solution if your washes are not always attended. Wash Clubs have come a long way since they where first introduced.
Originally the Wash Club service was restricted to Mobile App users who could claim a subscription via a generated QR code on the mobile device screen. Wash Clubs can now be used with all three verification devices (LPR,RFID,APP) making the ability to offer end users access to a monthly subscription package even easier than before.

Wash Club Sign Up
If the menu option exists underneath Wash Clubs for Wash Club Sign Up this menu entry will take you to the Customers Grid. The reason for this is that at the top of the Customers Grid are links to Add a Wash Club User or an Express Pass User. For the sake fo this section of the Wiki we will be focusing on the first option which is how to "Add Wash Club User".
Once you are on the Customers grid, click on "Add Wash Club User" in the upper left area of the grid, the blue button is located beneath the link to view the Wash Club Members customer grid. This will pop up a dialog window which is the Wash Club Sign Up form.

NOTE: Deleting an existing Wash Club can be tricky and sometimes the best action is to set it to inactive. If a wash club has subscribers, it cannot be deleted. However any Wash Club can be activated or inactivated at any time.
Editing an existing Wash Club
To the far right of the item grid, there is the Edit button. Clicking edit will open a new panel that looks a lot like the product and deals panel. It is here that you can change any of the existing settings for this specific Wash Club. From changing the item details, to modifying the appearance of the Wash Club within the app. Choose the locations you wish your customers to be able to redeem the wash club, and make sure the correct wash item is being issued with the Wash Club.
Creating a new Wash Club
Under the wash club grid you will see a New Wash Club button. When this is clicked you will be presented with the same type of panel as the edit panel, except all the values for the wash club will be blank. You can choose to copy the Item Name and Item Details for your Wash Club directly from the kiosk item information. Simply check the boxes for "Use Item name" and "Use item Detail" unchecking these boxes will then allow you to make changes to the existing text without having to start from scratch. Your sign-up price can be lower than your monthly price to entice your customers and offer a first month discount for new members. As always you can choose from a selection of complimentary colors and a vivid image to help distinguish this wash club from others.

Add Washclub to a New Device
If the subscriber has replaced the phone originally used to purchase a Washclub they may be unable to redeem the Washclub on the new device. The Washclub when purchased was married to the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) of the phone. If a Wash Club account is signed into on a device that does not match the ESN of the original purchasing device, then wash club redemption will be denied. This is a security feature so that multiple devices cannot leach off one account.
To allow a Wash Club member to use a new device (In case of lost, stolen or replaced device)
- Login to Hosted Solutions
- Click on Customers to the left (People Icon)
- Locate and click on the name of the customer who is using a new device.
- Scroll down to Wash Club Management and click the drop down arrow.
- Click the yellow “Release Device ID” button.
- A pop up declares “Device ID successfully released.”
- Click the X on the pop up.
- You have successfully released the account.
The member may log in (They may have to log out and back in) on the new phone and access their membership.
