Add your AAA membership card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Scan the barcode or QR on your AAA membership card once and carry it in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, in AAA colors or any of hundreds of designs. Free, no account, nothing about you stored.
What code is on a AAA card?
TapIn has not read a AAA card yet, so the scanner decides: point the camera at the code on your card or key tag and it reports whether it is a barcode or a QR code and which kind, then fills the number in. If you know the type already, pick it from the list.
How to add a AAA membership card to your wallet
- Scan the card. Open the TapIn builder with AAA already filled in, tap Scan the card and hold the code inside the frame. The number and code type fill in. Decoding happens on your phone; the picture is never uploaded.
- Add the logo. Drop in the AAA logo from their website or an email from them. The pass and the page take on its colors. Pick the lettering you like.
- Add to Wallet. Tap Add to Apple Wallet on an iPhone or Add to Google Wallet on Android. The pass lands in the wallet app; on an iPhone, a double press of the side button opens Wallet from the lock screen.
- Test it once at the counter while you still have the physical card.
Why a wallet pass instead of the AAA app?
A wallet pass is one swipe from the lock screen, works with no signal in the building, and never asks you to sign in. The auto club's own app, if it has one, is still where your account lives; the pass is only the code, made by you for your own use.
The pass looks like the preview in the builder: the logo and AAA in the header, your design across the strip with your name over it, the small fields above the code, and the code itself drawn by the wallet. What each piece becomes has the detail.
Good to know
- Is this the AAA app?
- No. TapIn makes a wallet pass that carries your own AAA number, the same one printed under the code on your card. Your membership and roadside service still live with AAA at aaa.com.
- Will AAA scan a phone at the counter?
- Camera-based scanners read a phone screen; older laser wands often do not. Test the pass once at the counter while you still have the card. If the scanner does not pick it up, turn the screen brightness up and try again, or ask them to type the number printed under the code.
- Does TapIn store my AAA number?
- No. An Apple Wallet pass is signed in memory and sent straight back to you. A Google Wallet pass needs the logo at a web address, so the logo tile is kept under a random name; your name and number are never stored.
- Does the pass replace my AAA card?
- For a scan or a typed number, yes: it carries the same number. For anything that wants to see the card itself, keep the card with you.
- Which phones work?
- iPhone (Apple Wallet) and Android, including Samsung Galaxy (Google Wallet). On a computer you get a pass file to send to your phone.
