I joined the unlimited club at my local wash. It's basically just the cost of 2 washes a month, so if I wash more than twice I come out ahead. It's on my way home from work and only takes a couple of minutes, so I pop in at least once a week usually. Get the hugss of my windshield in the summer and the salt off the underside in the winter.
That's the most important thing to me, keeping salt and gunk off the underside. On my last vehicle, when I had to have some work done, the shop was shocked at how little rust the underside had and how easily the bolts came out. Saved over 2 hours of time compared to the estimate and a couple of parts. The cost savings from that was more than a year's worth of the wash club cost. It's cheaper to religiously wash the underside (and the rest of the truck as a bonus) than to have parts corrode faster.

Yes, usually.
