What's in your wallet or that which performs some of the functions of a wallet?
And what do you think it says about you?
Lets see, 2 bank/debit cards, 1 weird balance CC, 3 loyalty cards(why), receipts, 1 banknote! (I just emptied the thing to pay a small debt to someone), driving licence, library card and a map grid reference finder template.
I guess thats says I'm duller than even I thought. :D
edit:
just to heighten the sense of excitment, I forgot the multi-day bus ticket (old fashion paper)
Bank card, credit card, two loyalty cards, medical insurance card, door pass for the office, personal ID card, annual pass for public transport, a supermarket receipt from earlier tonight. Plus Euro bills and coins.
driver's license, 1 debit, 1 credit, Barnes & Nobles gift card, health insurance card, 2 lucky 2 dollar bills, walking around money.

Oh that's a good indirect reminder, that my wallet doesn't have a organ donor card in it, will rectify that.
See the thread has had a purpose. :cool:
1 debit, 1 credit, health insurance card, fitness center entry card, train pass, entry card to work, 1 loyalty card to a sandwich shop. Rarely any notes, coins go in my pockets.
I just cleaned my wallet this weekend so currently have in it:
1 debit card, 1 credit card, oyster card, 2 taxi receipts, 1 rail ticket receipt, pass to get into office, NY driver's license, membership card for Bleinhem Palace, 1 dollar, 5 pounds, nectar card, gym membership card, and my NHS card.
Actually just found 1 hidden Itsu card too. Only has one stamp. :blush:
HK ID card (legal requirement to carry it)
Driver's licence
HK government employee ID card
Access card to HK government HQs
Electronic money card (also doubles as my resident card. Required for access to my housing estate)
a few business cards to distribute to people in case they give me theirs
6 credit cards from different banks. Different places and restaurants offer discounts to different cards
Around US$200 in cash.
This should be back room. :ph34r:
No wallet, haven't carried one for almost a decade (for those who don't follow OTT). I currently have $24, Oregon Drivers License, debit card, 2 credit cards (one gets put away tonight until the end of the month), AAA card, Rewards card for my local hypermarket and a card from my union that says I passed the last drug test I took.
All currently contained in a money clip my kids bought for me a couple of Christmases ago. Prior to that I used a ponytail rubber band, which gave me the opportunity to be the hero to gals who suddenly found themselves in need of a ponytail rubber band.
I have a basket on my dresser full of other shit I may need at certain times and usually well in advance; Costco card, other credit cards, other reward cards to stores I don't go to very often etc

You don't think people should be telling you whether they carry credit cards or not? :hmm:
My credit card, about 1000 Argentinan pesos in cash (=70 Euro), 10 USD (why?), my German ID card and the Buenos Aires public transport card (huh).
I got way to much shit in my wallet to list.

I finally got tired of sitting on a stack of 8 month old receipts and business cards of people I had no intention of ever calling. Now I have to room to keep them so I throw them away quickly if I even take them.

FWIW there's an app for phones called Key Ring that lets you scan in your loyalty cards and really any other card with a barcode, and then you can present your phone instead of the physical card. I did that for all of my loyalty cards other than one grocery store card, library card, etc. It's never failed to work, although clerks sometimes look at me weird when I ask them to scan my phone. Only in the rare case where they use an old style scanner will it fail to scan from your phone screen.

The supermarkets that offer loyalty cards here have apps that you can use that also have the barcode in there, but I find it more of a hassle to pull out my phone, start the app, go to the barcode than just pulling the card out of my wallet. It's not uncommon, though, that people use it.

:lol:
When I lived in NY I produced a short film for a friend. It had an army setting so we had to procure a bunch of army gear and such. We bought a bunch of stuff from an army surplus store; gas masks, ammo pouches, empty mags, etc... The bill ran a few hundred, and the clerk added a free NRA membership on top. I guess they identified me as a potential gun nut. :lol:
I never paid any dues, nor extended my membership past the free period, but I kept the card.
Can I say most languishites are 'careful' with their money otherwise why so many loyalty cards? :D
I think from our sample, supermarket/grocer loyalty schemes have a greater penetration than with the with the wider public? :unsure:

It's all just paper. I cleared out all the useless receipts, but kept most of that stuff. Wallet is only an inch thick.
This has to be one of the worst thread ever started on Languish. :rolleyes:
