What's in your wallet?
No, this isn't a Capital One commercial. A post in another thread made me wonder what people carry in their wallets besides money. So pull out your wallet or purse and tell us what you have in there.
I've got: Driver's license Health insurance card Red Cross blood donor card AAA card State physician's license Auto registration cards for both cars Access card for the door to our synagogue TWIC government ID card (homeland security thing for access to ports) Marriott Visa Chase Visa Discover BOA ATM card Wawa gift card (use to buy gas) Rewards card from local restaurant I frequent Casino rewards card from the one I go to most frequently Player strategy guides for video poker and blackjack for those casino visits

My wallet is bigger than I'd like it to be, so it tends to carry a lot:
Insurance card yogurt shop card CPR card Shoe store rewards card Home inspectors business card Macy's CC (and we don't have one here!) Dick's rewards card Carnival card (and it's been nearly 2 years since our cruise!) Blockbuster card x2 library card Receipts Expired Sears gift card yogurt rewards card hair dresser card A stamp JC Penny gift card Driver's license Military ID Primary CC Debit Card 3 checks Olive garden gift card NY&Co rewards card (which they no longer use) Anthropology card (no clue what this is for) Ring warranty card Pet smart rewards card Guess it's time to clean some of this stuff out!

And gift cards don't expire so that Sears card is probably still good. Call the 800 number and check the balance.

For the Dicks card, you can also get a small barcode sticker that can be placed on the back of any other credit card. I have this on the back of my Citi card, so I don't need the keyring OR the full size credit card.
In my wallet: 1. Note from my wife written in a high-school chemistry class 8 years ago, folded in the shape of a heart 2. A 1961 "cinco peso" dollar bill (honeymoon souvenir from 2 years ago) 3. Old college ID card that still gets me "student" discounts even though I haven't been in school for about 4 years now 4. Building access card for work 5. Meal cards for work cafeteria and favorite local pub 6. Insurance Cards 7. Emergency business card stash 8. Credit/debit cards (Wachovia, Citi, AMEX) I used to carry a larger wallet with a full checkbook, family photos, etc., but I dropped that as check-writing became more and more obsolete.

I'll play.
Driving License Library card Borders Rewards card Barnes and Noble card Pacific Science Center membership card Kmart/Sears/Land's End reward card Athletic Club ID card AAA Card BoA World Points Master Card Costco Membership card Costco Amex card (with cash back for gas purchases) I do have several reward club cards for grocery, electronics, beauty supply, drug and office stores, but I don't carry them. If I am going to that store I will take it out of the drawer and add it to my wallet. Most of the grocery stores have key tags as well so no reason to carry them in my wallet.

haha it'll be interesting to see some of the random stuff people have.
I've got: - Military ID card - Japan (SOFA) driver's license & Gov't vehicle driver's license - 4 x credit/debit cards: (formerly) Charles Schwab CC, PenFed CC, USAA debit, Gov't travel CC - Unit emergency contact info card & ...ummm... a "who to call/where to go if the base is attacked" reference card (don't ask) - "Liberty card" (relates to my base's curfew) - Unit "round metal object" - Insurance info card - Temple recommend (only a certain crowd might recognize this) - Subway Customer Appreciation card (x2), currently good for 1.375 6-inch sandwiches AAANNNDDD..... because all of that makes for a fat enough wallet as it is, I keep a separate (old/"retired") wallet that stays home, which has: - More credit/debit cards (USAA CC, Discover CC, Schwab Debit, PenFed ATM) - USAA contact info card - Oregon Driver's license - Eagle Scout card - Basic & Advanced SCUBA dive certification cards - DoD Bone Marrow Program donor card - Photos

Most times before I leave the house I customize the contents of my wallet according to where I'm going. I try to carry as little as possible.
Right now I have: Driver's license Debit card $0.37 in coins $20 bill The bill is there so that I can break it to smaller bills. I want to add that bit to my "power is out all over town" little cash pool.

I'd guess that: - You enjoy traveling when possible (Disney and Southwest stuff, Historic Preservation card) - You take good care of yourself--personally, medically, emotionally, and otherwise (various insurance cards, pills, Starbucks, dermatologist, Lib. of Congress, Horticultural Society) - You're something of a worry-wart at times (the fact that you've got such random articles--never want to be unprepared!... bandaid, AAA card, Southwest drinks, careful instructions for iPhone setup, SD card) I might go further, but those are the three that stick out. Sooooooo...... am I close?
