What's in your wallet?

[disneysteve]

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

[ktmarvels]

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!

Dick's rewards card
Expired Sears gift card
Pet smart rewards card

Both Dick's and PetSmart have keytags that you can use instead of a full credit card size card. I know because I have both of them on my keyring.

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

for dicks they can look it up ... then you don't have to carry anything.

Actually, that's true for many places. It is usually filed by your phone number. At one local supermarket, for example, I just type my number into the keypad at the register where you swipe your credit/debit card. I never carry that card.

[marvholly]

Drivers license
Health insurance card (auto is in glove box)
Debit card
library card
Kohl's cc
Target cc
AARP card
Entenmann's Outlet punch card

Other cc & store gift cards are in other zip pouches in my purse on an as needed basis. I carry Target & Kohl's regularly because those places are often spur of the moment stops.

[Joan.of.the.Arch]

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.
