Re: Do you bring all your cards when you travel?

I bring two cards, three tops. My Amex and one of my Visa or MC's. If my wallet is stolen, I don't want all of my cards compromised.

I'd say Barclay wouldn't. Lol

Also, I'm digging that tumi wallet.

Lol thanks.  I have a satchel that matches, and am watching the prices like a hawk on the 21" intl suitcase that also matches! Its $625 but I should be able to swing it for half that if I am lucky. Yes, prices are insane, but this stuff is good for life.

 

The other one that is neat is in orange. Tumi alpha orange wallet should show it. What looks REALLY cool is matching that wallet with this messenger: http://www.barneyswarehouse.com/tumi-alpha-bravo-beale-mini-messenger-00505042576815.html on sale for $83 bucks, normally $200. Get extra cash back from ebates 2.5% off that.  :-)

 

This is my setup:

Re: Do you bring all your cards when you travel?

I only carry a couple of my higher limit cards if I travel and leave the rest in the safe. I do however switch out cards every few months just to keep everything active. I would have to get a larger wallet if I carried all my cards on a travel adventure lol.

I carry a large wallet which stays in the room safe. My carry wallet can hold maybe 6-7 cards. 

 

My desk wallet (while at home) or safe wallet (while in a hotel) holds like 20 i think.

I never carry all of my cards even when I'm home. I usully carry one specifically for emergencies and a few others.

Re: Do you bring all your cards when you travel?

I carry my normal wallet when traveling (domestic or international). If someone tries to take it, I will chase them down. I've done it before.

Credit cards and debit cards are easily and quickly replaced. What I really take care of are my government issued ID and my phone. My phone I keep with me at all times. When traveling internationally, I walk around with my passport. When traveling domestically I have my DL.

I know internationally it's different, but I'm speaking more so domestically since I have some trips coming up. I normally bring my entire wallet but I feel like this wouldn't be the best idea. I don't think I would need a gas/grocery card if I'm going on a trip. I'm thinking perhaps the card(s) I booked my travel on (normally CSP)my Venture for incidental travel purchases, a dining card and whatever card I'm currently using for non-category spending, which is my AAdvantage. Also Macy's if I decide to go shopping. Are there upsides/drawbacks to leaving some cards at home? What do you guys do? Last thing I want to do is be left vulnerable and out of money if heaven forbid I get pickpocketed.

I usually take all of my cards with me however; I keep 2 or 3 of the cards locked up hidden in my luggage.
