What do you ACTUALLY carry in your wallet?

Not the ones that are sock drawered. I don't like a over cluttered wallet, but I do have a woman's style wallet that holds my sock drawered cards.

 

 

USAA debit card 1% Foreign Transaction fees and 5 free atm withdraws from any ATM in America. Can also transfer money from my Chase or BOA account immediately with the app if needed. (I only keep $500 in here so if someone steals it they won't get much)

 

Chase Sapphire 0% Foreign Transaction fees, 2 to 1 on travel and dining and nice shopping rewards mall which can get upto 20% discount on rotating items. and the sign up bonus was quite nice.

 

Amex BCP for 6% groceries, 3% gas and department stores.

 

---------------------

 

now next cards that could enter my wallet is

 

Amex Platnium cause I want the conserige service, free global entry, free club access at airports, free room upgrades etc.

US Cash +  for 5% off restaurants and 5% off on Bill pay.

Discover More in case I need to buy something online.

Another credit card that offers at least 1% cash back on every purchase.

A debit card in case I need cash.

 

Only 3 "money" cards

Re: What do you ACTUALLY carry in your wallet?

btw for your Walmart account you should call for a CLI. Call 877 379  8173 direct line to GECRB's underwritters. People are getting insane increases I went from 600 to 2500 in 1 call, people have gone from 1,000 to 10,000 and it's a soft check.

I went from 500 to 800 a week ago or something. I was afraid to ask for more since my card is only 2 months old.
