How Do You Carry Your CC?

Anonymous — Sat, 23 May 2020 02:08:44 GMT

Would like to how people carry their cards and CC. Whether its a wallet, purse, card organizer, etc.

You can know a lot from someone just by how they carry their credit card.

Like to give credit where credit is due this was based on a funny post about a wallet. I will link below.

I usually just pocket the cards I need off my table. Wallets are bulky and mobile wallets make cards less used anyway. Just my ID + VS/Amex, unless I feel like carrying my wallet with a handful of bank and debit cards.

What you carry them with says less than the cards, though neither are really indicative of much. Student but I have pretty good TCL/credit/income, I wouldn't judge any book by its cover.

After getting annoyed with big wallets, I bought a Ferragamo Black Pebble Calf few years ago and been using it ever since. Still looks great. Its low profile but can hold DL and few cards!

I consider this a "large" minimalist wallet. Carrying: AMEX, BECU, Citi Costco, debit, DL, transit, and six half-folded bills. Admittedly, what I liked most about this wallet are the cutouts, how they display each card, and have easy access.

You don't usually hear someone pocket the cards. It shouldn't be a problem at all as long as its most convenient for you. Still do the cards get scratched up when its in your pocket?

Well that's a very high-quality wallet. I agree with is low-profile look. I wanted to look at the wallet online to see how it is. Oh boy, the price matches the quality that's for sure.

That looks very stylish, mind sharing what is your wallet. For research purposes lol.

I also have an average wallet. My cards have their own pocket, which I will miss dearly. It's just too bulky and I just shove it in my bag, which I am looking for more of something I can store in my pocket.

~~It's not like this post was made so I can find a wallet for me lol~~

Found it on Amazon. Unfortunately, its been sold out for awhile. Too bad, because I wanted a backup.

I have that one but mine came with a chain. I was having issues with my wallet slipping out of my pocket and after I lost it one time my old roommate/good friend bought it for me. I would replace it with something meant to actually accommodate a lot of cards but he passed away from a staph infection back in 2015 so it has that added sentimental value.

Right now right now... i am only using this:

If carrying one card and going very minimalist. I am still waiting for new cards so don't know which one i'll put in one sleeve. The bunq card is mine, i am a girl... but the image was just for example purposes. I don't really plan to use this card.

I've gone complete minimalist (dl/debit/1 revolver) ever since I got Samsung Pay. Sick. I have 10 cards with me at all times and it works with ANY old crappy card reader.

I really want to go minimalist, but can't seem to make it work. Before I even get to credit cards, there are already 6 cards I need to carry with me. I never carry cash (unless I need to grab it for tips before travel). Anyone know of any minimalist deigns that might work for carrying maybe 12-15 cards, half of which are metal?

Speaking of wallets, I came across this earlier and thought, "Wow! She has so many cards, she must be a MFer." Then I realized she has no Amex cards and all of the cards are stolen; we're better than that.

I also usually carry an individual card (or no card and just my phone for Apple Pay) in my pocket when I go out. I couldn't care less if they get scratched up - nobody cares what condition they're in as long as they work.

They do get scuffed by keys and the like over time, yes.
