No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I started doing the minimalist approach about 1 year ago. (used to do the bifold about 1/2inch thick)
under $10 from amazon.
has two slots on each side plus the center. so 5 total
I keep it in my front pocket now. for multiple reasons. (only about 1/4inch thick)
usually only carry 2 personal cards and 1 biz card. Sometimes a gift card for my local grocery.
then my drivers license in the middle along with a $20 or whatever.
I still routinely see the folks come into my stores and whip out the
"no joking" 4-5 inch thick wallets and always think, wow, just wow.
I use a little black leather bifold wallet with card slots on the inside *and* outside. Paper money is held in the centerfold by a money clip. Got it on ebay for $9. Still breaking it in but I like it.

My dilemma is that I've now got so many cards (good problem to have!) that I can no longer carry them all in my bulging wallet. So I need to find a larger and/or more efficient way of carrying my cards.
I could buy a big leather wallet specifically for carrying cards, but that wouldn't fit in my hip pocket. I like to carry my cards on my person in case I need them. So I need to find a wallet big enough to carry lots of cards but small enough to fit in my pocket. Maybe there is no such animal?
Perhaps another solution would be to use my regular wallet for the cards I use often, and keep the others that I don't use as frequently (e.g., hotel cards) elsewhere? What do you do?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
My choice is a simple leather bifold that has slots for 10 to 14 cards. I tend to avoid expensive wallets as mine may experience the washing machine.
I’ve lost count of the number of wallets that my labs have eaten so I tend to stick to cheap ones.
On the issue of RFID blocking wallets. While I am sure they have a place, the whole issue of your card data being stolen from your wallet is way overblown. Very few cards are contactless and even then the chance of it happening are very minimal. It was overblown for TV news and YouTube but hardly a major area of concern
To minimize back pain I had taken to keeping my wallet in my desk or the center console of the car, but I was worried about someone walking off with it, so I got a slim, front pocket wallet from Forrest and Harold. Nice pebble grain leather with a money clip. Carry 5-6 cards and ID and it fits in my left front pocket...keys and phone go in the right. No longer wearing a rectangle in my right rear pants pocket and a little less back pain.

This is my favorite wallet.
Bosca Weekend Wallet
Telling from your signature, I would carry your Platinum, Reserve and Blue Cash. Carry your license in the 4th slot. Carry your debit card inside if you must. Fits inside the front pocket smoothly, no bulge, and an eye catching sleek look.









I use a LV Portes Cartes Double for my daily cards that I always carry (1 Debit, 3 CC, and my license in the center slot):
For the rest of my cards (business debits, insurance ID, reward cards, access cards etc), I use an elephant "wallet" that I just throw in my bookbag or hide in my car.
These are images from the internet, I have a lot more cards than shown in that second picture in my elephant wallet.
Here's the Wallet I use...
I love the minimalist wallets. Makes you scan your wallet on what you really need to carry on you.
I just bought a Forrest and Harold wallet because of this thread... been wanting one for a while and have been holding off.
Glad I came to this part of the forum hahahaha.
This is my wallet of choice:
$13 on amazon, decent quality, fits my small purse.
My other cards are in a flip-book wallet that I keep in our safe- I don't have a picture of that one.
