Unfortunately not with cash...

It's fifteen useless bits of sodding plastic!!!

2 x Access cards for customers sites
1 x Debit card
3 x credit cards only one of which I ever use
Nectar Card
Game Reward Card
Shell Reward Card
Premier Inn Business Account Card (classy)
Oyster Card
AA Card
Travel Insurance Card
BA Club Card
Gym Card

I feel a cull coming on..... Only problem is if I take out the ones I dont use on a daily basis I WILL forget to take them when I actually need the bloody things...

I've seen "what wallet" threads on here before when people say they take a debit card and nothing else out with them... I wish....

How much crap are you carrying around?

Leave all the pishy ones that have no value to a thief in your car glovebox. Then if you need them they are a short stroll away.
(Unless you are flying to see the AA on a BA flight after shopping in Game at the airport and staying in a Premier Inn.)

You're obviously the exception as most women I know have about a dozen cards, tons of change and every receipt they've ever been given.

One of my friends uses a metal business card holder thing for all his plastic and keeps his cash and the one debit card he uses all the time in his wallet. Quite a good plan actually, I may adopt this as I always seem to be breaking cards by sitting on them too.

out of that lot you really need,

1 credit card ( Amex do a nectar card which earns you the points on EVERYTHING you buy with it)
1 debit card (for cash)
2 Site access cards
1 oyster card

with options on the shell card and gym card (leave in your car)

all the rest you can state your name at the desk / phone and they'll find you.
