I always marvel in the store watching people pull out a whole wallet with cards and proceed to pull one out, stick it in the machine etc. I don’t have a wallet. I have my license in my phone case and everything else is digital. Why would I still shlep physical cards with me??

Some stores still don't take pay by phone or even credit cards.

Was recently in a store and they had a sign cash only

Yup I do and I keep a bunch of cash on me as well. It’s good to have just in case

I don't have a wallet, cards and cash are all flying around my bag. I also hate having a bag on my shoulder so at this point they're all usually flying around in my coat pockets.

Curious how you keep your phone in your phone case. Is there a case outside the phone case specially for the license or you just literally put it inside the phone case?

I use Apple Pay in store and keep my wallet in the car so I always have my drivers license.

My phone case holds the cards I need. and some cash and ID. So my phone case is my wallet.

Some stores charge a fee for purchases under a certain amount if you pay by cc so cash comes in handy then.

I have a smart phone with a virtual wallet. I also have a physical wallet. I keep my drivers license, cash, cc, and insurance cards in there. Maybe im old school but if I have my wallet with me I'll always use a physical cc over apple pay

I have a small wallet like this one, just a different color and pattern https://www.amazon.com/Hersche.....r=1-4

I need my license, insurance card, restaurant depot card, store cards, business bank card, and an emergency bill stashed in the middle. There are places people shop that don't accept digital cards.

I have a smartphone and have what my lovely children call a bubby purse. And my flip phone children don’t have wallets. Go figure.

Same. They sell tons of cell phone cases that have a pocket for your drivers license and a couple of ccs. Many of them come with a strap of sorts and can be worn as a cross body. Very convenient!

Library card is on my keys, along with bingo card. Apple Pay to pay for anything. Insurance cards are on my phone

There’s other stuff I keep in a handbag and once you have that you might as well have a wallet inside

Where do you keep your car keys?

Where I live there are still some parking places with meters that need actual quarters

It’s nice to have a place where I know I’m always carrying around tissues, lip balm, bedikah cloths, sanitary products, bandaids, my work ID

I have a few credit cards and different ones give more points in different places, one gives extra for grocery stores, one for gas stations, one for pharmacies. I find it very easy to quickly see which one to use by having physical labels on each physical card. It’s a very old fashioned system but it works

Yes- I don’t keep my cards in my phone case. I prefer a separate wallet.

One reason is in case I want to ask a stranger to take a photo of my family on a trip. I dont want them having my license etc!

I have a wallet the size of a credit card. My cards are stacked in there. Cash is in the zipper of my purse (when I have it with me).
