What cards do you keep on you?

My wallet only has 6 slots.

One side:
Any Amex (currently BAPP)
Virgin Atlantic Reward+
Driving licence

On the other side:
Any debit card (currently HSBC UK Premier)
Two empty slots usually for anything I need on the day

In the middle pocked I always keep £10. Usually a Bank of Ireland note to confuse people when going to England.

Currently:

side slot#1 - :monzo: Flex
side slot#2 - Science Card (won’t last)
middle slot - :monzo: Joint account, :monzo: Max, Driving License, BA Amex, GHIC, backup verification codes for Google account and Crypto wallet clues. Soon to have Monzo QR code too?

It’s in my shoe. Along with the extendable blades if I click my heels together. When it kicks off…

Depends really, if they knew what it was and what to do with it.

I’m guessing the code won’t work randomly from your camera app, solely within the monzo app so their system can translate it opposed to general mish mash of whatever it looks like elsewhere.

Pluxee is my cashback card (care workers)
Monzo current and Monzo flex
Driving licence is also in my Apple wallet (physical MagSafe wallet) :blush:

Cut my cards drastically as didn’t need all the other accounts

Only these cards all of the time

HSBC Premier Debit
HSBC Premier Credit
HSBC Global Money
Driving licence.

Occasionally:
Monzo as holiday backup
Wife’s debit card (which by the way she asks me to carry, she normally uses Apple Pay)

Monzo, Amex, Barclaycard, ID

ID
Monzo if ApplePay has played up recently

More likely to carry a powerbank than any plastic card

Not yet, but I think the guys behind the scenes are working on it (I work in the department that will one day implement it).

Good question. I will enquire (too many on holiday at the moment, so it will be a while before I get a reply).

ID on phone would be amazing - just bars or bank branches, etc aswell?

Not exciting! Amex Gold (but will go back to the Platinum everyday to avoid the annual fee). Barclaycard rewards, the one for foreign travel. I especially like how you don’t pay interest on foreign cash withdrawals.

To be honest, I only got it for the airport lounge access. Otherwise I prefer the platinum everyday as I’d rather get the cash back than points.

So will swap it out soon.

Barclaycard avios card :grinning: amex just irritates me that I have to have two cards incase they don’t take it…

I was on Eurostar the other week and the lounge would’ve been great - missed that benefit!

Instead I spent 90 minutes standing in a queue in a station that stank of piss, getting harassed by drug addict beggars. Not an experience I will be rushing to repeat.

How do you do that?

I have no idea where my physical card is :joy:

Download the Costco app and IIRC you have to get it authenticated at your warehouse. For some reason you can’t use the barcode for petrol :man_shrugging:t3:

Most of the time I just take my phone but if I’m driving or going out for the day, I’ll take my wallet.

In my wallet -

Starling Debit
Nectar Amex
NatWest Rewards
Santander Edge
Lloyds Cashback
Driving Licence

Google Wallet
Starling
Monzo & Monzo Flex
NatWest Rewards
Amex Nectar
Lloyds
Santander Edge
