Gentlemen... where do you keep your wallet?

JJ 911SC · 02-11-2021, 03:57 AM

Briefcase, car, niche corner pretty well anywhere except my in my pockets. On vacation, in the side camera pouch.

I want to be like you

no wallet, no keys, less stuff but can't figure out what to do with my drivers license and health insurance card. What do you do with them?

Snap a pic of the front / back of said cards...I'd suggest some form of password on your device for certain if going this route.

I wish that could work, here in NJ we have to physically carry our drivers license otherwise we get fined. But I do like the health insurance idea.

Lol....me too on the REAL wallet. My friends laugh at me.

I was having back issues a few years ago and a masseuse suggested I remove my wallet when I get in the car. They claimed it was throwing my hips out of alignment. They were correct. A few weeks after I began removing the wallet from the rear pockets while sitting in the car the pain subsided and has yet to return!!

Exact for me many years ago...went to a clip[ and never looked back.

CTinline-six · 02-11-2021, 09:33 AM

I have what is basically a money clip/minimalist wallet. A few cards, driver's license, and some cash. Wallets were just too bulky.

thestimp · 02-11-2021, 10:31 AM

I usually only have my phone on me, house has smart locks, i use android pay everywhere, car key would be my only other carry. If i do have a wallet its just a ridge wallet with my ID and credit card.

My next project is to deskin my fob so its just a flat board and mate it to my phone case or something. The BMW fob is so fat and stupid.

KenB925 · 02-11-2021, 10:54 AM

Right front pocket minimalist wallet, ID/couple credit cards, left front pocket money clip.

Capt Crunch · 02-11-2021, 11:09 AM

Credit card and license on the back of my phone. Can't rely on ApplePay 100%. I really wish I could get rid of my car key but I don't want to get rid of my F80.

If I need to take my driver's license or card it goes in my phone sleeve(no phone case either, haha). For my health insurance card, luckily all services are available with facial recognition and phone number.

jsf721 · 02-14-2021, 06:11 PM

Just switched from a bi fold rear pocket wallet to a Distl Union micro. Holds my 10 cards and $ 100 bill and a $20.00 bill

vreihen16 · 02-14-2021, 07:09 PM

^^^ Thanks for this tip! ^^^

I'll be ordering one in a few days.....

e90335e36m3 · 02-14-2021, 09:07 PM

Hate wallets. Smartphone credit card cases are the best thing since sliced bread. Can't think of a single reason why I'd need more nor have I ever needed more than one method of payment and an ID on me. All I ever carry is my phone.

jsf721 · 02-14-2021, 09:35 PM

Don’t I wish. How do you do it.

Personal Credit card
Business credit card
Driver license
AAA card
Costco
BJs
Peter Lugar
Foodie card -Restsurant discount card
LIBRARY card

Me too. Solved a big problem. Thought it was my car seat. All good now.

🤷If I'm going to Costco, or a specific store, I'll take the card of course, my corporate card is in my work backpack but that only gets used for business travel. I just swap out my corporate card for my personal card which also goes in my backpack for personal expenses during travel.

I've mastered the one card at a time thing. Plus, it keeps me from losing stuff. When I think card, I automatically think phone and id. One less thing to lose. Plus I don't have a bulging ass all the time and it's quick and easy to get cards in and out of my phone.

Glen e · 02-14-2021, 10:03 PM

I haven’t carried a wallet in probably three years. My iPhone has two slots in the back for a visa credit card and my drivers license, but for everything else I use my AW6 and Apple Pay. I keep a $20 bill in my owners manual in the car in case I need some type of cash, so far I haven’t had to access it yet.

I have about six or seven cards, many of them listed above, that I’ve taken pictures of and created and inserted in a doc file in my photos, such as my insurance cards. . 98% of the time showing somebody that photo so they can grab the front and back #’s works fine.

shimmy23 · 02-15-2021, 06:22 AM

I don't remember

c1pher · 02-15-2021, 06:26 AM

I used to carry a wallet until it got big enough to start causing back issues. I keep my wallet in my briefcase/ computer bag and only carry my two IDs and two primary cards in my front pocket. Plus I have Apple Pay just in case someone takes it.

MJBO · 02-15-2021, 06:31 AM

I mostly pay for stuff with Apple Pay these days (NFC/PayWave/PayPass is basically standard everywhere in Aus), but I do carry my drivers licence, a credit card and a $50 note in my Apple MagSafe Wallet. Love not having a separate wallet when out and about.

RMachuca3d · 02-15-2021, 03:16 PM

Used to be old school and keep it in my back pocket.... until its seriously started messing with my hip since i'm one of those with a giant wallet... so minimized and now i carry it in my front pocket.
