My time is split between UK and USA so they all get used. I have clubcards and loyalty cards but they're on my phone (tesco, starbucks, subway) and the one's that arne't like pets at home or rite aid I just give my phone number and they find it on the system.
I only usually carry one card

Cash I'll carry maybe £35 around in the uk and $200 in US.0 -

Tell you, I was impressed how fast Lloyds stopped my card & sorted a replacement, less so by Barclays (L transferred me direct - so just one call!) and even the (unregistered) asda giftcard had its balance transferred! Always good to know what you have though. So you can replace things.0 -

First-e I remember them! I think I had a cheque book (but no debit card) with them. Does anyone have a picture of the Club Lloyds Debit Card? From the Lloyds Bank website it looks black but can't tell very well.0

Old paper driving licence, no need for 10 year updates
bus pass...never used yet but maybe one day...NW debit and CC card for YOU points....Sainsbury's Nectar card for points...and a £10 note plus wrinkled old cheque, must be 2 years old, in case of emergencies. Plus loads of Homebase offers which means spending money, so hardly used.

I've been on a de-cluttering/get out of debt mission that last 6 months, so all the credit cards, and all of my spare debit cards, have been canceled/closed/chopped in two. Now my wallet is boring. :P0
