    Purse:
    HSBC Debit card
    HSBC Credit card
    Tesco clubcard

    Everything else stays at home in my handbag.
    All that glitters is not gold.

    Here's mine!

    Child & Co Bankers Visa Debit (everyday card)
    Capital One Platinum Mastercard (splurge card)
    Nationwide Visa Debit (spare account)
    3 MetroBank Debit Mastercards (bills, buy to let & ebay)
    Coventry Link Card (savings)

    Bank Of America Debit Visa
    Discover it Card (Emergency Card)
    Capital One Classic Platinum Mastercard (Everyday card)
    Capital One Platinum Prestige Mastercard (large purchases)
    Citi Forward Visa (cellphone bill)
    Barclaycard Rewards (for gas)

    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

    In the UK that's my Child Bankers & in the US my Capital One Classic Platinum.

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

    I use Child and Co. They seem to be very good (18months use so far).

    I recently had my puurse pickpocketed, so I went back to a wallet.
    On a chain.

    In wallet today:
    Lloyds card
    Barclays card
    tesco/nectar/morrsons miles/asda gift cards (asda card 'empty')
    john lewis/other eats & coffee purveyors cards
    costco card
    stamps
    first aid chit (hm - must sign up for refresher soon)
    railcard (more a gesture of hope than used, so far)
    silver sixpence (wedding coin carried "so you always have money"...)
    photos of family (ancient & modern, passport & recognisable)
    sundry coupons (all folding money sent to school this morning.)

    back of iphone
    waitrose card
    (There was an emergency fiver - that Also went to school.)

    'cards wallet'
    Boots Advantage Card
    Holland and Barrett Rewards for Life Card
    Waterstones Card
    Family library cards (they know us rather well)

    stored at home
    Oyster Cards
    EHIC Cards for all family
    Starbucks Card (probably going out of date)
    Lancashire Xplorer pass (museum admission card, to be renewed)
    IKEA Family Card (belongs with coffee cards, really)
    CADW membership cards for all family

    And several more, but I think they're out of date (English Heritage etc).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    NatWest Debit Card
    University ID
    Oyster Card
    National Express Coach Card
    Book of stamps
    Small photo of family

    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. :P
