Poll: Do you still carry a wallet or purse?

[something daft already!!]

It strikes me that my wallet is mostly just bulk in my pocket. I don't carry cash and I use my mobile phone to pay for things. I just carry my wallet due to habit and I guess and just in case. It does contain my driving license, condoms and Nectar card.

Do you still carry a purse or wallet?

 

[Freakbro]

Yep, but I think it's got to do with me getting old or something, so the young 'uns tell me

I've been using a trove wallet for four years, I did try ridge wallet last year but found it too firm.

I carry my curve card, a credit card and driving licence.

In terms of cash I always try to keep £100 which folds nicely.

All my loyalty cards are stored in an app.

As a top revenue earner, I would never leave the house without my Gucci wallet.

 

[chroniclard]

Not had a wallet for a long time, couple of cards is all I carry.

 

[Lopéz]

Yes. Many places here only accept cash (including dentists and doctors), and I also have things such as my ID card, driving licence, and public transport card which I need with me at all times.

No Gucci, but a Paul Smith wallet I've had for something like 10 years now.

One needs one to hold ones bus pass.

usually just a single bank card in plastic bag - abandonned wallet during covid - reducing fomite contamination risk.
... god need to have some kind of holster for a mobile phone dam things jangling in your pocket is annoying - how do they sell phones bigger than i5s say.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I have one, but it's more a card holder. It holds about 5 cards. I take it when I am going to places where I might need to use the card or take money out.

Most days I just have my phone, with a £20 tucked inside the phone case.

I always take my wallet with me, I like to keep some notes with me just in case, plus it has my driving licence in it and the cards I do use (not all are on my apple pay setup) even if some are only occasionally (like my company mastercard). It also gives me a place to put my receipts in case I need them for expenses.

Keys and wallet only these days. Might even replace my front door lock with a keyless entry system.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Just a card holder with licence, a spare tenner and my cards that won’t go on my phone. Haven’t used a big wallet in years and years.

I carry a wallet, I keep £20 note in for times a shop only takes cash and the rest is just cards. Wallets will be a thing of the past soon when we become a cashless society.

I have a leather cover with a clip so that the phone is inside my pocket but clipped on. Mind you it is a Motorola RAZR style so not very big.

Soon being how long?

I’ve got a leather wallet from M&S that I got my dad for Christmas back in 1997. When he died in 2008 my mum gave it back to me, and I’ve used it ever since.

 

[Uther]

Yep, always carry a bit of cash, debit/credit card, driving licence. Started using my phone more to pay contactless though. Still feels weird, being a bit of a luddite.

 

[Scam]

It does contain my driving license, condoms and Nectar card.

Never get caught without protection, especially during that 8am commute on the tube

I've been using a trove wallet for four years,

Looks good, I've been meaning to 'upgrade' to something like that.

even if some are only occasionally (like my company mastercard)

Yeah same. My company card doesn't work on Apple Pay.

Our local grocers is cash only so I continue to use a 'regular' wallet. I don't carry coins though, although having said that now I am going back to the gym I need to save my 20ps for the locker...

I now use Apple express transit on the tube which is fab, but unlike others I still wear a mask when in shops so using Apple Pay for that is more tedious than pulling out my credit card for contactless.

I still carry a wallet but could probably change to a small card holder instead

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I do carry a ‘wallet’ but it’s tiny Secrid card holder, and only fits 5 cards and does RFID blocking duties. I never carry any cash.
