Poll: Do you still carry a wallet or purse?

[Diddums]

No, I carry one of those little Adidas man purse things, great for carrying both my phones, my fags and lighter weed grinder and my sanitary products.

Excellent bits of kit and I look like a genuine aspiring gentleman wearing it too.

Swapped to the A-Slim "@Raymond Lin" special edition wallet a few months back too, works well, no complaints here. I would have gone phone only but both platforms are still fairly limited on what can be stored, so it's a no-go at the moment.

No wallet for me. I have cargo pants. One pocket has my plastic. Another goes in the poo bags, a few dog treats, then there is some loose change, a pen knife, a mask, travel card, some tissues, etc but no wallet.....

All my club cards are on the phone app now. Nectar card, Tesco Club Card, Waitrose. I used to do what you do too.

All my bank cards too are on my phone as well. a Double click on the power button brings it up.

Still need physical cards incase for whatever reason i need to get cash out for some donuts that dont accept it (like all the taxis round here) and pay at pump, unfortuantely.
But yeah, the incentive point cards I could use apps now.

Just a warning, If you need to carry your physical cards on you just in case contactless goes down in a shop. Our contactless system went down earlier this year for a few hours and we had to put signs up saying if paying by card, needs chip n pin. Customers tried to pay contactless. Also know your PIN as your bank, NOT the shop will randomly ask you to put your PIN in.

Surprisingly I still tend to carry my wallet more often than not, and the worst bit is that I very rarely use it because I always pay on my phone.

I guess subconsciously I always think what if.

It'll be awesome when they can finally virtualise things like your driving license so you could store that on your phone without needing the real thing.

i carry the same cheap "animal" style velcro wallets as i did as a kid in the 80`s.

i bought a fancy custom handmade leather wallet and thought it was a downgrade in many ways

 

[Blackjack Davy]

I've never carried wallets ever I just hope they don't fall out my pockets (yes I still have a physical card)

Oh that happens quite often in various stores but I know my pin I still think of contactless as a "new" thing for some reason (my mother doesn't get it at all she always uses a pin and is amazed when I just grab the card and swipe it for her)

Use my phone for everything, only take wallet for ID for going abroad/long drives where I might need a real card for petrol (although that hasn't happened in probably 4 years now).

 

[moon man]

The Halifax app can tell you your pin if you bank with them ,cards in a zip up trouser pocket,I like to be streamlined

 

[cheesefest]

I have female customers who have no purse but throw cards and money into their handbags. They spend ages rooting for their card. No idea how can they live like that.

 

[dunker]

i carry a wallet that holds my cards, and a space for notes and pouches for coins. it's canvas
and very light. had it since 1994?ish.

That’s a suicidally mental idea.

And yet, these things have been around for decades.
You should see the ones designed to carry the really large vape mods....

I've been going to a few car boots recently so cash and coins are a must. I routinely leave without my phone when going various places as i just don't want it on me, so the wallet comes with me. But if i must take the phone, keys and wallet then a bag comes to, least i can carry a drink, jacket, etc. Though i vary what i carry, sometimes i just take a card out and that's it.

Phones are just too cumbersome and a liability now for me to warrant the phone payment thing.

 

[Efour]

Just me with a purse then?

You guys make me sick.

[Rroff]

Still carry a black leather wallet cards, cash, not so much in the way of coins these days unless I get some in change which I don't tend to keep in my wallet. Also keep a couple of micro SD cards and stuff in there as well.
