- Visa

ATM/Checking Cards
- Police Credit Union
- Wells Fargo
- Chase Bank
- Starbucks gift card (might still have a balance)

- Proof of insurance
- Health insurance card
- AAA card
- Hilton VIP card
- CVS discount card
- Barnes & Noble discount card
- Office Depot rewards card
- Best Buy rewards card
- Foodie Club reward card
- Whole Paycheck Bread Card (Rustic Italian, baby)

Why? Just in case you get the impulse to go back to w*rk? :LOL:


Actually my license is coming up for renewal and I'm thinking of renewing it . I've had the license for forty two years so what's another two years .I want to be ready in case I find a great medical mission who want a very very experienced nurse !

Before we left home on our current trip, I took my Library card out of my wallet and replaced it with the 2nd Visa CC.....also took my passport card out and left it in the safe. And I lost my grocery store discount card somewhere at some time, so I need to grab a new one when I get home.

Besides all that in my wallet, in my pockets I carry 3 USB thumb-drives, a spare set of keys (house, car, garage, etc), a comb, some loose change, a few $1's (for tips, vending machines, etc), 2 bandannas, cellphone, and nail clippers....plus my main set of keys clipped on my belt.

Geez.....and I'm probably forgetting some stuff too!:D

I carry only the American Express Centurian (black) card.

If I was, for example, hiking in the Himalias and wanted to be air-lifted out for a black-tie affair. I would use my sattelite phone to call the number on the back of the card for immediate helicopter support.

Or if I needed to rent at the last minute an entire bull-fighting arena then they could arrange that.

My life has been so much better since I was accepted into the world of American Express Centurian.

The fees were only $5k to start and another $2.5k annually but it is well worth it.

When I use it people are impressed.

That's what I use too...a credit card case, made of genuine imitation leather! It a whole lot less bulky than a regular wallet, and easier to fit in my front pocket. (I can't handle sitting on a wallet...makes me sit lopsided, and messes my back up!)

Are you being serious? Do you have a Centurian? And if the answer is yes, is the card worth it?

You just never know when, for example, you need to rent a villa on the Cote' d'Azur to attend the Cannes film festival for you and your entourage. They would be able to arrange all the details including security, standby limo service, housekeeping and food service via master chefs. And all with one call.

So yes, for me it's worth it.

Pfft. My honey, an Iphone, and warcruising for an interweb connection and we're good to go. I don't even need to call - I just give her a look, and say "you know that thing, you know, the thing I was thinking about the other day..... that we could go to or sumpin?...." and zipzap - she's got us hooked up.. My honey - don't leave home without her.
