    I mean you don’t know. While you’re getting all new stuff…try a phone wallet app. I only have 1 physical CC in my wallet plus some cash if needed. The tap to pay uses a dummy CC#, it’s very secure, so even if stores get hacked your info is safe. A lot of people don’t know this…phone wallet app is very very safe.

    I have 1 physical CC but have access to all 5 CCs via phone wallet app for tap to pay.

    Also recommend a small front pocket wallet. Easier on the back, it’s less prone to slipping out/getting stolen, and if you’re looking for a brand-specific recommendation I like Trayvax with its 65-yr heirloom warranty. It’s a wallet for life. 🙂

    Good on you locking the cards via their apps. 👍👍👍

      Actually how I paid for groceries. I’ve also already replaced the card via app and it was instantly available for my wallet app too. Gonna try using that more and see how comfortable I am with bringing less or no ccs with me. A few stores I hit still can’t tap, but they are much less now.

      As for the front wallet, kinda actually the issue. I haven’t put my wallet in back pocket for years. Most of my pants have a zippable side/leg pocket that I put the wallet in, but today I wore different pants so used front pocket, but using a belt clip on the pocket lip(the main wallet on the inside). I thought I’d feel if it came out but I was wrong.

      I still will go for something small,and likely never use the clip part. I’ll check out the brand you mentioned.
