At least in WA state, vehicle insurance card can be electronic. Health insurance card is electronic. That leaves an ID, one CC (in case "they" don't take Apple Pay), and a Health Saving Account card that oddly cannot be added to Apple Pay. Looking in the wallet, I guess I carry my credit union debit card, too.
The point is not to brag, but point out that two of those cards get taken out because there are electronic alternatives. Some states allow electronic driver's licenses, too. Subtract those three, and there's your "3-4" in your wallet. And a fuel card, FFS, for a fleet card that couldn't be an NFC/RFID fob like Exxon has had for a decade? Which in turn might as well be a reader on the pump for your NFC payment of choice.
- dzhiurgis 6y agoWhy wouldn't you leave fuel and vehicle insurance card in the car itself?
- mikestew 6y agoI suppose you would, and I print a copy for each vehicle and do just that. So I suppose it doesn't save anything, wallet-wise, but I keep electronic cards for each vehicle just because it's probably easier to find when it's needed than digging through that black abyss of a glove box. Fuel card I don't carry, but I can picture parent comments having a fuel card attached to their name, but they might drive a different vehicle each work day ("fleet card" tells me it's for work, not personal).
