I'm not sure I want to be adding more to stuff to my wallet. In fact, I don't think I'll even be carrying a wallet in the near future with mobile payments quickly growing (Square Wallet, Google Wallet (NFC), Level Up, etc.) Google is also apparently launching a virtual physical card. It's great since you don't need to carry multiple cards. If it gets lost you can probably just disable Google's virtual card rather than having to call your bank and having your card killed/changed.

While payment via smartphone is certainly compelling, I carry many other things in my wallet: - Driver's license - Insurance (car/medical/dental) cards - Auto club membership card I'm not sure I want to have separate apps for these. Things like gift cards to restaurants (which I also carry around) could easily be replaced w/ an app, but there's something mildly compelling about a non-smart identifier for things like insurance / ID.
