Interesting way to get rid of all the CCs in your wallet

I've thought about getting the Google Wallet physical card but I only carry two cards as it is and I'd rather not put all of my eggs in one basket.

+1,000,000

Sent from my tactical assault shmart phone

Looks like a hackers dream...

nope.

I don't carry cards with my for a reason... I can't use them and get in more debt!! This will get me in a lot of trouble

Or have as many banks as you want, but only carry around cards for 1 bank and cash.

I bank at 4 banks for various reason, yet only 1 is my primary bank with two debits and one credit card. Thats what I carry around along with cash in case banks/card-readers go down.

Easiest way to slim your wallet is to get a basic wallet with slots that hold 2-4 cards with nothing between them. If you have a wallet with slots for each card that separates the cards with material, it thickens the wallet to a brick.

eta: Oh yea, and don't spend $100 to do what the banks already give you free (PVC cards that is). Because if I recall, the preorder price is $99 for this.

Pass.

Nah

www.bigskinny.com - Heard about them on this forum.

Been using this one for about a year; http://www.bigskinny.net/leather-hyb...er-skinny.html

I have several coming for 'research'.

At this point I would recommend my friends to steer clear for awhile.

That is a bad ass concept though. Pretty tempting for me!

all of those who rush to embrace new technology and social media are begging to be hacked, have their identity stolen, credit card frauded.

so you send your card off with the waiter so he can charge your dinner, he is a scum bag with a credit card duplicator under his shirt, oh guess what..... now he can duplicate all your cards at once.

no thanks,

Some wheels do not need reinventing.

The US is so easy to hack. We need credit cards that are actually smart cards with integrated encryption....like most of the rest of the world. The magnetic swipe is too easy to reproduce.

I've thought this every time I'm overseas and the recipient of my outdated CC asked why the U.S. hasn't done it but I've gotten to the point where I simply don't care anymore: if U.S. CC companies want to eat the loss, let 'em.

Wanna hack my account? Have at it, it's on AmEx's dime, not mine, go for it! -And to those that suggest such an attitude affects my interest rates, I pay it off in-full every month, so the CC can eat as much fraud as they want for all I care.

I'm sure the creidt card companies have weighed that option more than once and decided against it after an in-depth cost-benefit analysis. What makes sense to the consumer doesn't always make sense to the companies bottom line.

Why fix it when they can just keep raising fees? [Sarcasm2]
