I sign up for the rewards cards, but usually throw them out or put them somewhere & forget about them.

I just use my debit card for most everything.

Mrs. Tek has so many cards in a little purse thing she carries that she has to fight to get them out, and usually can't find the one she wants.

I take a step or two away when she pulls that thing out because she gets upset when I laugh about it.

She is a very organized person so that purse makes no sense to me.

During the week, I had usually left for school before the postman came.

Here in Australia, Saturday mail was canned donkey's years ago - and our mail boxes are at the front gate.

I have two credit cards (one I never use - it costs me nothing to have it so it's just for emergencies), one supermarket reward card (just for points - no credit attached to it) and one debit card. I also have the obligatory NRMA card (like your AA or AAA card).

We'll be joining you soon ,Kobber. The US Postal Service has been talking about discontinuing Saturday delivery for a long time. They are closing a lot of offices and the disappearance of Saturday delivery is right around the corner.

Let's see one credit card, one AAA card, one AARP card, 3 grocery rewards cards, that's it.

I remember when postal service was 2X a day 6 days a week and 3 cents for 1st class and 1 cent post cards. Oh we had airmail too for a penny more.

I've long refused to patronize grocery stores that require cards. My card-less grocery store has served me too well over the years.

Being in Las Vegas, to get any discount at any of the casino's, you need a rewards card for a cheaper priced buffet. That's potentially how many more cards?

No thanks! I carry a very thin wallet!

Might be fewer than you think. One of our cards works at a bunch of casinos. I can't remember which one, but one them bought up a bunch of the others.
