    Have you thought about having somewhere sensible to put your wallet?

    There are limited choices.
    1. My pocket.
    2. Valuables pocket in golf bag
    3. Valuables pocket in rucksack

    Since I’ve switched to a small credit card wallet, the convenience has to be balanced with the lack of conspicuousness

    I moved to one of those credit card size jobbers a while ago; more recently they brought out a version with an Airtag. It has saved my bacon on more than one occasion.

    Why don't you just add your cards to your phone and skip the wallet?

    I bought a credit card sized cigarette tin from Ice Nine in Hockley in 1998 - I've used it to keep my bank cards/loyalty cards + notes in since then and still have it today. 26 years! I've just taken a moment to kind of recognise how crazy that is.

    This, plus I installed a smart lock on the front door, meaning I only ever need to remember my phone when I leave the house.

    Thanks for this Russ, the Borough of Rushcliffe has just suffered a minor earth tremor, the epicentre of which is strongly suspected to be a keyboard in Cotgrave.

    I was toying with one of these for the new Seán Towers.

    I hope there's a Google version that necessitates Windows. The OS platform, I mean, not a bit of glass within the door.

    Coupled with the (electric) car being one of these new fangled keyless things, just get in and go, and given that it has not yet burst into flames on the driveway, we truly are living in a golden age.

    You can't add credit cards to Google Wallet I don't think (except Amex and it's a bit of a lottery if that's accepted or not).

    Edit seems some you can. Barclaycard which I use with my Amex you can't.

    I have all my cards on Google Wallet with the exception of my work CC, which I'm not allowed to.

    I've just had to replace my phone, but I'm pretty sure I had my HSBC credit card on there and my work Amex too.

    Yeah seems Barclaycard is an anomaly, not sure why.

    I quite enjoyed the old days when you went to town with as much cash as you could afford to spend, and when it was gone you walked home.

    Happier times.

    Apart from the rickets and being sent up chimneys.

    I've just worked bar all weekend at a festival full of kids in their 20s. Everyone had Monzo cards on Google Wallet/Apple Pay, with shared tabs with friends, and they all had multiple different cards to rotate through at 3am when one stopped working.

    And Amex can go do one, it just sends the payment machines into spastic mode.

    I use one of those small credit card wallets and while it initially took a bit of time to decide which cards to put in it, I love it now. I put tickets etc into my Google wallet but don’t much like the idea of having cards on my phone. If I’m going to lose something or have it nicked, it’s much more likely to be the phone than the wallet.

    Cards on phones can be secured by the phone lock, but I saw one instance where the tourist was observed unlocking the phone by PIN before it was nicked.

    There was a lot of money lost there. They had linked debit and credit cards.

    Face unlock would have worked way better.
