Hi Andy, I carry the new style flip Wilbest leather wallet with built-in card flip up, holding 6 non raised numbers cards, driving licence included, plus 6 cards in the wallet in the extra pockets, plus a concealed note pocket where I usually carry £50 in cash for emergencies. The wallet itself is only 3" × 4". Same as you my most used cards are Chase for everyday spend, Hsbc world elite for world travel, plus free access to all airport lounges, and the Revolute black Metal for worldwide exchange, also my Barclaycard Rewards card and my American express are used quite often too. So a total of 12 cards, carried all the time.. Love ❤️ your channel keep up the good work.
@Sam Bam Bam Ha ha Sam, my mistake it's not the Centurion, that's predicted text for you, lol. I honestly didn't notice, thanks for pointing it out and has now been amended. Cheers.
These days I have the Curve Metal, Amex Platinum, Starling (Backup), Driving license, Staff pass (2 cards) and a membership card in my wallet. 7 in total... However, like Andy I have accumulated a ridiculous amount of accounts. No wallet big enough for them all.
Really interesting video, Personally since the pandemic I got an iPhone holder that holds 2x cards - I usually hold chase or Halifax clarity and amex in it. I then use stocard and Apple Pay on Apple Watch for pretty much everything. I also hold just £20 emergency cash on a key ring holder and a £1 coin on key ring too.
I am the same, I carry Amex, Barclay CC and Chase Debit. Stocard for all my memberships and apple pay with all my other cards linked. 20£ in case and few coins.
I carry 4 cards. 1 visa debit, 1 visa credit, 1 mastercard debit, 1 mastercard credit. I don't have an amex. Loyalty cards on fobs, except boots is on their app.
Think it's only Barclaycard who don't allow connection to Google pay. HSBC do as I got a credit card just to avoid having to use my bank card. They're such a dinosaur bank but I like their interest rates
Dear Dan great channel but ...please use more cash then cards...don't make a banks richer. Go to the cash point - withdraw money and use them! Don't be that lazy! I had noticed that cashiers at supermarket are panicking when I use cash :-) and when I use 50 they call the manager! WTF? What wallet for cash do you recommend please? Cash is a power :-) Have a great day!
The only minus of having them on the phone is that some supermarket stores don't have a very good signal strength to allow you to open the wallet or app so that's the only reason why I still carry mine.
You don't need an internet connection at all to use Google or Apple Pay. You'll only need internet when first adding a card to your wallet but that's it
I've been doing the same for years too 👍🏻I only carry my Chase card, drivers licence and Sainsbury's credit card physically. The rest I use via ApplePay and it's great that Sainsbury's now supports that too. It took them a while to catch up on that. I stopped using Curve due to the Sect. 75 cover and the fact my cashback ran out ages ago so I don't see any point is using Curve at all now. I had forgot though that if I only want to carry one card, then Curve would be great for that. Thx Andy 🙂 P.S. may be worth mentioning about swapping AMEX cards that you won't get the big sign up bonuses if you've had an AMEX within 2 years. Sometimes it's only the sign up offer that is worth doing it for as the ongoing offers are usually rubbish.
@@BeCleverWithYourCash Thx for the video, however to be crystal clear here about AMEX bonus rules..... I have 2 AMEX cards but none of which were applied for within the last 2 years. Am I eligible for new card bonus offers? OR do I have to cancel them both and then wait 2 years?
@@Richard_Barnes Believe you need to cancel them and wait two years as they say you should not have opened or had a amex (that particular amex) in the past 2 years
For those without legacy advantages would suggest getting a Plutos card with 3% cashback adding the Curve subscription as a perk which basically means you get Curve Black for free.
11:10 HSBC definitely works with Google Pay, think it's only Barclays that doesn't support Google Pay, but they do support Apple Pay. Great video Andy!
@@kishanpatel5102 yes I can see why they don't support Samsung Pay, its not very commonly used and there's no real benefit to it anymore after they took the msg support away
I find that even these days you still have to carry a small amount of cash the number of times that I have gone into a coffee shop and their device for paying by credit or debit card is broken so you can only pay with cash
Being an android user I'm very annoyed with barclays not allowing Google pay. It's put me off using them as my non-amex back up credit card. I use the Lloyds bank cashback credit card where I need section 75 and they don't take Amex.
It's not barclays fault the android system allows companies to create payment systems which would be cheaper for them unlike apple who only allow apple pay.
@@H80989 you're quite right. I did look into it and discovered the fact of the matter reason why. But it bothers a lot of people and its barclays who are losing customers. People aren't switching to apple to get the best experience with barclays, they're going with other cards/accounts. I suppose barclays don't mind too much they have enough customers.
Hey Andy! Great video. I have a quick question. I’ve seen mixed answers online. I currently have the Amex everyday cash back card. Can I get the Amex gold Welcome bonus I’ve seen mixed answers and I’m not too sure.
Then the government can chose when, where and if you spend your money as part of the overall social credit system just like Canada did with the truckers.
Probably the only real and useful whats in my wallet video on RUclips 😂😂 👌🏼👌🏼
Didn’t realise there were others out there until I uploaded this!!
Haha was just about to say, too many US videos 😂
Literally every fan boi ever says this to all of the channels that make these xD

Did you write this big long comment just to mention you have a centurion card? "Amex" would have sufficed. Good for you 👍😂

You can also add your loyalty cards to google pay/ wallet. So, no need for an additional app
It’s the extra barcode scan feature of Stocard which I really like.
@@BeCleverWithYourCash google pay also offer barcode scan option. Stocard has the benefit of gift cards
You can store both loyalty cards and giftcatds inside Google Wallet.

This is a really good video please upload more content like this Andy !!
I always carry a £10 note for emergency as well as my debit and credit card, wouldn't just rely on my phone..
Thanks Andy. Great info as usual.
What do you do to avoid tax when you have covered all the ISA and savings + bonds ?
Excellent Review and Info. Thx Andy. Happy New Year🙏
Happy new year!
Wallet must haves:
AMEX
Barclaycard Avios
Curve X
NatWest Reward CC
Primary bank debit card
Nectar card
Clubcard
Clubcard is available on key fob.

Good to know! Thanks Samuel
I think Andy meant Samsung Pay. It only has around 10 banks so Curve or Samsung Pay + is the work around.
@@BeCleverWithYourCash no worries Andy!

I just carry my phone with me. Living in London it works for me. If I am out all day I carry my wallet.
I don’t think it’s too far away that cash machines and driving licences can be on phones and we can all go fully digital

Hey Andy, dishoom have opened a restaurant in Canary Wharf if you didn’t already know
I knew it was coming but didn’t realise it was already open! Thanks
1st - Thanks Andy (odd surname)
Some of the new ATMs are contactless
I think it’s only for Barclays on Android right now, and only some of their own machines.
Please anyone explain how you get discounted gift cards for the likes of asda and tesco? Thanks
Curve lost my custom once they started charging for more than 2 cards. I want to keep my money not waste it each month on "subscriptions"
Yeah, I’d not pay for it, especially as digital phone wallets can cover much of the need
Can i leave a new bank straight away after receiving the switch offer I.e first direct. Also if I opened the 7% saver and leave will that still run?
I did with Nationwide to go to First Direct.
@@AdieAdie17 oh OK so no penalty to leave straight away basically
@@Goady1000 you still need a first direct current account to keep the regular saver.
Plastic fantastic, CBDC’s will be much easier to roll out as we are cashless already for all intents
Then the government can chose when, where and if you spend your money as part of the overall social credit system just like Canada did with the truckers.
Warren Buffet still uses cash something he knows we don’t ?
If it's anything like mine, Moths.

Great shout. Had one years ago… wonder where it went
you don't need one now, everyone is opted in by default unless you opt out AFAIK
Anyone got a hack for getting discounted Tesco gift cards?
@andyclevercash do you have the name/link to the wallet please? Looking for one similar, thanks
