I read this tip over at Gizmodo this week and I thought it was a great idea. You know how you have all those cards cluttering your purse and wallet? Cards for the gym, cards for the library, cards for school, cards, cards, cards. It can be quite maddening sometimes, and they’re so easy to lose when you’re always pulling them out and putting them back.

Just take pictures of your club cards (Costco, Safeway, Blockbuster), import them into your iPhone as an album, and trim down the number of cards you have to carry in your wallet. When you need to use a card, just whip out your phone and show it to the cashier, hoping that they don’t get too uppity about your cleverness.

Now, how clever is that? As long is the card isn’t one that needs scanned this tip should work for you. In addition to that I would also say that it’s not a bad idea to upload copies of your ID’s, license, school ID etc to your iPhone also… that way if your wallet is lost or stolen and you still have your phone you can show proof that you’re in fact you. Got to love our technology.
