      If you are more likely to lose your phone than your wallet, sure. Thats not my case so it males sense for me. It also prevents me from carrying stuff I dont need. Replacing a picture ID and canceling a few cards is trivial.

        Yeah let me just call my bank and- Ah, oh yeah, phone gone. DMV at least is all online now.

        Btw, not all of us have only such trivial cards. If they get my wallet they also have access to some shit they shouldn’t through an RFID badge and another nondescript card I have to pay $100 and visit the sherriff’s office to replace, and a sentimental item or two that are irreplaceable, think family photos. I even have a decoy wallet lol, (rather a money clip with the “here, take it” cash and no cards) so they can steal that and if they get my phone too, fine but at least I’m not fucked with one move.

          Yeah its really a perspective and lifestyle thing, although I’m at the point where I might actually turn something down if it meant I was required to carry around any more than I do now unless it was worth it, like for a job.

          I won’t even do small chain rewards cards or any of that nonsense, and none of their apps work with a degoogled phone anyways, so I just pay extra to not have to deal with it.
