Lastly, if you're storing it in a briefcase/backpack/purse/etc and not in your pocket, something like this intended for organizing business cards might work if you absolutely have to have all of your cards with you at one time and even give you room to grow.
I use one of those to store loyalty cards, credit cards, etc. at home to keep everything in one place. Then, I just grab what I think I will need for each trip. Normally, it is credit cards that get swapped and lounge access. The loyalty cards just sit there. I can't remember the last time I was asked for one - the numbers are on my phone.

Even if you don't have a smartphone, you could set up a contact and add all your numbers. EIther as one large contact or with each program as another number.

I try not to carry more than 4 from the collection at a time.

Thanks for the suggestions, gents!

Does anyone use those AwardWallet.com cards with all your membership numbers printed on?

The right idea but probably too bulky. I'd go for one with a smaller capacity, and from Amazon UK. Thanks though

I went for something similar, in the end. It's a 60 pocket business card holder from ebay UK. Posted from Hong Kong and the price was £1.82, with free postage, so I don't know how they've made any money out of it!

Couple of pics:

Looks like it should do the trick... though I think you'll quickly learn it can be left at home 99% of the time.

I agree, though my coat has a *very* deep pocket in the lining, so that's where it has gone. A few other cards gone in there as well - hotels, Regus, local taxi business cards...

Just a note -

as a user of these for filing business card before the days of the palm pilot: The cards will stick to the plastic and will have difficulties in removal, paper stock as well as plastic stock.

Base on your photo and the price you paid for it; close enough.

Low cost Asian made with lowest cost material.

Anything with PVC pages like this will leach/stick over time. Keeping it out of the heat will help more than anything else.

Check out coin. Have not used it or know of anyone who has used it but sounds cool. On reviews that I have read, the only thing that it had trouble with was a subway pass because the card was too thick for the reader.
