Loyalty card wallets
I've got so many loyalty cards relating to travel that I keep them in a separate credit card wallet holder. It's got 15 pockets and I put two in each pocket.
However I've got more than the wallet holder can fit now, and I'd like one with 30 pockets. I've been around town today and can't find any that hold more than 15.
Does anyone know somewhere in the UK that stocks holders with a bigger capacity, or a website that sells them?

Here is what I use for my day to day "wallet" - with maybe 4 credit cards, health card, DL, etc.
And I use the same for my stack of hotel/airline/rental cards which go in my carryon bag.

Actually, a handful of those are a must pack in our roll-on/suitcases. Weigh NOTHING and take ZERO space, and sure can come in handy. If we pack some snack items in the carryon, and leave a bit of air in them, they stay safe. Nothing like reaching for some crackers only to find them smashed to the point you need a straw to eat them.

That's a lot of cards! Can you downsize your physical card count? Lots of cards are now available on an app and I've moved the majority of my cards to my phone. Hotels don't seem to care if you have the card or not - the number is usually fine.
The only loyalty cards I carry all the time are my two airline cards and Diners Club for occaisional lounge access.
(Unless of course you have a card fetish, in which case, fill your wallet and enjoy!)

I would agree that hotels and airlines really don't care about the cards.
Credit cards, or even airline cards that get you into lounges are another story. Carry those for sure. I do travel with at least two credit cards and two ATM cards. My wife has different credit cards(accounts) just in case.

Not sure if it's useful, but I hate carrying more cards than necessary, so for my Clubcard and Nectar card I scanned them to a computer, shrunk them to a small size (about the size that the keyring fobs are if you've seen them?), printed double sided then laminated. It's much more convenient to carry and can be scanned easily at the checkouts etc. Perhaps you could do something similar with your cards?

There are a few that go on every trip and stay the computer bag.

I agree with the others that very few are ever really needed. To take the scan/laminate idea a bit further, why not just laminate a list of the actual numbers for each program... an agent can usually work with that without the need to swipe/scan a strip/barcode.
Lastly, if you're storing it in a briefcase/backpack/purse/etc and not in your pocket, might work if you absolutely have to have all of your cards with you at one time and even give you room to grow.
