Howdy folks,

Just wanted to pose a question that I'm sure some of you have answered.

What cards (FF/Reward/Loyalty) do you carry with you?

I have cards from a variety of airline, hotel and car rental companies. But I am by nature a light packer. At the moment I carry none of the cards. My most frequent travel is done with AA, Delta, Hilton, Marriot, Avis and National. (AA, Hilton, Avis getting a majority).

I don't carry their cards, as my number/id is put directly into my reservation and if they don't have it, I can look it up on my laptop.

But - I was wondering if anyone here does carry their card, and if so why? I've noticed that many have a magnetic stripe, and most have raised letters (imprintable).

This got me to thinking that perhaps there was an advantage to carrying them?

Any thoughts, comments, etc... would be appreciated.

Keep the faith,

Pakse
