Or you could just use Google Wallet.... although the Wallet Card is just a regular card that you can fund from any source via the Wallet app. COIN is "cooler" techwise... personally I wouldn't waste my money on one, no.

The only thing that turns me off about it is that they approximate battery life at two years, and once the battery dies, you have to replace it.
$50 a year to rid my wallet of 6-8 cards? Probably not gonna happen, but like the idea. |

I started out skeptical, and then thought it was cool when I saw the little button that switched cards. But as I thought more, I realize that I'm all about risk control on money stuff. If you lose that thing or the battery dies, you're completely screwed. If I carry three cards, the odds are that one of them will work and get me home if I suddenly find myself in the Yukon.

That would be nice but I generally only carry two cards plus my license.

I rarely carry cash, but recently I've been trying to do so. Like $40 or so.
I went out to a bar with my brother the other night for a beer or two. I go to pay via cash, and I only had $20.

not PCI compliant, and someone in the know on another site doesn't think it's likely it will be certified. And battery life of 2 years? **** that.

That's the first thing I thought of. This is an identity thieves wet dream. Haven't looked as I don't care ( quit using cards when I got out of that industry) but I'm assuming that you can load multiple cards onto this, if so the potential for abuse is massive.
