This is where things get sad , my poor wallet is taking a bit of a strain on the amount of things that it can carry. Besides some cash i have to carry my license and my half a dozen shop cards. While i would like to leave these cards at home i tend to need them when i least expect, so i end up keeping them on me at all times. This contributes to the biggest strain on my wallet.

What i would like to see is some thing like open ID but in the real world , so all the company’s that offer some kind of shop card need to get together and decide on a common card. Yes for payments you can currently use a credit card but alot of these places do not offer benefits if you pay with a credit card. They expect you to pay with their card then pay your account later at some time.

The advantage of the Open ID card is that it would have a centralized Activator. As soon i join a new stores scheme i get activation code from them which is then activated on my open ID card and i now have access to there benefits with out the needs to carry a 100 cards with me when shopping.

I would imagine that the amount of data that could be mined from such a situation would definitely benefit all party’s .

So who shall join me in this revolution against .
