Air miles just aren’t worth it for me. It’s kind of sad really as my air miles card was my first ever rewards program that I joined in January of 1996. Almost 15 years later I had accumulated only 551 points spending a notable $11,000 to reach that number. 551 air miles didn’t get me much, I redeemed them for $75 in gift certificates at Chapters and closed my account. There’s a lot of cards I carry in my wallet that don’t really do much for me and I’m working on redeeming for whatever I can and getting rid of them. Petro Points, Staples, you name it, the rewards you get aren’t worth the space these cards take up.
The best reward card I’ve ever had is the PC financial MasterCard. In the past five years I’ve accumulated almost $700 of free merchandise which is awesome. It makes more sense to just have one rewards card that you can use everywhere instead of having to go out of your way or shop at specific places which to me is just a pain in the ass.

Front pocket wallet: I finally decided to make the switch to a front pocket wallet. I got to the point where sitting on my wallet was getting annoying. It’s uncomfortable and laden with cards I barely use if it all. Anyone who specializes in health or fitness will tell you sitting on a wallet is bad for your back and hips. It makes sense, it’s a cause of imbalance and an unnecessary one.
It took some shopping around to find a good front pocket wallet. I found out about The Rogue Wallet Company during my online search. Compared to everything else I was able to find online which wasn’t much they seemed to have the perfect blend of functionality, design and quality that I was looking for. Their wallets also have a unique patented cut to fit perfectly in your front pocket.
I ordered the the original black Rogue Wallet with satin leather. It really is a finely made wallet with a beautiful cut and finish. It has a great feel and with the radius it fits perfectly in your front pocket. The ID thumb slot is a nice touch and it easily holds all the cards I really need on a daily basis. Even with the front pocket wallet fully loaded it’s still less then half the thickness of my original wallet empty. If you haven’t done it yet I’d recommend switching to a front pocket wallet.
