alt Hacker NewsWhat does an 80 year old (or anyone really) need with more than one or two cards on a daily basis where this would be an issue? Not being flippant; I legit want to know what leads to this. I have multiple cards but there's only one I use 99% of the time, and it's pink so it stands out.

I'm not 80 but do have a backup credit card and debit card and I do travel. So it's not so much "daily basis" but I do have a handful of cards that I keep with me.
Some banks have their debit and credit cards almost identical.
You may have multiple cards from the same bank (personal, family, business).
Different cash back from the same bank making you want to use one card over another.
ID, Medicare card, HSA card, SSA benefits card, 401k/pension card, debit card, credit card, AAA card, and that assumes he only has one of each!

In my physical wallet I can take the card I use daily (which is on a limited account and no big deal if I lose it) and leave the others at home. On my phone, there are all the cards I ever used or plan to use at some point in the future.
