Identification of Important Cards

This is a very important topic for me and I am always careful to ensure that I am aware at all times as to the whereabouts of all of my important cards.  No different from anyone else but here are my techniques for card identification.

 

When I had enough vision, I identified them by color.  It helped me a lot to do this but now the situation is different because I no longer have enough vision to do this.  So, my first technique is to place my cards in alphabetic order in my wallet.  I am not one for having too many cards in my possession so this strategy works just fine for me.  The credit cards are placed on one side, and then the banking cards are placed on the other side; all in alphabetic order. 

 

Some time ago, I tried to identify my cards by touch.  That is, trying to decipher them based on the raised letters and numbers at the back of the card but this did not work very well.  It is possible to do this with some cards but not with others.  So I have given up on this technique.  Placing the cards in my wallet in alphabetic order works best.  Now all I have to do is to remember which cards I have.  Smile!  Keeping them in the right order is the key to success.
