Allett EcoThin Original Wallet (Hold Cash and up to 24 Credit Cards)

Updated – 2/14/2015 at 5PM PST: Added more versions of the Allett (leather, velcro, and women’s versions) to the bottom of the post.

Good evening everyone, let me tell you about a cool wallet that I learned about at my recent OC Meetup.  As we discussed gift cards and credit cards, an attendee pulled out his wallet and started looking for a specific card.  Then another attendee pulled out his wallet and noticed that they had the same wallet.  They both had the Allett, a super thin wallet capable of holding cash and up to 24 credit cards.  I decided to buy an Allett and test it out myself (Amazon).

1 Call to Citi to Inquire about 5 Credit Card Retention Offers

Good morning everyone, this is going to be a short post about the retention offers I received on my 5 Citi credit cards.  Before I go on, I highly recommend reading Doctor of Credit’s post on Retention Bonus Rules & Tips For Each Card Issuer – Get More Than One Bonus Each Year.  I called Citi yesterday to tell them I was going to make a large “purchase” at Target with my Citi American Airlines Executive Credit Card.  After the rep was able to add the spending note to my card, I asked if there were any spending or retention offers available.
