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).

Evolve Money Update: Pay All Bills with Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Credit Cards (3% Fee Applies)

Good morning everyone, Evolve Money sent out an email update this morning regarding changes to their bill pay feature.  In recent months, Evolve Money let you pay all bills with Discover credit cards (link), then a month later, Evolve Money evolved changed and would only let you pay certain bills with a Discover credit card (link).  Today, Evolve Money will let you pay any bill with a Discover credit card, but they added a 3% bill pay fee.  In the process of checking out Evolve Money, I discovered that you could also add Visa and MasterCard credit cards and pay any bills, but the same 3% bill pay fee still applies.
