My Auto Zone Rewards card is from 2007, hard to think that the card is close to 20 years old now. Last time I used it, I used it to scrape glue off the side of a truck LOL!
My ADAC Gold membership card. I guess it’s similar to AAA roadside assistance in the US, just for Europe. I’ve had it for over 10 years, since I got my first car. It has paid for itself multiple times over since I drive a lot of ancient shitboxes.
Man, a year ago, I would have been able to whip out a 1992 Metallica concert ticket.
Alas, it would have been damn near illegible, which is why I finally just trashed it.
So right now, the oldest thing I have is probably my old driver’s license. I got the new one last year, but still have the old one which was from ages ago
Organ donor card. It’s all registered online/electronically now, so not necessary at all, but it feels right still to keep it with me wherever I may get run over or mauled by geese so as to not let any organs go to waste.
i try to keep my wallet as slim as possible, i don’t even carry all my active credit cards (also serves as pan b if wallet gets lost). but i do have a memory box at home with old IDs, membership and bank cards, from the the mid 90s and later
This was part of my spring cleaning, I slimmed my trifold wallet down to right at about an inch thick.

And yeah, it’s highly recommended to like not carry a couple or few of these items, but I have official duplicates at home anyways, I keep all my official documents put up at home anyways, all the way back to my official vaccination records when I was a child.
The spare prescription eyeglass lens is ground down and clipped into a keyring, the indent in my wallet looks like I’m carrying a condom LOL! But nah, it’s my spare lens, in case I lose my glasses, and I call it my lucky coin…
