Fortunately, there are equal or better tools for each of these jobs -- and you listed these tools or implied what they might be. Unfortunately, credit cards carry with them them additional risks related theft or loss and the major fun of potentially dealing with identity theft. For example, some local theaters have gotten the bright idea that they do not need to get a signature, and some of the ticket agents fail to ask for picture identification. Some vendors will take anything to make the sale. Personally, I think that credit cards -- even unused and/or expired -- are still dangerous "tools" of "toys" to leave around. Destroy the little beggars, before they come back to bite you. The ten alternative uses that you listed are fine.
