  9. Gave and received a week and a half ago. My company does a lot of outreach, so biz cards are still a thing.

  12. Received - this month.

    I still find them useful when people have hard-to-spell names. Difficult to look someone up online if you can’t figure out how to type in their name. I personally struggle with Polish and Thai names the most.

  15. Receive—too many—I attend a lot of events and people almost force them on me. (Especially real estate & finance people.) They usually end up in the garbage.
    Gave—last week. I find that more and more people just connect with me right then and there on LinkedIn so no need for a card. Even though I have them.
    Collect—when I travel & I find interesting business cards from restaurants, etc., I save them and use them as bookmarks.

  17. Gave my boss's card to an annoying salesman who would not leave us alone. "Here ya go. Here's his contact info including e-mail. Bye-bye"

  18. So funny.
    As a CRE Broker, today, I just got back from touring one of my Las Vegas Motel listings to a So Cal Buyer.
    At the end, I offered a business card.
    The potential buyer declined, saying, "I got your information from the web."
    He then showed me his cell phone where I was already in his contacts!
    Yeah, Me!

  20. I don't have cards, but my husband does and he's giving them out constantly. (He's an IT guy - and when you actually know what you're doing with computers, LOTS of people want your card!)

    Gave one a few months ago in a letter I mailed out.
