STARS ID cards in RE3

So since I had $10 in my PSN account, there weren't any DLC items I wanted all that bad, and since I can't hook my Gamecube up anymore, I decided to get RE3.

Anyway, has anyone noticed that once you use them, you aren't given an option to discard them. This is quite strange, as all other single-use items are either discarded by the player or disappear from inventory once used. Is there some little known purpose these ID cards serve besides getting the code for the drawer where the STARS office key is?

It's not something I've ever found out.

Teh Spike just knows you can get Jill's and Brad's ID cards and take them out of the wallets. Also does anyone remember all the cool extra REmake art like the STARS badges? Teh_Spike has seen those online but not sure if they are available in game...

The reason you can't discard the cards is because you need it if you want to use the computer again (if you forget the code). Idk why they didn't just permanently unlock the computer instead.

That... actually makes perfect sense. Honestly, I've memorized all four of the codes, so I don't even bother picking up the cards anymore.
