I use Suikakeibo [0] for that. The latest 20-ish transactions seem to be stored on the card, so by scanning it using my phone every day I could keep a history of everything I used it for. You can even put in notes, since non-transit transaction don't list what you bought with it - just the amount.

It makes for a nice reminder of my past trips. =)

Suica cards are readable on your phone via something like farebot (on Android). I'm able to see all my suica transactions on my phone via nfc.
