I use my Oyster for pay as you go only. Excluding periodic travel passes, is there any point in keeping my Oyster if I can now get the same TFL pay as you go deal by using my contactless debit card?
Oyster cards will be cheaper on the riverboats, the Emirates Airline, or buses 15H, 402 and 477.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Now I'm confident that my contactless debit card works Ive applied for a refund.
The article needs updating as:
A refund (balance and deposit) can be requested online if you have an Oyster online account.
There is no need to return the card.
You can request the money is sent to your bank/bs by BACS even if your account is linked to your credit card.0 -
You can also get a refund on a ticket machine as long as the money on it is no more than £10 and there are no season tickets still on it. You can't do this within 48 hours of having bought it though.0
