    I am sticking to Oyster. My preferred debit/credit cards are not contactless, and as I have a Senior Railcard registered on my Oyster, I would lose out on the discount if I used contactless.
    Perhaps you can link a Railcard with a contactless card in the same way?

    No, sorry can't be done.

    This TfL webpage explains... click on I get discounted/free travel to see:
    Discounts can't be added to contactless payment cards. This includes all National Railcard discounts.

    Not yet, but probably in the future.

    It cannot be rocket science to link a railcard or a season ticket to a specific contactless card, so I would expect to see this functionality added sooner rather than later.

    At which point Oyster will be killed off.
