What’s the deal?

You can get five free iTune downloads (worth £3.95) if you sign up for Oyster Auto Top Up, the facility to automatically top up your Oyster Pay As You Go card with either £20 or £40 whenever your balance falls below £5.

Auto top up means you will never run out of credit on your card but you do need to watch if you have enough money in your bank or credit card to accept the automatic payment. You will be sent an email when a top up payment is taken to help you monitor this.

What else do I need to know?

You need to either have an online Oyster account or register for one to get the free tunes.

At the time you set up Auto top up you need to add at least £5 to your account.

When Auto Top Up has been set up you will receive an email with a 12 digit promotional code which can be used to claim your 5 free songs from the current iTunes UK catalogue.

To use the code log into iTunes, and select 'Redeem' from the iTunes Store before choosing your 5 songs.

There are 100,000 promotional codes and the offer will end when all the codes have gone or by 29 February 2008. Songs must be downloaded by midnight on 31 March 2008.
