As of the 24th February customers can no longer get the £5 deposit back from their oyster card, from now on customers will pay a £5 fee for their oyster card and after 12 months the £5 will be added to the PAYG balance. Customers can still get a PAYG balance refund up to £10.

Guess they are trying to push people towards using contactless debit/credit cards.
Cant remember the last time I used a Oyster card.

Not a fan of the contactless cards as so many passengers get on with them and they dont work (payment failed) then they proceed to argue there is money in the bank etc

My understanding is it just checks to see if the card is on a blacklist. |

My understanding is it just checks to see if the card is on a blacklist. Some cards also have a feature where one in every 10 or 15 transactions needs to be chip and pin otherwise it will cause a rejection. |
