And when you get to the end, having requested a transfer to the new
card, it drops the bombshell that you have to collect it within 7 days
from a specified station!!! Yes, that old banana skin again. And guess
what, I'm not travelling until about a week after that.

What the advantage of the onepulse card compared to a normal oyster that its
worth all this hassle? Is that 2mm of space saved in your wallet really that
important?

Not to mention the extra hassle if the card gets lost, stolen or
damaged by being put in the washing machine by mistake. With separate
cards, if your credit card gets stolen, you don't have to worry about
getting a replacement Oyster Card. With a One Pulse card, would you
not have three times the hassle?

By the way, Oyster Cards do work after being put in the washing
machine, as I found out once.
