We gift aided the tax and were given a paper ticket that is valid for
one year, which seems to be getting quite common these days. Not sure
how that could be done with Oyster, although I am sure it is
technically feasible.


When I looked at their website the other day, I noticed that the
standard paper ticket was in fact an annual season. The group-discount
ticket, on the other hand, is just a day ticket.

I don't see a fundamental problem with exchanging Oyster credit for one
of those (paper) annual season tickets, apart from the fact they
probably don't do it. (And you'd need to retain the paper ticket, not
the record on your Oyster account, which they like to think expires
after 90 days anyway).
