When I put in the refund claim that started this thread I could have
done it through a browser, as long as that browser didn't use Webkit. So
you can already do it if you have a crappy smartphone. There are
probably Oystery apps that have this feature too, although the one I use
for checking my journey history doesn't have it.
There are places where the app can update the card directly using NFC
-- RMV in Germany are doing this. I wonder whether this is even
possible with Oyster? I suppose it won't matter soon with bank cards
and then (maybe) "dumb" Oyster... I believe it is possible with ITSO
though so we might see it done there.
