Default Dormant Oyster funds - fuss about nothing?

Oyster's certainly better in this respect compared to the Netherland's
OV-chipkaart. An anonymous, unregistered card costs €7.50 (which is in
fact only a "suggested retail price" so a retailer could charge more),
is "valid for 4 to 5 years" (bit vague!), and if you want to reclaim
the left over credit it costs a €2.50 administration fee at a "public
transport company counter". If there's a way of getting the money back
by post without first getting a form from such a counter, they don't
wish to advertise it!:


That's because they expect you to go Dutch in the Netherlands.
