I've been using an "Orange Cash" prepay card but I got an email
yesterday saying that EE are bailing out and I'm going to be
transferred to a different issuer.

Optimum by Prepay Technologies

It's not clear if the replacement is also contactless, so I've
queried this by email.

12 days later they've got back to me with a one sentence reply of "yes
it will be contactless".

It now occurs to me that I asked the wrong question, and should have
been enquiring about whether such a card, if contactless, was accepted
by TfL.

I'll continue trying to pull these particular teeth.

So I asked the question, and six weeks later... no response.

The Optimum card itself arrived yesterday (2nd October) so only a day
later than the Orange Cash card went to meet its maker. The good news
is they did transfer the balance across, and it's contactless.

I suppose I'll have to try it out next time I'm in London to see if TfL
accept it.

And in later news, trying to set up the Optimum Account App (on Android
phone) it barfs with "the server has had a hiccup, please try later".

A bunch of amateurs, or what??
