That's fine until you get a railcard. Then the only way to get the
railcard discount is to use Oyster, until 2018 at least.

What's changing in 2018?

Oyster will become like Contactless so presumably they have to find a
way to deal with railcard discounts in the back office system.

Isn't it more likely that they will get rid of the railcard discounts
from Oyster cards as well?

I don't think the TOCs will let them. I think giving railcard discounts was
a condition for extending Oyster to National Rail in London.
