FWIW, my US issued cards work fine as Oyster cards.


I can use my US issued Visa card to top up my Oyster card at an Oyster terminal
in the station, and I can enter it as a payment card on my Oyster account web
page, but when I attempt to actually top up my Oyster card, the transaction
fails. It also failed last week when I attempted to use the same card through
Android Pay on my phone.

Interestingly enough, when I tried my Amex card, I actually got an alert from
AMex stating that they had processed the transaction, but it never actually
completed on the Oyster end and failed the same way.


Do any of those combinations work on the *gates* as an Oyster
substitute?
