Default Oyster Madness

I feel like another moan. Here goes.

At the moment, Oyster cards are completly useless. I am a University
student, and once or twice a week take a trip from Putney or
Hammersmith into Central. With Oyster it costs me 80p or £1 to get the
bus to either of these two stations, and a further £1.80 - £2 (or
something) for the two Tube singles. I am also highly likely to need a
bus or further single when in the capital. This brings me up to well
over £6

Why on earth can't the LU fascists get their act together and make sure
if i spend over £4.70 (a student z123456 day travelcard) it defaults
to a "day travelcard mode" and dosnt slap any more unnessesery fee's on
the Oyster.

Question: The Technology is already here (with the system knowing when
and where we have traveled and how much we have paid), why can't they
just enable this feature to save us a wadd of cash
Sorry if i'm getting boring with the moans
