SWT offer the charter discount on renewals of Travelcards purchased on
Oyster, provided you buy them from one of the SWT-run stations that
sells them. (This is detailed somewhere on their website.) Reportedly,
Richmond will only sell Travelcards on Oyster that include Zone 4. (I
don't know about Wimbledon.)

There are stations run by several other TOCs that are listed in the
TfL fares leaflet as selling Oyster cards (Southeastern, Southern,
FGWL, FCC, Silverlink, Chiltern, c2c, 'one'), but there have been no
reports of them offering the charter discount on Travelcards on
Oyster. You might like to check their websites, though.
