Paul said that you need to put down a £3 deposit when buying this
7-day Travelcard on Oyster, but I'm not sure that's the case - the

Ask Oyster answer suggests not:

I went from what was in the TfL tickets book. I am aware that the £3
charge has been waived for a period of time but the revenue
protection documents I could see at work have vanished from the
Intranet so I am not up to date on this issue. I don't trust a
single thing that is put in "Ask Oyster" as it usually vague to the
point of being useless.

The Fares and Tickets leaflet on the TfL website (dated 1 July 2006)
still says "You will need to pay a deposit of £3 when you first get your
Oyster card if you are only buying a 7 Day season ticket or you wish to
pay as you go", which implies that it's free only if you get a monthly
or longer period season. So Ask Oyster contradicts the F&T leaflet.

My point exactly - I'd go with the leaflet every time.

Recently, SWMBO managed to loose her spouse pass. When she got a 7 day TC on
an oyster to get her to work whilst passes & permits were sorting out a
replacement, she was NOT charged a £3 deposit. This from the newsagent in
TPL station.
