When I asked how else I could have credited my card the station

the very thing I am trying to avoid (as others have stated)!

Why not use the machines?

See above. Also, I hardly want to be feeding notes into a machine
which may reject them and cause a whole load of hassle.

The machines also accept cards. Many stations also have an
Oyster-only credit-card-only machine with a much shorter queue.

Yes, okay even if the queue was small etc., there MUST be a valid
method of me topping up by paying online. Otherwise, how am I
supposed to avail myself of the online advantage of having a record
of journeys made which, if I understand it correctly, is ONLY
available if I top-up online.

It works on my auto top-up card. I suspect it works on any card that
you have registered on your online account.
