And has anyone pointed out how un-tourist friendly the website is? In
order to register my card, I had to make up a Postcode because it would
not accept my valid US Zipcode.


Have you filled in and signed the form, and handed it in at a station, I may
be wrong but I think I didn't get a history until I'd done that. Don't know
why...


When I tried to do that in 2005, I was told that cards couldn't be
registered to overseas addresses.


Truely *DAFT* on their part. If I'd known that I just would have
registered it to my business address in the UK and the secretary would
have forwarded by inter-office if necessary.

On the other hand, my history has shown up. To almost my first
transaction over 24 hours before I did a top-up from the credit
card. It is clear as mud (I take it that on the online history they
show $4.00 debited on every entry and a credit for the difference to
the real fare on exit WITH NO SIGNS OF +/- ON THE AMOUNTS?).

So, I think I've won as much as anyway can win with this scheme.
