Just made sure that they print the record card that goes with your
oyster card on a GOLD record card. When I got mine, the guy put
it on an ordinary record card.

Easy - just go and get it re-printed, you might say? Well, no,
not so easy - I was told at the LUL ticket desk that they
couldn't re-print it without issuing a new travelcard.

If my paper Gold Card becomes unreadable then they issue me with a new one
with a price of £0.00. I fail to see why they can't do a similar thing with
Oyster and the record card. What do they do if your Oyster card fails? Say
tough luck pay again.
