If you have auto top-up you have a registered card so there are no risks
of losing it, apart from a lengthy telephone call. Unless you can report
a lost card via the website?

I reported a lost card (from 2004 - sniff, worth a fortune now?
probably not) on the website on a Friday. Replacement arrived the
following Tuesday all the way from Aberdeen, nicely topped up.

I do hate this uncontrolled auto-topup though. We should be able in
2010 to set the trigger and quantity levels via this web thingymabob.
One size does not fit all.

My guess is that it is just a single bit on the Oyster card, so one
size must indeed fit all. Or actually two sizes, namely auto top-up
enabled, or auto top-up disabled.

Well, auto top-up by £20, or auto top-up by £40.

Yeah, I realised that after I posted. So there are three states (off,
20 quid or 40 quid). If we assume there must therefore be at least
two bits coding the state, that means that it would be possible to
support at least four states.

Random bonanza - top up with an annual all-zones Travelcard whenever
it runs out?

See you and raise you a future "annual 1st class + replacement
Borisbike".
