Journey History
 

I just realised I cant get history any more either. I think that this
is to make it harder for people to view over charging. I am regularly
over charged by Oyster especially when I use the more complex stations
like Waterloo or bank and the w/city line.

The web site is atrocious. They have gone out of their way to make it
difficult to navigate. Its a pity as the implementation of the system
itself was done so well.

I wonder what the rationale is there - I had been pondering that it
was some sort of systems issue (that I couldn't quite decipher), but
actually I wonder if it might not be more of a safeguard to ensure
that those who have access to an Oyster card's journey history really
are the bona fide holder of said card. Something to scratch my head
over...

(Anyone tempted to say something like 'they just want to make things
difficult for you' shouldn't, for it'd be an intellectually vapid
comment.)

That was always my assumption and I think it was discussed in this group
some time ago. It makes it that bit more difficult for a spouse/partner
to establish that the card user was not in the office all evening, went
away on Saturday when the team were playing at home, was .....

What's stopping you from buying some credit online, to trigger this? I
recently bought an extra £5 worth because of this.

But that doesn't automatically stop it being true...

I don't think I've ever bought as much as £5 credit at a time. I don't use
it enough. Most of the time I do use it I need to claim expenses so i top
up the amount used and get myself a receipt for the correct amount that
way. I suppose when I retire I might do it online.

For a fiver, I think you are well into "self inflicted injury" time if
you refuse to authenticate your card for online journey history. And if
your usage is that low, the online history is going to be very boring
anyway!

I can get the history from a ticket office if I really want it. It's not
worth me running a balance more than double what I normally need.

My last top-up was 85p (for Vauxhall-Putney last night).
