TfL doesn't want my money.
It must be fate. I had finally given in and tonight I decided to visit the TfL web site and register online to purchase a Pre-pay Oyster. I tried to use my Visa for payment. This is the same Visa that is welcomed all over the world as being a totally kosher card. Web sites love it when I click on the 'checkout' option. All sites that is - except TfL. They rejected my card / details. :-( Oh well, at least I tried to use an Oyster.................................. -- Bob Adams (email to ) |

I had the same problem when I tried to get an annual travel card. All the details were filled in and correct, but the site reported that the transaction had been refused. So I'd check my details, check my card status, and try again. I gave up after 5-6 attempts. Then I discovered that my card issuer had been approving the requests, but the oyster site wasn't accepting/confirming the payment. So I ended up with around 6000 quid of charge "pending" on my card for a few days until it got cancelled. Scared the life out of me when I first saw that, until I discovered what it was. Tried again a month or two later and it had been fixed... J. |

I can't buy an Oyster online - the sales site won't take Solo cards, and I can't use my credit card because it has a U.S. billing address. I'll have to buy it at a station; does anyone know if Richmond Station sells Oysters? Brad |

Of course, it is possible that they don't actually know this yet. I've seen so many people with Oyster seasons still being sold paper extensions tickets from LU ticket offices. -- Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no. |
