There is a £3 refundable deposit for the card. You can either provide
your details and have it registered, or otherwise have an unregistered
card.

Isn't there some issue to do with refunding people with overseas
addresses?

AIUI the deposit and unused credit can be refunded in cash in a
straightforward over-the-counter transaction at a Tube station ticket
office if it's under a certain amount, but I don't know what that
amount is.
See this TfL Help page:https://custserv.tfl.gov.uk/icss_csi...ion.do?entityN...

I think that if the card is registered then you'd need to quote the
answer to your security question. If the card is not registered then I
think it may have to be registered first before the money could be
returned. I am, as you can see, rather hazy on the details with
regards to this all! (Unfortunately I can imagine some ticket office
bods might be similarly hazy on these matters!)


The unused credit can only be refunded in cash at a ticket office if
only cash or debit cards have been used to top the card up. If a
credit card has been used, refunds can only be done via the Oyster
Helpline.

I can see why they might say that, but it's a bit harsh if the
Credit-Card funded top-up is a year or two old. You'd have thought that
news of a fraud would have permeated through by then.
