Hi! Over in this thread I tell a rather boring story of my malfunctioning Oyster card. I did in fact send the uncashable refund check back with a request for an Oyster card.
I finally got a reply that they do not send Oyster cards abroad but would send it to a proxy in Britain. The way I got the first Oyster card is that they sent it to me in America, but whatever, I’m done.
First one to PM me gets an Oyster card with £15.20 on it. Maybe. I’ll definitely tell the Oyster card people to send it to you, who knows if they will or what amount will be on it if they do.
No takers? Is it that no one wants to seem greedy, getting something for nothing?
How about this: help a Doper out. Let me have them send the Oyster card to you in the UK. Use the card once or twice so that you receive the value of posting the card to the US. Then you send the Oyster card to me in the U.S.
TFL may be able to donate it directly if you ask, otherwise I would be happy to drop it into the box in Liverpool St station as I go through there reasonably regularly.
Ok, now I’ve got two offers of assistance. I suppose it speaks well of the country that no one jumped at the free offer, but people immediately started responding when asked for help.
