  I used it to make some short bus trips to save me walking up to some shops when I only have 30 mins spare. Worked a treat and racked up £12 worth of charges…(which they refunded).

    How did you spend £12 on buses? The max you can spend on buses in a day is £4.40

  MC wasn’t accepted at a few north London stations, so had to use Oyster at those, probably negating any saving.

  Don’t forget, long term, if you have an Oyster card with the Senior card loaded, then you won’t get the Senior discount using any other Bank wifi card.

    Well obviously. And it’s not wifi, it’s near-field communication.

  All my Amex cards, all my visa cards and none of my Mastercards are contactless. No wonder they can afford the promotion and the advertising – they’ll not pay many fares!

    Last time they did this free promotion it was a record day for tube travel.
