What should I do if I pay for Oyster by credit card and forget to touch Oyster card after payment?
I paid to top up my Oyster card by using a credit card and forgot to touch my Oyster card after payment. TFL has deducted money from my credit card, but my Oyster card doesn't have that money. What can I do?
Best Answer
If you fail to tap your Oyster card after top up tfl should refund your money back to you credit card after 3 days.
I was going to link to the correct part of the tfl website but the oyster pages are unavailable due to maintenance today. (03.sept.14). But www.tfl.gov.uk
