If you’ve got an Oyster card lying around you may be able to turn it into some quick cash.

With London public transport now accepting contactless cards, complete with daily caps, there’s little need to have an Oyster card now.

Chances are you paid a deposit for your Oyster travel card when you originally got it, and you may still have money on it.

Returning your card will see you refunded your deposit, plus any remaining Pay As You Go balance and/or value of any travel card or season tickets.

To get a refund on your Oyster card you can either:

Take your Oyster card to a Tube station ticket office

Post us your Oyster card to the Transport of London

Call Transport of London Customer Services
