The history works ok for me.

"Please note, customers will only be able to view this information
if they have purchased pay as you go credit (including Auto top-up)
from Oyster online."

So, not available to many, including me.

What's stopping you from buying some credit online, to trigger
this? I recently bought an extra £5 worth because of this.

I don't think I've ever bought as much as £5 credit at a time. I don't
use it enough. Most of the time I do use it I need to claim expenses so
i top up the amount used and get myself a receipt for the correct
amount that way. I suppose when I retire I might do it online.

For a fiver, I think you are well into "self inflicted injury" time
if you refuse to authenticate your card for online journey history.
And if your usage is that low, the online history is going to be
very boring anyway!

I can get the history from a ticket office if I really want it. It's not
worth me running a balance more than double what I normally need.

My last top-up was 85p (for Vauxhall-Putney last night).
