My experience of card clash is an error 94 & the gates don't open.


My experience (several times) is that got card clashes quite often:
unfortunately sometimes I got through the entry gate by following
someone just ahead, and then found an unresolved journey at the exit
gate (which then took me at least 30 mins on the phone to resolve).


That's a completely different issue. If you wait for the yellow light
before touching in, you'll avoid that scenario.

I have learned from this to keep my Oyster card in a separate card
folder to all others, which is a real nuisance. But it seems the only
way.

As we accumulate more an more RFID cards (my credit card supplier has
refused to provide me with a non-RFID version) we will simply have to
keep a separate card holder for each and every card. Welcome to the
inconvenience of the pay-wave future.


Do a Google image search for "trifold wallet". You can keep two RFID
cards in the outer flaps and all the other cards in the centre. When
touching in, you just fold out the flap with the Oyster in it. Simple.
