From this April it should be possible to pick up online Oyster
purchases within 30 minutes, and without having to nominate a
particular station. It will also be possible to pick up purchases on
buses.
TfL are also planning to introduce an Oyster app to complement this
improvement.

Hooray! The current rules are an utter pain for infrequent out-of-London
users like me. I got caught out by the evening deadline too once,
topping up for a planned journey the next day. Living in Cambridge I
can't even be sure where I'll start an Oyster journey.
If you used Auto Top-up, you wouldn't have that problem.
I don't use Oyster enough to justify lending TfL so much money.
But if "the current rules are an utter pain", there must be some value
in a scheme which avoids the pain. So how much interest would you lose
by lending TfL £20? Isn't it worth it to avoid the utter pain?
