No, you might get an unauthorised overdraft on your credit card, and
quite likely a penalty charge from the card company.

if you got these it wouldn't be rejected, would it?

The two outcomes are mutually exclusive.

Not if the Card Company sends a flag back to TfL saying "that was at
your risk because the customer is overdrawn".
