Hmm. Bought three cards for family, each with £5 prepay on. They are
likely to make lots of journeys by tube and bus on Monday. Will it let
them or will it 'run out' of money on Monday and have it credited back
on Tuesday.

The cards and readers are clever enough to work out when the capping
threshold is reached, as long as you touch in and out every time. If you
fail to touch in or out you'll end up with an unresolved journey which may
confusing the capping and you may have to contact the Oystercard helpdesk to
resolve this the following day when all the data has been sent to the
central system.
