I'm a bit confused here. Will the 7DTC come on a free Oyster card

Yes, if you don't have one already or want an extra one (although they
seem to be reserving the right to start charging the £3 deposit again
in the future).

(disposable at the end of the week)

Only if you have no further use for an Oyster card...

Well, not until the next time I happen to need a 7DTC rather than paying
as I go.

It seems to me that people like TFL assume everyone is a commuter. What
if I was a foreign businessman coming to London perhaps three times a
year, and doing enough travelling each trip to justify a 7DTC? I might
not want to have to remember to bring my earlier Oyster, along with
everything else.

or can I now put a 7DTC on my existing prepay Oyster?

Yes, you have been able to do this for some time.

Ah, their publicity machine is clearly not focussed in my direction. Is
it the ODTC that I can't put on a prepay Oyster, or are all permutations
now allowed?
