So how long did you leave between buying the top-up and checking
on-line?
Did the card function? Presumably you topped-up at the newsagent
instead of on-line because you had an imminent journey to make?

I topped up in the newsagents two days ago (see date/time in receipt)
and
checked on-line a few hours later and the website said my credit was
still
9p. Since this was less than the 24 hours the website said it might
take to
register the credit I thought nothing of it and bought a 1.20 ticket
for the bus.
Today I checked the website again and it still says 9p, and this is
nearly 48
hours since I topped-up in the newsagents.

Why not auto top-up? You might even still be in line for the £10
bonus. Anyone know if the quota's run out yet?

I will do in future, I was just wondering how long it would take for my
credit
to show up.
