That wasn't very clear was it? I meant that if the first credit you
put on your brand-new Oyster card is for a 7-day travelcard, the
deposit on the card is £0.

Not according to this here "Your Guide to Oyster" leaflet. You need a
longer than 7 Day Travel Card to avoid the deposit.

In order to encourage take up I understand the deposit has been waived
for 7 day ticket holders. This has been in operation for months.
