The Fares and Tickets leaflet on the TfL website (dated 1 July 2006)
still says "You will need to pay a deposit of £3 when you first get your
Oyster card if you are only buying a 7 Day season ticket or you wish to
pay as you go", which implies that it's free only if you get a monthly
or longer period season. So Ask Oyster contradicts the F&T leaflet.


My point exactly - I'd go with the leaflet every time.

This is a little bit confusing... I'm also trying to work out if there
is a £3 deposit or not in this case and in addition to the difference
between the leaflet and Ask Oyster I have just found out that the
on-line oyster shop automatically adds £3 if I just order a card with
PAYG value but not if I order a card with a 7-day travelcard on it...

You can see it he https://sales.oystercard.com

So in this case I think the leaflet is wrong for some reason (perhaps
they meant 7 day bus pass or something, not 7 day travelcard).
