I stand duly corrected! How far back does the journey history go?

Is it 8 journeys?

It is a mere 8. The printout has 2 forms: short and long. Long prints
the contents of the card: the slots, what they hold/held (7-day,
monthly, etc), much blurb on when registered, any topups and failures.
The short one lists the 8 journeys and topups as well as last failed
use (gate x in station y refused).

The online stuff goes back 3 months, with a delay of 2 or so days for
a recent journey to appear.

I use all the above to claim biz trips. The limit of 8 journeys was a
particular pain: journey 9 would knock off 1. I never had any success
in getting usage posted out though.
