Had a new one today - 71. I thought i might be out of credit, so i went
to a quick ticket machine to top up, and was told "transaction
cancelled, your card is not initialised for PRESTIGE". Then realised i
was swiping my work keycard, not my Oyster.

Good thing it cancelled the transaction, i have to say; not sure what i
would have done with twenty quid on my keycard ...

I once tried swiping a Chicago Transit Card at a New York City subway
turnstile. (Except for the print, the cards are physically
indistinguishable.) The turnstile told me to SEE AGENT.

I wonder if I could have added $20 to my Chicago card in New York --
and, if I succeeded, which city it would have worked in.
