They are converting the Amsterdam public transport to some sort of
Oyster-like system quite soon now. So less moaning about the problems
of finding a ticket machine there that'll take credit cards, but it's
one more bit of dedicated plastic to carry everywhere

Though presumably that is the card that will - in theory - one day -
work on almost all public transport in the Netherlands (not sure about
NS)?

It sounds like a sensible ambition. I'm assuming phase-1 will work
between Schiphol and Centraal, but I will need to check this out next
time I'm there.
