From there the thread went off into discussions about the progress
Foyles have made in book retailing over the last 30 years.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the online top up user to pop up
and tell me what I've been missing out on over the years.


I'm not claiming it was a great contribution but was the reason I
gave for using online top-up at least once wholly irrelevant? For
ease of reference I have copied it below.


"My reason for using the online top-up facility was to gain online
access to my journey history.


No, I accept that. For the odd one-off transaction the inconvenience
is just about acceptable; the last time I collected anything at a
ticket gate was when I set up auto top-up. What I'm particularly
interested in is anyone who prefers online over manual top ups for
putting PAYG value on their Oyster on a regular basis.

As I said previously, when I use on-line top-up, I use Amex, which I
thought was not accepted at ticket machines. I may be out of date on
that point, but hadn't bothered checking. I also like the emailed
receipt you get with an on-line top-up without having to ask for one.
