2012, d remarked: But the Oyster card is being used on non-TfL services! It can also be used to pay for entry to a museum, so it's apparently legal to use it to pay for other things than transportation fares. Its essentially a gift voucher (you pay someone money, they'll redeem it later for goods or services) so there's no legal issue at all. It's regarded as a banking facility (or e-money), if they can be spent with a third party. Most gift cards are tied to one shop or product. There are some with wider acceptance, but as they "feel like cash", I would expect them to be covered by FSA rules[1]. The issue with TfL and Oyster was they didn't want that extra burden.
