I'm still waiting for an opportunity to try out my Barclaycard OnePulse
and see what happens.

I received a letter at the weekend from Barclaycard telling me they are
withdrawing the OnePulse product and when my card expires (end of April)
it would be replaced by a different Barclaycard without the Oyster
bit. One way of solving the problem.

Any indication regarding what they propose as a method for transferring
the Oyster credit on such a card away to a replacement 'classic' oyster?

Nothing automatic. I'd need to obtain a regular Oyster card from somewhere
and then speak to the Oyster helpline.

Sounds like when my first OnePulse was replaced and I had to spend the
regulation half an hour on the phone to the helpline to transfer the
credit across to the new one.

Another method: could one "surrender" a OnePulse card at a TfL office
and get a cash refund for the balance?

I can't imagine the typical ticket office liking that, and you can't
always get a cash refund on Oyster cards anyway depending on how the
credit got there in the first place.

I'm intending to run mine down to zero through some careful top-ups
but I make a handful of fairly predictable journeys most weeks so it
shouldn't be too tricky to do that.

Mine is on auto top-up, so I suppose I'd need to switch that off first.

On the other hand, maybe the Oyster part will keep working after the
credit card side times out?
