"I am writing to remind you to only touch the card you intend
to pay with on the yellow card reader. Keeping your Oyster
cards and any contactless payment cards separate helps to
avoid 'card clash'.

"If you touch the reader with a wallet or purse containing
lots of cards, this may lead to 'card clash' and the ticket
gates not opening, slowing down your journey. It could also
result in payment being taken from a card you did not intend
to use.

So that's another frog boiled (the one about Oyster meaning all you
have to do is touch your wallet).

I'll add it to the list, including ones like [not TfL] ATMs meaning no
more queues at banks - which I remember every time I queue at an ATM.

This isn't news,

So why email all their [registered] Oyster users?

Have they? I had an e mail from them last week with my weekly usage (first
time since before last October) but nothing since.

nor some massive shock revelation.

Depends whether you are a frog, or a frog boiler.

TfL have said it since they started accepting contactless card payments
on buses over a year ago.

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

Ask them?
