Whilst the Oyster can still be used after the end of the year (with the discount deactivated) it doesn't appear to be possible to transfer money from the old card to the new. As one who uses the travelcard almost exclusively and doesn't go beyond Moor Park *that* often (and almost never travelling exclusively up there), I have very limited options for using up the credit on the old cards. You can't get a refund on your old credit? No. Each time I've registered the new card and brought a season ticket I've asked about transferring over the balance (and because it's touch and go as to when the new card comes you have to have balance on there for the interim) and been told it's not possible. Not transferring the balance. A *refund.* If you have the cash, then you won't need to fuss about a transfer. If you want you can add the cash back on to the new card. From Oyster help: """ I no longer need my Oyster card. How can I get a refund of my unused ticket or travel value and my £3 deposit (if applicable)? You can take your Oyster card to a Tube station ticket office for a refund of your unused ticket or travel value and the £3.00 deposit if applicable. Alternatively you can. Post your Oyster card, with a covering letter to: Oyster Ticketing and Refunds, 55 Broadway, London, SW1H 0BD Please let us know if you've changed your details, so we can be sure to send any refunds to the right address.
