Ok.
It's been years since I've even seen a TC, lol.
What would be the plan? Buy the TC then pay it into your bank account?

Is it possible to get an oyster. Load it with lets say 5k of pay as you go money on amex. conveniently "lose" it and get the refund? you get 10k amex points there'll be a £10 administration fee for refunds but that 10k points could be worth potentially 20k miles when a bonus comes along

Its still working. Ordered a few hundred quid worth on a new card and it has gone through fine and arrived. Just need to get round to depositing it into my account.

You can get a refund for the time left on a railway season ticket but not sure if all train companies will allow you to put the refund on a different card to the one you paid with.

well if you lose the card half way through the month tfl cant add half a months ticket fare onto the oyster. Anyways in the past ive always got full refunds for lost oysters through a cheque in the post. It might be an option you can request on the phone to have it pre-loaded onto the card

I have a feeling you will not be able to deposit AUD cash into a bank account in the UK even if it is denominated as such, but it doesn't hurt to ask I suppose. You MAY have more luck with TCs denominated in Aussies, but one again do the sums and ask the questions before you do the deal!

I bought a zones 1-4 Travelcard on my BA Amex. Then a few months later office moved and only needed zones 2-4. Changed over my ticket and the folks at South West Trains refunded the £500 odd difference onto my debit card (not the Amex I'd paid with originally!) thus putting me 5% of the way towards meeting my 241 spend for free.

In the extreme case you could get a £10k season ticket from London to somewhere like Stoke and change it over to a Lichfield Trent Valley to Lichfield City at £108.
