Just put my oyster card in the washing machine... will it work?

Question

Obviously not on purpose... 40 Degrees, for about 40 minutes?

Answer 1

the washer will be fine

Answer 2

My bet is that it will be OK

Answer 3

Ive washed wads of banknotes and they were fine once dry, so maybe oyster cards are immune too...might even enjoy the swim.

Answer 4

Try it tomorrow in a shop where they sell Oyster credit. Don't wait til you're on the bus - you'll have to pay £1.50, then, & don't go to an Underground station to try, cos it'll deduct it from the balance on your card if it IS working.

Answer 5

Put some more powder in and try.

Answer 6

Chances are that it will be fine. My staff Oyster went through the wash recently, and never had a problem. If you want to check it, go to any tube station with a Multi-Fare Machine (with the touch screen) in the booking hall and touch it on the reader. If it reads your card then it will work at the barrier.

Answer 7

Well I doubt it will make your clothes lemony fresh ...

Answer 8

It'll take you for a spin!
