18+ Student Oyster - No discount?
I ordered an 18+ student photocard oyster a while ago. I received it in the post and attached my 16-25 rail card to it as well.
Went online as I decided to add a monthly travel card to it for £74.50 but it wants to charge me full price (£104.50)? I've double check it's my student oyster account and it definitely is. Current balance is correct as is the oyster card.
Suggestions?

You only get discount on weekly/monthly travel etc.

by JournalisticI got an 18+ Oyster, topped up £5, made a single journey and it took £1.80! Surely that is the adult fare? Maybe you have to register it?
Single journey fares aren't any cheaper on an 18+ Oyster, the saving only comes in if you buy a weekly/monthly/annual travelcard.
Get it done at the ticket office of the tube station, for some reason mine won't apply discount online or at a electronic ticket booth.

That is such a pain in the ass. My parents were going to do it via their card over the phone. Typical TFL cocking things up. Again.

It was in reply to the person who said - 'Oyster, topped up £5, made a single journey and it took £1.80! Surely that is the adult fare? Maybe you have to register it?'
Thanks.

Sometimes it does that if it doesn't recognise that you get a discount. Just go to the station and explain and they will give you a refund of the difference. (It happened to me once).
