Transport for LondonAuto top-up
Auto top-up ensures you never run out of pay as you go credit by automatically topping up your Oyster card whenever your balance falls below £5.
You can choose your Auto top-up amount to be either £20 or £40. This will be added to your Oyster card when you touch it on any card reader, including those on buses, as part of a normal journey whenever your balance falls below £5.

Via your online account, select a top up amount and choose a Tube, DLR or London Overground station or tram stop at which to activate your Auto top-up request.
To do this you must touch your Oyster card on a card reader as part of a normal journey.Once activated, there is no need to return to your nominated station - top up will occur automatically as you travel.
