Recently, my mum and day have both got Oyster cards. My dad set up an online account and bought his; when it arrived, he took it down to Waterloo undeground station to add the senior railcard. He then bought a second card for mum and we want now to add her senior railcard to that one. So far, we haven't been successful - dad added the card to his online account, but when he took it back to Waterloo, they said they couldn't do it as the card wasn't registered. The second time we tried, they wouldn't do it at Richmond as it wasn't an underground station.
Question is, does mum need to have a separate online account with the bought Oyster card being added to that and then take it to a tube station to add the railcard, or can it be registered to dad's account but with her railcard added (the latter makes sense as it's the same money which pays for it!).
We're in London tomorrow, so want to try and get this sorted out.
