I paid with my credit card on auto renewal last month. There is a direct debit option in the payment section as well as the Payment Cards option..

Not for me there wasn't. Definitely no credit card option - I looked everywhere. Contrary to what I said earlier my previous debit card had in fact expired since last March and there was no way to add a new one. So maybe it is only allowing auto renewals on existing cards that are still valid but not allowing adding new cards. I ended up having to use direct debit. Especially annoying in light of Evolt's tweet above.

Still no word whether they will issue new RFID cards? I've tweeted them to see if they will spill the beans.

I get the feeling that there will be an end to free charging. It's already happening in certain council areas. I see no reason it'll not happen in other areas. In Barrhead I've already notice several Tesla Model 3s using the one and only rapid charger. Love it... buying a £40k motor with proper rapid charging speeds. ..to sit and there and suck on a free 50 kW charger for over an hour... utter bottoms.

The problem I have with the Tesla Model 3 owners is that they sit there for well over an hour charging to 100%. Before them it was the Black Cab taxi PHEVs hogging it. It is simple freeloading... and the sooner all the rapids start charging you money the better. I typically grab 30 mins of charging at it when I need to and then granny charge at home. If the CPS rapid is unavailable I'll head straight to an InstaVolt. I've no problem buying electricity. Yesterday, I drove from Stockport to Gretna, charged my Zoe on the Ionity for 20 mins, a 12.67 kWh splash, and then headed home to Barrhead. A whopping £8.82... but worth it as it meant I completed the 235 miles in under 5 hours.
