Providing a free one would, at this point, not be very wise unless you

to contribute :)

We could also add an option in the registration site for buying one of 
these cards. Then we order 20% extra once registration closes, and can
offer this riskless..

Vague story btw.. Valid as 3 day card starting on the day of first stamp,
stamp on to and from journey ? Transfers allowed within 1 hour after
stamping?? I'm very confused as how this works now :)
