I have a PAYG oyster card and if I log in to my tfl account there is an
option to register a contactless card. This makes me suspect that an
unknown contactless card will be ignored

Nope. Registering a card is optional and is useful for online tracking
of journeys etc.

Anyone can still jump on the system without.


, though its proximity to a
registered card might result in card clash. The advantage of an Oyster
card is that you can keep it seperate from your money cards which also
means eagle-eyed pickpocketers don't see which pocket your wallet goes
back into.

Oyster cards can also be loaded with season tickets.
