They no longer have 3 day travelcards, just 7 day. Just get an oyster card and put about 15 pounds on each one.

Sally, I'm going to be in London for 2 days in October and from the suggestions on this message board and calculating the fares (offpeak vs. peak) I've decided to just get the Oyster card.

Thanks . We'll get an oyster card and put 15 pounds per card. When we're done , I can't remenber if we return the card and get a little money back? Also after London,we'll take the Eurostar at St. Pancras to paris. If we can get refund from unused money in our oyster card, should we just do it in at St. Pancras?

Yes, you can get a refund both on any unspent money you loaded on an Oyster card and on the deposit you paid for the card. You can get it at the King's Cross/St Pancras Underground station.
For the record, while the three day travelcard has been phased out, it's still possible to buy one day travelcards as well as seven day travelcards.
