£5 return: Brighton, Bognor Regis, Eastbourne, Littlehampton or Southend-on-Sea.
£5 return: Arundel, Chichester, Dorking or Windsor.

£15 return: Salisbury, Stratford-upon-Avon or Winchester .
£15 return: Birmingham, Liverpool or Southampton.

See a full list of destinations included in the offer.
For an example of the savings you can make, an off-peak one month return from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street would cost c. £65 (depending how far in advance you booked it), but with the Oyster Card special voucher would cost just £15, saving a hefty £50.
Or an off-peak day return to Brighton from London Victoria would normally cost c. £17 (again, depending when you booked it) but would be £5 with the Oyster Card voucher.
If you don't have an Oyster Card, get one at London stations at some shops or order it online from TFL and it'll be posted out first class.You'll have to p*y a £3 deposit for the card and can top it up a minimum of £5.
