I’m seeing now that there are standalone RFID chips that are already loose. How hard would it be to clone the card to one of those and do I need a chip with a specific length of antenna or other specific quality?

bank cards include encryption/hardening against cloning for obvious reasons. I’m not sure if the same would apply to a “pay as you go” card but I would expect so.

I do seem to be circling back to dissolving a card in acetone, yeah.
