I've used a number of these programs some are better than others but few of the paid versions actually work better than the free ones.  Try Photorec, if the card is simply erased, or even if the directory structure is gone, if it can still be accessed by your OS it should work. https://www.cgs

You could do worse than just cash.  Unfortunately anything that I can think of that would disable the contactless system on your card would probably also disable the chip and swipe strip at the same time.  The banks and government really want you to be traceable in all your economic transaction
