Default Can I punch a hole in my Oyster Card?

I have a retractable keychain I wear on my belt. *I find it useful to have
my Oyster Card on this as I don't have to fumble for it in my pockets
whenever I board a bus or enter a Tube station; the card is always hanging
from my hip, within easy reach of the Card readers.

Until now I've been putting my Oyster Card in the official plastic wallet
and punching a hole through that to put it on the keyring. *However, after
a while the soft plastic cracks or rips. *I figure a more durable solution
would be to punch through the Oyster Card itself, though I'm afraid that
doing so in the wrong place would render it useless.

Does anyone know if/where it is safe to punch a hole through an Oyster
Card? *Ideally I'd like to punch the hole near one of the corners, or near
one of the short edges.

Regards,
Tristan

Superglue something to it that can easily attach to the chain?
