I hate it when they do that.

When the bank lets you know that your "existing credit card may have been part of a data compromise at a merchant where you do business", and sends you a new card.  Then it takes me over an hour to get all of the automatic payments I have set up to use the new card that will no longer work on a set date.  One good thing is that after repeating the new number so many times I have it committed to memory.  ?

The alternative could be worse.

It's the easy way to get off the hook on auto renewal stuff that you want to get out of.  Did you ever try to cancel auto renewal?

This happened to me once. I had the card since 1996, and in 2015 IIRC it was used at a place that was compromised, but my account was not.  I had the number memorized which made online ordering easy.

Prove it.  Post it here from memory, including experation date and security code.

I use to change credit card companies every few years to get better rates. Not so much anymore as it's a pain the change all the accounts.

Bank of America seems to have a knack for doing this to me just before I take a trip.  I got a new one a couple of weeks ago.  I am not going to activate, just cancel it.  I'm switching to using an Amazon credit card.  Much better benefits.
