Does ordering a new credit card cancel the old one?
When you report the lost credit card, the issuer will most likely cancel your old card number in an effort to prevent any unauthorized charges and then send you a new card with a new number. But it could take a few days for the replacement card to arrive.
When you order a new card, the old one does not automatically cancel. Typically, both cards remain active until you explicitly close the old account or report it as lost or stolen.
When you upgrade your credit card, your old card typically becomes inactive, but the account remains the same. Your card issuer usually sends a new card with updated benefits, while your account history continues without interruption, which helps maintain your credit score.
Yes, when a new debit or credit card is activated, the old card typically becomes deactivated. This is a standard security measure to prevent unauthorized use of the old card.
Your previous card will be deactivated. Lock your card so no one else can use it, and then go ahead and request a replacement card if you're unable to find it. If you are receiving a replacement card for any other reason, your previous card will be deactivated once you activate your new one.

No, getting a new debit card doesn't necessarily cancel your subscription. Many card issuers and merchants use systems that allow them to transfer any subscriptions to your new card, allowing them to continue working.
If I change to a different card, will my existing card stop working before the new one arrives? No. Your old card will only stop working 30 days after the transfer to your new card has completed.
Closing your credit card won't affect your new credit unless you're closing it to open a new card. If you feel more comfortable having only one credit card at a time, this might seem like a sensible approach. We don't want to discourage you from opening a new credit card that better fits your needs and habits.

Can I Still Use My Debit Card if I Ordered a New One? Yes, you can still use your card until the new one arrives. The old one will work until it expires or until you activate your new debit card. Your bank might still ask that you cut up or shred the old card to prevent anyone from using it fraudulently.
Call customer service: You can call the phone number on the back of your credit card to reach customer service. You'll be able to check the status of your card and, if it is deactivated, you can ask about reactivation. Make a purchase: Another way to check if a card is active is to try and use it to make a purchase.
Sign in to your online account, and select the card you want to close. Click on the “I want to” button and find “Close Account” under the "Control Your Card" section. From here, you'll be guided through how to close your credit card account.
You can continue to use your current credit card until your new one arrives. When you have the new card, cut up or shred the old one. Your automatic payments will continue as scheduled since your new credit card will have the same number.
As soon as your new card arrives you can activate it and start using it. For your security, we recommend that you destroy the old card once you activate the new one.
If you don't activate your card your account will still be open, you just won't be able to use it. The one exception to that rule is if you opened a card with instant access, such as the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express or the Prime Visa, and received a temporary card number.
What if your card is just damaged or worn out—for example, the magnetic stripe on the back has stopped working or the numbers are worn off and hard to read? In that case, you'll be issued a new credit card with the same account number.
Key Takeaways. Replacing a lost or stolen credit card does not hurt your credit score. The credit card account's history and other information is simply transferred to a new account and you can get a new card. Most credit card issuers will not hold the cardholder responsible for fraudulent charges.
Credit card replacement is a simple process. Firstly, inform the bank of the damaged Credit Card. You can call the Customer Care number and report that your Credit Card has been damaged. The bank will then hotlist the damaged Credit Card.
If you currently have a recurring payment and update your payment method, it does not automatically switch the recurring charge to the new card. To switch out your payment method on a subscription, you'll need to cancel your old recurring payment and start a brand new subscription with your new card.
How do I cancel a credit card I just ordered?
Call issuer
Call your credit card issuer to cancel your card. Be prepared that you may be given a counter-offer to keep the card open. If you're still sure you want to close, say no and continue with the process. You'll want to confirm that you don't have an existing balance on the card.
The bottom line
Keeping the card open can help maintain a healthy credit score by contributing to your credit history and utilization ratio. However, there are valid reasons to consider canceling, such as high annual fees or difficulties managing multiple accounts.
As you've no doubt guessed, getting a new card does not affect your direct debits. A direct debit is linked to your bank account rather than your debit card. As such, no matter how much your card and card number change, your direct debits will remain unaffected.
If your card was damaged
You can continue to use your current credit card until your new one arrives.
Your account, including its dues and credit limit, remains active unless you've requested closure. Even if your card has expired, you can access your credit card account online or through your bank's mobile app. Your account will show any pending balances, the due date, and the minimum amount due.
