Credit cards do the exact same thing. Sure they will deactivate it, but if you put a charge on it for 60 days it is reactivated. This was a pain for me because almost all my bills are automatic payments.
- lpgauth 16y agoAsk for a new one and then cancel it. All those automatic payments will bounce off the first card and you won't have that problem anymore.
- zaatar 16y agoDoesn't reporting your card stolen (which is required to get a new number/card) adversely affect your credit scores?
- floatingatoll 16y agoHasn't yet for me. Never heard of that, either. But I looked it up and that can happen when the bank makes a mistake and lists your new card as a new line of credit. So you could fix it through the dispute process, which is painful. Whether the new account is "adverse" or not depends on your individual report.
