It might depend on your bank, but if you request it, it should be possible for them to issue a new card on the same account without cancelling the old card. That's a good point.

I could also buy a phone that has NFC / tap to pay support, and link my card to Google Wallet and use that. An awful lot of the place I shop support that these days...
