When a credit card expires and your bank sends you a new one, do they change the original credit card number?

Let's say your credit card has an expiration date of April 2009. Next month you receive a new credit card from your bank. Does the new one have the same number than the old one? Or do you usually receive a completely new one.


Thanks.|||Usually, but not always, it is the same number.|||Very unlikely that the number will change, call them up and check it out!|||The new card has the same information expect the expiration date and the SIC Code are different. Once they send you the new card the old card is deem invalid.|||Most likely it will remain the same, unless they feel there is a breach of your identity|||It is almost always the same number, and only the expiration date will be changed.|||If you lose your card or it is stolen you will get a new number. If your card is up for expiration and you have an open account (not closed by you or the bank) you will get a new card about 2-4 weeks before the last day of the month in which it expires. So if the expiration date is 04/09 you would have gotten it by now. If not, call customer service to report it lost.





The account number will be the same upon renewal but will have obviously a different expiration date and security code.|||No because it means they have to set up an entire new account for you and all of your history stays under the old account.
