That sounds like tremendous trouble if you have your card on any sites like Amazon.

It was indeed a nuisance, but when a fraudulent transaction appeared on my statement, it had to be done. I just found it convenient to not update the card on the NYT.

Virtual cards are great for this. My brother keeps recommending privacy.com, I need to look into it.

I used virtual cards for decades. PayPal had a Firefox extension that did this in the early aughts.

I used getfinal.com for several years too but they went bankrupt. I don't even try anymore
