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.

Your new card will have a new number and expiry date, but the old one will remain valid.

In any case, these days my web browser remembers card numbers and fills them in automatically, so it’s really not such a big deal to update card numbers online.

That's a good point. I guess I should call them and see if that's an option. If so, that sounds like the best of both worlds.

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...
