My understanding is that under the hood this does happen, but in the company's favor-some memberships will survive your credit card changing? There was a patio11 article about it which I can't find at the moment. (edit: maybe not. maybe it was a tweet? in any case I remember it being a thing)

I have never(?) updated my Netflix billing information, but I know it has survived many new cards/numbers.

Which feels like it defeats the purpose of getting a new generated card.

well, the idea is that you have a contract with them and that determines the money you owe, not the actual card. There's some mechanism under the hood to update the recurring subscription to use your new card when it changes.

Well then they can go after me to get their money were I to fall behind. Not that they get a permanent linkage to my account.
