After reading this thread, I've been tempted to request a new card from my bank since I purchase a lot at Home Depot and rarely carry cash on me. I was a bit surprised my bank didn't automatically do it like they did after Sony was hacked in 2011. But I was dreading having to update all my autopay utilities and online stores.
And then today my bank made the decision for me by mail saying they're issuing new cards. At least this time they're giving advance notice so I don't get a declined at a cash register and they're leaving current cards active for another 2 weeks. I freaked out the last time since they didn't even send out a notice, just cut off cards without any warning and I thought my banking info had been stolen and accounts cleaned out.
