Lost Card Question

[Marcos8]

Hello all. I called my CC company to report a lost card and to have them re issue another one. The woman said no problem all she had to do was close the old account and issue a new account and card to me. Those are the exact words she used. How will this affect my AAoA if an account has to be closed and now a new one is starting? Thanks

you'll be issued a new card number not a new account.

Thats what I assumed would happen but the lady said my card number was my acount number and therefore had to be closed and a new one opened. I wasn't sure if that meant that on my CR that an account now showed as closed and a new one opened... Thanks

That's really odd. You may want to give them another call to make sure that doesn't happen. You do not want a new account right?
