Did they send you a replacement card that is chip-enabled?

I think debit cards that use the old magnetic stripes can still be copied by the bad guys whereever you swipe the card.

Yes, they did send me a new card with the embedded chip.
In my case (maybe I didn’t read the fine print) they (Visa) just cutoff my old mag stripe card. Tried to use the old card twice at the gas pump but it was rejected. Called Visa and they enabled that one transaction allowing me to gas my car so I could get home. I gave them an earful, too.

I’m known as a “dead beat” in the credit card world because I NEVER carry a balance. The bill comes in, it’s paid in full.
