After a year and a half of use, the magnetic strip on the back of my (student account) paypal debit card is completely knackered. Only certain places still swipe it correctly, and I can't use it in an ATM. Most places have to type in the CCN manually.
The thing is, I don't want to have to cancel the card, because I still need to use it daily in order to eat. Is there any way for me to get a new card without cancelling the old one? It always takes a week or two for delivery, and I'd be left starving.
