No, this is a continuation of the original card. Although the card number of the new card will change, it points to the original account number. Therefore, if the original card fails to arrive in one year and is swiped three times, the annual fee for that year can be waived, so the card can be refreshed in the remaining year. One more thing, if you won't use this card for the time being, you can also not activate the new card first, and there will be no annual fee before activation.
