Is it possible to CHANGE an existing credit card number?

Question

I really want to change my existing credit card number, I DON'T want to get a new credit card. I think one is enough. Is there any way I can do this and if there is, will it be a hassle? 

Like, will the credit card company ask a million intrusive questions or decline? Anyone know A: HOW I can change the number and B: WHAT I can expect if I do?

You can report your card lost - they will close that account.  Issue a new card with new number.  Your previous charges will transfer to new card.  It will have the same credit limit, balances and all that.

Like - no, they will not ask a million intrusive questions when reporting a card lost.

I can't imagine why you would want to change an existing account's number - if card isn't lost or stolen.  You are still liable for the charges on the account.  And changing the account number doesn't increase - or start over - any credit limits.

Report your card stolen.  They will issue you a new card, with a new number, but you will technically keep the same account.
