@Kachina624      Thanks for the tip!     The lock on my PO Box is so bad, I have to carry a pliers to open it.   

I complained to the post office....and they told me it would be $40 to put a new lock on.     di

It must depend on the bank. I just had to replace my card and wasn't charged for it.

Doesn't seem right you have to pay to replace a faulty card

I just replaced my husband's card earlier this month because it was spliting apart in layers.  No fee.

I've had that problem with my debit  card, too.  It works fine at the drive-thru window at the bank, but sometimes is a problem at the check-out at the supermarket.  Very embarrassing, but will work after a couple of tries.

Haven't thought about replacing it.

Have you tried WD-40? I say this because my aunt past last year and we were having the hardest time getting in and out of her rusty locked mail box, with a key. My brother put WD-40 on the lock and it works perfectly fine now.

@icezeus      Yeah....it crossed my mind.    But, the box is not my property, and the fee for "tampering" with it might cost a LOT MORE!    I keep thinking that there HAS to be a way of negotiating this.   di

Class action lawsuit????  You've got too much time on your hands.

I've never lost a card so I have no idea what's going on.  But I do know this.  Don't like it, vote with your feet.  There are a gazillion credit card issuers.  Find one that you do like and apply for a card there.  If you have a good credit rating you'll probably get a new card from a new issuer no problem.
