Just realized I have a pending refund for several hundred dollars for a defective item I purchased. What happens when the vendor tries to enter a refund for a card number that's been cancelled?

It goes on to your account. Sometimes even recurring charges will automatically pick up the new number.

Just had my Capital One card stolen again in just 2 months. This time the person had my email address and my phone number. They tried buying a Meta headset and some games.
