Will swapping payment methods interfere with my Freedom Paragon Points?

Thread title, really, but let me elaborate just the same.

My old card that I was using to subscribe to City of Heroes for the last three or four years has expired and I've had a new one issued to me. My bank manager cut it up with scissors, which to me was a novel experience. The point, though, is that now I have to swap to my new card before my bill date is due (which is still a while away, luckily), and I don't seen an option to do this on my PlayNC account. The only way I can think of to do this is to cancel my account billing, then restart it and enter the new card's details, instead.

Here's the kicker, though - won't this somehow interfere with the Paragon Points we're already accumulating towards Freedom? I remember a few people got burned with the Vanguard Pack promotion that required uninterrupted subscription for a few months when they had to swap payment methods or had their cards expire and such, and I was wondering if that won't be a problem when I go about cancelling and resubscribing. I wonder, furthermore, if there isn't some kind of "Swap Card" or "Add Card" option in my game account management that I'm not seeing. I know PayPal have that, but I'm sure they use a different infrastructure.

Basically, thread: Will swapping payment methods interfere with my Paragon Points acquisition and is there a better way to do this than cancelling?

Sam, I see a Change Card link under Billing Summary in the NCSoft account screen.

EDIT: Hmm...come to think of it, that might be just the card you need to have on file so you can purchase things like character slots and respecs from the login screen. So...not sure. In the past, I believe I did have to effectively cancel and resub to change info, and it was indeed a scary process. I don't think I ever lost anything, such as vet time, but could not say with 100% certitude.

I would imagine that as long as your subscription doesn't lapse, they won't care.

I've removed my payment method and then sign up again with the new card. It avoids the break up e-mail survey.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I kind of wanted to both ask for advise and complain a little bit. I finally got around to swapping cards... Or trying to, because, according to PlayNC, their transaction was "refused." According to my bank, however, I was charged 0.00 USD and they encountered an error they're listing as "Incorrect amount." Granted, my money is in Euro, but that's never been a problem before, nor was it a problem when I registered with PayPal with this new card.

Yes, I did already take it up with PlayNC customer support, but being that today is Saturday, I don't expect to hear back for another couple of days. But still, does anyone have any idea what this could mean? Am I going to have to go back to my bank and try to sort something out, or is this something that's fixable on their end? I'm kind of anxious to get this done before my bill date rolls around in September, as I haven't missed a bill date since 2004.
