    The way cards work with continuous payment authority items such as your monthly subscription to something like spotify - is that behind the scenes your original card that you entered, which was then replaced, links to the new details automatically at the banks end. If company X has taken £9.99 a month from you on the old card for the last year, they let company X continue to take £9.99 a month once you get a new card, without you having to re-input the details,
    Just to point out, it is not at bank end, but a Visa/Mastercard system that retailers pay them for access to the new card numbers.
