I do see random fraud charges on my cards requiring a new card every couple of years. Seems like it might be from travel usage (hotel, restaurant) or online purchases, but I can't be sure.
I also find that I misplace cards at about the same frequency. I blame my easy distactabiity and I don't think my wife has ever lost a card. I've started using individual virtual cards for all my recurring expenses, so when a card has to be cycled I don't have to run around and update all my recurring vendors. I also use them for untrusted online merchants, but I'm not sure that helps.
