Even for damaged cards? I would give them a call and just tell that that the magnetic strip doesn't work. I had the SPG card but cancelled it and haven't applied for the Bonvoy Card as yet. Maybe it is specific to Amex. If so, that is a huge PITA.
I have received a replacement card before (not SPG/Bonvoy) and inadvertently cut it up instead of the old one, requested another card and it arrived in the usual processing time. Same account & Pin, one digit higher on the card count.
