Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, with at least one processor, a first notification based on issuance of at least one first new payment device;
in response to receiving the first notification, generating, with at least one processor, at least one first new token associated with the at least one first new payment device;
linking, with at least one processor and in at least one database, the at least one first new token to at least one previous token associated with at least one previously issued payment device;
receiving, with at least one processor, a second notification based on issuance of at least one second new payment device;
in response to receiving the second notification, generating, with at least one processor, at least one second new token associated with the at least one second new payment device;
linking, with at least one processor and in the at least one database, the at least one second new token to the at least one first new token such that the at least one previous token, the at least one first new token, and the at least one second new token are serially linked in a chain of tokens;
determining, with at least one processor, to deactivate the at least one first new payment device;
in response to determining to deactivate the at least one first new payment device, modifying, with at least one processor and in the at least one database, the chain to remove a first link from between the at least one previous token and the at least one first new token, to remove a second link from between the at least one first new token and the at least one second new token, and to link the at least one previous token to the at least one second new token;
receiving, with at least one processor, a transaction request comprising a token of the chain generated before the at least one second new token; and
processing the transaction request by communicating, with at least one processor, the at least one second new token to an issuer.
