wow - this is crazy! I've done lots of Prime free trails - never had an amex or amz card, but nothing funny happens to my cards when I join and cancel.
For clarity's sake, I have an Amazon branded AMEX card. If you don't have an Amazon branded card (either from AMEX, or I believe Chase issues the Visa version), then I wouldn't expect anything to happen with your cards. My AMZ AMEX card gives me 5% back when I have Prime, but only 3% back when I don't have Prime. But why they feel the need to send a new card with each change, I have no idea (since I continue using the old one just fine and they know whether to do 3% or 5% based on Prime status and not the specific card I'm using).
