It's a new thing. The aim is so companies like Netflix don't lose subscribers when the subscriber loses their card and requests a new one.

The implementation is very shoddy - a mapping of old to new cards is distributed to any big provider who has charged the old card.

I believe the forwarding is only done if the card was marked as a replacement due to damage or expiry. If reported as stolen the forwarding shouldn't happen. Not sure what happens in the case of lost.

OP said they didn't report it as stolen so that might be the reason why the charges are being forwarded.
