Both of my banks (Chase, CapitalOne) will give me a temporary card on demand. Takes a few days for the permanent card as it has my team's logo on it (LSU).

My Chase card has been hacked many times. I was never offered a temp card. Who do you have to blow to get a temp........................
I would switch to a credit union in a heartbeat if there weren't a Chase on every corner here with ATMs. They are also in my main grocery store, and a block from my house. They have never done me wrong.
Replacements have either been over-nighted, or the last two times were UPS'd in about 4 days. They send them to my house, which sucks. The driver will leave it on my front porch without even touching the doorbell. I caught the fucker both times.
It is good to have a back up plan. I have two CC with Chase and a Debit. I also have a separate AMEX and a few other backups that aren't activated. Getting cash isn't an issue because of so many bank branches.
If your bank isn't local, I can see where you may have some issues. I couldn't find any Credit Unions with cash-back-for-purchases cards, but maybe that has changed????
