Debit Card Number Compromised Overseas

Hi all,

I think my debit card number is compromised, but I'm not 100% sure (i dont want an ethical discussion here, there have been no fraudulent transactions and the situation was a bit grey so im not sure). The problem is I am currently overseas and moving between locations quite quickly (a few days at each spot).

I have locked the debit card, and I got a pre approved credit card from my bank to do tap to pay while out and about. Would I be safe to just leave my card locked until I am using it for an ATM withdrawal or for a hotel/hostel to charge me and then get it replaced in a couple weeks when I am back in the US? The ideal situation is for the bank to get me a replacement card, but they give a several day window for that and I am not sure where ill be at when it would actually arrive and these hotels/hostels will not hold mail if I am not actively a guest when it comes in.
