y point was that someone let their subscriptions lapse, like Chac did, and they had bad CC info (I believe), which lead to Microsoft insisting that the charge be paid before allowing the account to become Gold again.

Hell, I think that shit happened to Zew too and it was the reason he changed tags from Zewone to Zew0ne. He got a new subscription card on sale and didn't want to pay $50 for the renewal price that MS insisted he pay, so he just made a new tag... (or something like that).
