This was a pretty interesting exploit. When you go to kw: billing to change your pricing plan the token used was “Ra”. At the time the “Ra” token had no viewrule on it for Price Index’s with no billing such as 77(CL) and 0 (OH/Internal).

Jay discovered that you could use the Ra token for any Price Index. All you had to do was wait for the billing cycle to come along and you’re account would be converted. For instance, if you wanted a CL account you would send “Ra”, 77 and within 30 days you would have a CL account. This exploit lasted for a fairly long time before being patched. In 2000, a similar exploit was discovered with another billing token, “#P”.
