Buying Plus account at vimeo.com

One winter morning, a work colleague noticed that different browsers on the Presenting Vimeo Plus page show different subscription costs. He had it $ 49.95 and $ 59.95. Immediately crept in suspicions why this Vimeo so strangely puts down the cost of an annual subscription. Although on my machine all browsers showed the same amount.

After a little research, we realized that the price was saved in a cookie with the name 5vimeo_cart: There were no reasons for such different affixing of amounts. As an experiment, they decided to try to put their value and try to buy a subscription for a year. Just for this there was a suitable card with $ 4 in the account (there was nothing to lose, anyway, they would not have been withdrawn anymore). Change the cookie, specify the data card, and voila - year subscription for $ 0.01: .

The page says that the price is $ 59.95, but according to the bank statement - $ 0.01 is written off. After that, I immediately wrote a letter to the Vimeo administration describing the problem and our atrocities.

I didn’t think that such a serious project would have data validation on the server.

PS. The post was written already in January and lay in drafts. Just tried to repeat all this, probably all the same the bug has already been closed, although no one answered my letter.
