Cloudflare now has a registrar service FYI: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/products/registrar/

About a year ago I helped a friend transfer all her domains from GoDaddy to CloudFlare. Her card got jacked so she ended up in the same scenario of no available payment method.

Except with CloudFlare, she didn’t notice it was lapsed until they modified her DNS. The domain was in REGISTRAR HOLD state. We couldn’t do anything via the UI. Reaching out to CF support had a misfire, because the first support rep thought it was about CDN not Registrar. A couple of polite emails (and like 60 days) (she did not make it a priority to resolve) later, the domain was restored. I was kind of surprised because I thought some kind of ICANN hammer drops right about 60 days and forces an auction.

Anyway, my highest accolades for registrar go to CloudFlare.

Er. Is that really the conclusion here? Did you mean to mention that they sent her a warning email in advance and she just missed it? Because the way you've written it makes it sound like CF still screwed up but made it possible to eventually recover.
