What's the best loophole that you've ever found?

I coach a high school team.

We recently bought airfare with Spirit Airlines to take nine students to a competition.

Two of the students cancelled about a month out from the trip, and we had to replace them with

two different students.

Spirit Airlines policy, no name changes.

Can't even pay a fee to change the name.

The tickets are basically lost. I have to buy new

tickets. Spirit's customer service is overseas, and they plainly don't care at all about customer

service, because they don't actually work for Spirit, etc., etc. Except that Spirits Airlines does

allow passengers to correct misspellings, and these folks don't really recognize nonsense names.

So over four calls, I changed the names of the cancelled students to the names of the new students,

two letters at a time. No one at Spirit Customer Service made a note, because who would care,

and no one ever notices that the correct names during the intermediate steps were nonsense.

Also, F.Spirit Airlines.

Some new magazine was asking college students to send out subscription forms by email to all their

friends. For each 25 emails you sent, you'd get a $10 Amazon gift card. Turns out they didn't

need to be real emails. I made about $100 before they told me to stop.

At my university, there was a command which you could use on their Unix systems to get a list of all the email addresses in the university,

which is why I guess my university email was always spammed. I wasn't hacking. They just didn't set up

user permissions properly. My justification as to why it's not hacking is that we had authorization to log into the system with our own user accounts,

and the command we used as a thoroughly documented, supported operating system command used with its intended purpose.
