So I purchased a year's worth of Live... but it has now been over a year and a half since I first purchased it. I'm not complaining or anything, but is there somne hidden bonuses or something that I'm missing?

If you paid by credit card then it automatically renews itself.

Or you just got lucky with a pre-paid card.;)

Here's a quick question, does one have to have a credit card in order to subscribe to Xbox Live?

You can buy time cards, but you may need a credit card for verification of ID or something (Can't remember, been a while since I set mine up)

Yeah that's what I was wondering. Because I read on Wikipedia that one must need passport and credit card validation.

Nope, nothing at all except for the code on the back of the card.

You might want to fix that, I've heard countless storys of people eventually gettin suspended until they pay up their fees yet they can't log on to pay said fees and lose their accounts.

if you started with a credit card and paid for the year it will renew automaticaly, if you have cancled that card or it has expired they will continue to let you play on live, eventually they will cut you off and give you a bill for the time that wasnt paid for. you should check your email that is linked to your live id account.

The lesson is to NEVER give Microsoft your credit card number, it's like pulling teeth to get them to cancel.
