Most likely you're grandfathered.  I didn't try to look up your exact join date, but I see a first blog post in November 2007.  I think that puts you in the group that was given free Rainmaker status no matter point total.

Lucky you!  Until I reached 500,000 points, I paid but ActiveRain Member Support did some quick investigative work to find out the reason.

You've been around long enough that you don't have to worry about paying to be a Rainmaker.

Either you have a credit card on file and are still paying for the status, or there is a glitch.  ActiveRain Member Support can better answer the question.
