Domain registry ratings

I had a site registered via register.com. No major problems, but 
they wanted $35 to renew it for another year. I decided to 
transfer it elsewhere.

As I started the transfer process with them online, they offered 
to cut the price to about $20. After requesting an auth code, 
needed to effectuate the transfer, I received a response that: 
"Your request has been processed and at this time it has been 
declined due to recent suspicious activity in your account." The 
note asked me to call a customer rep. When I called, she could 
find to record of any such suspicious activity, but attempted to 
learn why I wanted to transfer the domain. Subsequently, I 
received an email with the auth code along with an offer to renew 
at register.com for $15.99.
