ChatGPT Plus Subscription

The ChatGPT free version is sufficient, but Plus benefits are also tempting. Recently I’ve seen everyone gradually opening Plus, so I hurried to catch up 👌.

Here I’ll mark down the subscription process

0706 Update ⚠️

1. Currently Plus is recommended through iOS Turkey region store subscription, Turkey region Apple ID top-up can use official gift cards.
2. For OpenAI API, it’s still recommended to use US cards, not recommended to top up too much with nobepay due to potential risks

Plus Benefits

According to official introduction, opening Plus has the following benefits:

• Can use ChatGPT even during peak hours
• Faster response times
• Priority access to new features and improvements, such as GPT4 Model
  • GPT4 limitation: GPT-4 currently has a cap of 25 messages every 3 hours.

For detailed introduction see https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-plus#ref-A

Prerequisites

• OpenAI account registration, guide see Using ChatGPT

After normal access, continue reading

Getting Plus Payment Eligibility

Payment is not available to everyone

1. Waitlist registration

   https://share.hsforms.com/1_-FpF2GTRJORIb83N3aK7Q4sk30

   After success, when accessing ChatGPT, there will be an Upgrade to Plus button in the bottom left corner, or a direct popup prompting for upgrade

   If upgrade options are prompted, you can continue

   

Opening US Card with nobepay

After actual operation, nobepay solution is recommended because Alipay direct CNY top-up is more convenient

1. Visit registration address https://nobepay.com/app/login?type=azmzep&code=D3BFA23

   1. Invitation code is required, invitation code may expire, if there are issues please contact via comments

      • D3BFA23

   2. WeChat number fill in truthfully

   3. Phone number fill in truthfully, convenient for receiving verification codes

2. Overview page - Online recharge https://nobepay.com/app/online-recharge

   1. nobepay recharge requires at least 500CNY, personally worried about service going down, so I chose the minimum 500CNY
   2. 500CNY can later be withdrawn on the online recharge page - apply for withdrawal

3. Quick card opening, https://nobepay.com/app/card-open

   1. Actual testing shows 556766 card segment can open Plus later
   2. Recommend topping up 30 dollars
   3. Virtual address recommended https://www.meiguodizhi.com/
      • Choose any tax-free state, The US has 5 tax-free states: Oregon, Alaska, Delaware, Montana and New Hampshire, fill in these addresses to avoid having to pay taxes later. Note that card virtual address can be edited again later, no big problem
   4. Card closure balance will be refunded, opening fee 1 dollar non-refundable

4. Check card information

   1. After successful card opening, in https://nobepay.com/app/card-list, click card - manage - view card to understand specific card information.

Total cost: Opening fee (1 dollar) + top-up amount + service fee (3%)

Note: nobepay US cards don’t support Apple business payments, such as Apple Store subscriptions.

Withdrawal

1. Wallet balance supports withdrawal, Overview => Online recharge => Apply for withdrawal
2. Handling fee 10CNY

If prompted Sorry, withdrawal function is under maintenance, please contact platform online customer service with registered phone number for processing

Then contact customer service for assistance with withdrawal

Only supports regular account (RMB) balance withdrawal, no handling fee for withdrawal. Please provide registration phone number/account balance/withdrawal amount/Alipay account/Alipay name/Alipay payment QR code. All the above information will be registered for you, and it will arrive within 3 working days

支付

回到ChatGPT，点击Upgrade Plan，填写卡信息，点击确认即可

• name部分填写firstname+lastname即可

• 代理导致的支付报错有以下几种，遇到该情况，隐私模式/全局代理/换代理节点，多试试，总能成功

  • Your card has been declined.
  • Your credit card was declined. Try paying with a debit card instead.

如上操作后回到https://chat.openai.com/chat会发现，提示Plus了。

扣款失败

比如我这里充值不多，所以一开始扣款失败了，openai会尝试再次自动扣款，但是不确定会执行几次。假如想手动重新尝试扣款。

Your payment method was declined. Please select another payment method to use for ChatGPT Plus Subscription.

可以手动添加国内visa卡，造成失败，之后会出现继续支付失败的款项，这样就可以扣款成功了。

Final Thoughts

The key to success is proxy and nobepay. After all, nobepay requires at least 500 top-up, let’s see how long it can last, since the domestic environment is too special.
