🤖ChatGPT How To Get a Free Month ChatGPT Plus Without Worrying About Cancelling Another Subscription

[Zwielicht]

So, OpenAI sent me an e-mail today about how I can get ChatGPT Plus for one month free

As far as I'm aware, they're just doing this right now on their plans page and you don't need an invite. I presume this is in response to those who cancelled their subscriptions over recent events.

No matter. Let's claim this one month free offer.

But wait... like every other company, it's not really free. You see, they want your credit card details in order to pull the exact same stunts they always do: hope you forget about the subscription for recurring income or charge you early so you can't cancel it in time.

Thankfully, there's an easy solution to this problem: by setting up a single-use card using Privacy.com.

After the card has been set up, make sure you set a $1 spend limit to the card.

After submitting the single-use card details, you'll now have ChatGPT Plus without having to worry about yet another subscription.

As an extra security measure, I also paused the card on Privacy.com after the $0 authorisation transaction went through.

So use different cards from the same ip for the trial after it expires or what?

I’m not sure how OpenAI handles that, but you would at the very least use different cards since these are single-use cards that only last for 24 hours if a $0 anuthorisation occurs.

If they’re anything like the other companies I’ve used this kind of trick with, they likely don’t punish the user for not being able to charge them. But I’ll see what happens in a month.

Just to update everyone on this, It's been a month and a half and they still haven't cancelled my ChatGPT Plus. They did try to charge my single-use card a 2 times, once on April 13 and then other time on April 18th, but the charges didn't go through.

If you want ChatGPT Plus, then I'd highly recommend this if only to get it for a whole month and a half for free. If you want to pay for it as well, then know that you can just wait for it to expire and then pay for it to get some extra time out of the membership.

Okay, I’ll look into that one next!

I signed up for Claude, but their only offer is a $1.99 trial for 7 days. I’ll wait to see how long it takes them to send a free trial offer.

They tried to charge again today, so that’s 3 charge attempts.

I still have Plus.
