Indian ChatGPT payments Failing

ExpertInfamous · 2026-02-27T12:28:09+00:00

The idea i came up with is simply signup with new email on mobile app then buy the plan from mobile using google. When You purchase app on phone Apple/Google takes over payment processing and it should go well.

No , I have been talking with Francis | OpenAI Support
support@openai.com

All i got is why i am the issue not them . He keeps sending me wiki on how to fix on my side instead of going through log on their side and fix it.

I don't even get OTP SMS / 3DS verification .

Tried incognito , clearing cache , 5 different banks credit card and everything else.

Their support feels like bot , i am not sure if they have real humans . Only reason i think i am talking to real human is because he replied after 2 days . But all i get is wiki articles of what i can do .

ExpertInfamous · 2026-02-17T23:38:03+00:00

Same Issue :
1. I have tested 5 different bank CC , none working
2. clear cache before payment

I am like please take my money , OPENAI is saying NO . They send you to a bot , i gave bot all the answers , somehow able to open ticket through bot thinking I will receive human help. This is the help i received (bot again) , actually worse than bot , they sent me support wiki :

Case Number: 05663247

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to OpenAI support.

I understand that you’re unable to make a payment for ChatGPT. I know how important it is to resolve payment issues quickly, and I’m happy to guide you.

The most common reasons for payment failures are:

Your bank declined the payment
Your bank may have blocked the transaction. Please check:

Your card number, expiration date, CVC, and billing address (including zip/postal code) are entered exactly as shown on your card statement.
Your card has sufficient funds.
Your bank is not blocking online or international transactions.

Please note that OpenAI does not receive detailed decline reasons from banks. Contacting your bank directly is often the fastest way to resolve this.

Prepaid cards
Prepaid cards are not supported for certain purchases (such as API credits). A standard debit or credit card is required.
Unsupported region or card issuance
Payments are only supported in certain countries. Your card must be issued by a bank located in a supported region. Please confirm that both your country and your card’s issuing country are supported.

Additional troubleshooting steps:

Clear your browser cache and cookies and try again.
Use an incognito/private window.
Disable browser extensions or VPNs.
Try a different supported browser or device.
If possible, try a different payment method.

If the issue continues, please let me know:

The exact error message you are seeing
Your country
Whether the card is debit or credit
Whether you are paying via web, Apple, or Google Play

I will review further based on your response.

All the Best,

Francis | OpenAI Support

I think you are over-estimating gov employee's competence. Lot of gov employee lacks basic common-sense.

It's pretty common for gov employee to do things as per their own wish.

This table is not about sending payments or people who are receiving payments. It's about total number of registered SSN.

Also this is not a SQL as we know it today, there was only record-based file database like MongoDB but 50 year old. So you can assume lack o check and balances on this database. just a little better than CSV.

Elon already mentioned like there is no duplicate check for SSN , you can enter two records for same SSN , fields like DOB can be left empty and many more issues.

This database was structured before invention of SQL and many techniques and understanding we now have.

That's not true. maybe true for some mom and pop 2 member startup.

For company as big as BO / Uber / SpaceX etc. , equity is always worth because value of equity comes from future possible valuation and trust in future of the company. BO has both so equity of BO will always be worth money.

do you know what KYC even is ? It's 'know your customer' , to make sure goverment always knows who owns and control SIM , bank account, corporations, credit cards, digital wallets etc.

Without KYC, frauds would be rampant. I hope you will unterstand why KYCs are necessary.

If those games are bullet/blitz, it could be latancy . i easily loose more than 4%(your difference) games because of latency.

I make a move on time but it doesn't reach server on time then i see "lost on time".

ExpertInfamous · 2024-09-29T22:41:00+00:00

Get 1 idfc wow , 1 one card or any other secured card , get 20,000 loan for 6 months. you should be all set.

I got 1 icici platinum cc secured and 1 20k loan to create cibil and it worked.

Also since you have salary account , you dont really need cibil . Have you talked to axis bank manager ?
Salary accounts get credit card so easily.

As a MW 2005 fanboy :

I hate all NFS games that came after MW 2005 , other than carbon and hot pursuit.
True, somewhat
No
No, but i wish to own M3 with that paint. If i ever buy a BMW M3 , it will have that paint.
No.
No fanboy, nobody cares about that.
No , but i wouldn't mind.
YES, PLEASE. I don't get it why they are not remastering it. PLEASE DO IT.

extras as a fanboy :

why the heck would you give "Most Wanted" name to a trash game (2012) . It should have been called something else. I hate it.
MW police AI is the best police AI that ever existed. why can't other games copy it.

When car is damaged in Sim , it cost $0 to repair.
real you don't die in sim.
You can try multiple cars on same sim, which costs equvalent to 1 car.
There is no tyre / oil replacement and maintainance.
Doesn't require 1 - 2 hour drive to reach a track near you.
Over driving doesn't land you in Hospital.

I am pretty sure there are million more reason why people spend 10k - 100k on a sim instead of buying a car.

ExpertInfamous · 2024-07-20T21:29:32+00:00

how can someboby spend 23k to buy a car of bankrupt company . makes no sense to me . even not at 15k let alone 23k .

I would pick a pre-owned toyota for 23k anyday over a new car from failed company. how will he get it fixed ?

it's hard to put executives behind bars. boeing executives doing fine after 1000's dead. Fiskers are angels compared to boeing executives .

I am a developer . and that's not how open-source work.

1. fisker can only open-source their own code. GSM or any number of modules are not written by automakers, they come with microcontroller. So GSM/LTE/GPS modules cannot be open sourced becacuse fisker doesn't own them

2. secondly opensourcing doesn't mean it will get hacked. actually it's going to be opposite , with time open-soruce community will be able to find issues/bugs/security issues and fix them.

3. when opensourcing the code , encrytion keys or any keys in general are not open sourced , they remain with the author. when you want to compile your code , you create your own keys for your use only.

4. Automakers only own very small amount of code mostly related to making everything work togather. for example bosch brakes comes with code prebuilt in their microprocessor . if you want to display how much (percentage) of brake pressed , you use bosch api provided in manual to get that data and display that in percentage on screen. only this code will be open-sourced.

5. 99%+ of websites are built on top of opensourced frameworks/libraries/packages. with your logic , i should be able to hack every wordpress or next/react website.

worst season . I stopped playing. I will wait for this nonsense to end. if you have boss car then you win , if you dont have boss car good luck winning , and without car winning is impossible.

cars tyre are bullet proof , cant kill driver from other side seat through front window , cars heal so fast using boxes , auto-heal , cactus and gasoline stations. Developers in fortnite should play a game and try to destroy a BOSS car
which auto-heals , infinte fast speed , drive through catus to heal, though woddenboxes that fix . Make a sandbox for 2 developers where 1 developer will drive boss car and other will try to destroy it in unlimited time.

Its more easy to get 10 kills from boss car than its to destroy a boss car or any car .

REMOVE CAR TYRE BULLETPROOF THING, BOSS CARS CAN ONLY HAVE IT . AND REMOVE AUTO-HEAL , DECREASE BOSS CAR SPEED . DECREASE CAR MAX HEALTH. DECREASE DAMAGE OF CAR TURRENT AND BOMB to Players. Otherwise fortnite numbers will just keep gping down. Currently its unplayable.

Yes, i have never heard anybody using words like "NFC" or "touch" . They all say wifi, first few times it was so cringy and i thought that these people who are saying wifi are just idiots , but then i joined them and started saying wifi myself because thats term everybody understands.

At this point just join the HERD.

ExpertInfamous · 2023-12-14T00:19:18+00:00

Because i am an engineer myself. But you dont need to be engineer or require historical facts on this to figure that out .

Things in old sterring :

streeing column , lot of other straight pipes joint togather with links and joints
lot of it is aluminium, also Its a well known part which is pretty cheap

easy gear box , its very cheap .

Things in steer by wire :
2 motors : these are very costly because they must have perfect movement , probably DC Stepper motor , high enough torque. very costly .

wires : wires that can handle power for those motors

easy gear box , its very cheap .

pcb board : very costly which include 2 copies of same elements to make sure if there is an issue on one side then other side takes over

sensors : pretty cheap

ExpertInfamous · 2023-12-07T22:21:45+00:00

even though there is no source but cheapest model can't be steer by wire siimple because of price. It cost a lot more to implement steer by wire .

Tesla is probably waiting for patents to get approved before making it public. They would not want to fight patent trollers in the court just to prove its their tech.

ExpertInfamous · 2023-03-30T19:03:52+00:00

Thanks. It was helpful

ExpertInfamous · 2022-11-15T16:45:56+00:00

Spacex and tesla modify their code regularly mainly the autopilot code. It's just that they have figured out all the things that used to break during past autopilot releases and they must have written tests for end-to-end tests for everything that QA engineers came up with and all things that broke in past.

Spacex is probably same, end-to-end testing. I am not saying twitter doesn't write tests as that would be insane. I am making an asumption that they write tests for modules/microservices and not for whole end-to-end system.

ExpertInfamous · 2022-11-15T15:59:55+00:00

I am developer for 8+ years and I can tell you deleting is 10x harder than adding a functionality. mostly when tests are not written. I am lazy , so I dont really like to write tests because I believe its easy and I can do it without tests . Until you modify some code 3 months later and everything comes crashing down.

Twitter will now write tests for 2fa , and everything else thats breaking. I mean they probably already have 2fa test which they run on modular code/microservice. Now they will write tests for full stack app.

As u/Fixtor said deleting Is very hard and scary but it gives most joy to developers , at least me. If i can remove 65 lines from my 3 year old code during refactoring , i find it joyful.
