Many users have found that recharging ChatGPT Plus (OpenAI) directly with domestic bank cards is often rejected or payment fails, mainly due to bank risk control, regional restrictions or credit cards not supporting international subscription transactions.
β Why is bank card recharge rejected?
π« Domestic bank cards are restricted
Most banks prohibit payments to overseas technology companies by default (such as OpenAI)
π« Risk control rules upgraded
Abnormal IP, frequent payments and other behaviors will trigger risk control
π« Foreign currency subscriptions are not supported
Bank cards do not support US dollars or non-3D authentication payments (such as Master prepaid cards)
π« Unable to verify billing address
ChatGPT payment page requires consistency of US address
