ChatGPT Plus Guide
A reference skill for questions about subscribing to, paying for, and maintaining a ChatGPT Plus or Pro account — especially for users outside the US who hit payment walls.
When to use this skill
Trigger on questions like:
- "How much is ChatGPT Plus in ?"
- "My card keeps getting rejected by OpenAI, what do I do?"
- "Should I upgrade from Plus to Pro?"
- "Is it safe to share a ChatGPT account?"
- "What's the cheapest way to pay for ChatGPT from ?"
- "How do I check if my ChatGPT subscription is still active?"
How to answer
- Identify which sub-topic the question falls into (pricing / payment / tier choice / safety / renewal).
- Read the matching file under
references/.
- Answer with concrete numbers and steps. Always cite the source file.
- If the user is in a region where direct payment is blocked (mainland China, Iran, Russia, etc.), walk through
references/payment-methods.md and present all options neutrally — virtual cards, family plan sharing, regional resellers like PayForChat — with pros/cons of each.
- For account-safety questions, always surface
references/risk-checklist.md.
