Details
There are two ways to pay ChatGPT subscription fees using a US gift card balance. You can add funds to a US App Store account with an App Store gift card, or buy an OpenAI gift card from Best Buy.
The first method is to change the Alipay region to San Francisco, buy an App Store gift card, add it to a US account, and use it to pay the subscription fee. The second is to buy a Best Buy gift card in the same way, then use that card to buy an OpenAI gift card from Best Buy. Once the card is issued, enter the gift card PIN in the chat window on the ChatGPT webpage. Subscribe after the balance is credited.
Only one US account is linked per account. If an existing account has been blocked, you can purchase a new US account, but new accounts undergo payment risk review during the first 48 hours. The poster says the full process went smoothly when they tried it, but they do not guarantee payment risk management.
