Quick answer
Is there a ChatGPT gift card, and where can I buy one?
Yes, there is a ChatGPT gift card: OpenAI's own US card, from US$15 to US$250, sold by participating US retailers such as Best Buy and redeemed at chatgpt.com/redeem by a user in the United States. It pays ChatGPT on the web only. As of 29 October 2026, AISubswithCrypto takes it on request for crypto, at face value. Outside the US, an App Store or Google Play card of your country is the route.

How long does a ChatGPT gift card last?
According to AISubswithCrypto's price check of 29 October 2026, the largest ChatGPT gift card, US$250, pays 12 months of ChatGPT Plus, with US$10 left. Or it pays 31 months of ChatGPT Go, with US$2 left. The smallest, US$15, does not reach one month of Plus. It pays one month of Go.
Method: card value ÷ OpenAI's USD list price on the web (Go US$8, Plus US$20 a month), rounded down to whole months, before any tax. Each renewal is taken from the balance first. When the balance is short, OpenAI uses your other payment method; "otherwise, your subscription may not renew."
Who can redeem a ChatGPT gift card?
Only a ChatGPT user in the United States. OpenAI's help says the cards are "currently available only in the US, for use in US-based ChatGPT accounts". You must also "use an account billed in US dollars to redeem a gift card."
That rules out most of the world. A user in India, Brazil or Germany cannot redeem it, even with a US card in hand. For them the route is an App Store card of their own country in the ChatGPT iPhone app, or a Google Play card on Android (see below).
What does the ChatGPT gift card pay, and what not?
It pays ChatGPT on the web, nothing else. OpenAI: "You can use the redeemed balance for subscription purchases, upgrades, and credit purchases on ChatGPT web only."
- Not the iPhone or Android app. "Gift card balances can't pay for subscriptions billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store."
- No cash-out. "Redeemed gift-card balances cannot be transferred to another account, withdrawn or exchanged for cash."
- No resale by the holder. The issuer terms forbid selling the card; giving it as a gift is allowed.
- No expiry. The card and the help page both say it does not expire.
If you already pay ChatGPT through the App Store, the card does not help until you move to web billing. OpenAI says you "must first cancel your subscription on the same platform where you originally started it."
Where can I buy a ChatGPT gift card?
OpenAI sells it through "participating authorized retailers" in the US and names Best Buy as one. It does not publish a complete list. The issuer terms add that a card "will not be valid if obtained by you from unauthorized sellers or resellers".
That clause shapes how we sell it. The ChatGPT gift card is OpenAI's own US card: it is redeemed at chatgpt.com/redeem by a user in the United States and pays ChatGPT on the web, not App Store or Google Play subscriptions. OpenAI voids cards obtained from unauthorized sellers, so we take it on request only and confirm its source before any payment. Ask any seller where its cards come from before you pay.

Read on each seller's public US product page on 29 October 2026; USDT counted 1:1 to the dollar, network fees excluded. "Official" means the product page sells the OpenAI card; we did not check any seller's supply.
Are "ChatGPT Plus gift cards" and 1-month codes the same thing?
No. OpenAI's card is a US dollar balance from US$15 to US$250, redeemed at chatgpt.com/redeem. It is not a fixed month of Plus.
- Vouchers. Some shops sell a "Rewarble ChatGPT" voucher. It is redeemed at rewarble.com, not at chatgpt.com/redeem, so it is not OpenAI's card.
- Shared seats and pre-made accounts. OpenAI's terms say "You may not share your account credentials or make your account available to anyone else". A seat on someone else's account breaks that rule.
- "Activation on your account". These offers need your login, which is credential sharing.
We never sell, share or rent ChatGPT, Claude or other AI accounts, and we never ask for your login or password. More: is a cheap ChatGPT Plus account safe?
I am not in the US: which card pays ChatGPT Plus?
An App Store card of your own country, used in the ChatGPT iPhone app. As of 29 October 2026, ChatGPT Plus costs ₹ 1,999 in India's App Store, covered by our ₹2,000 card. In the UK it costs £19.99 (card £25), in Brazil R$ 99,90 (card R$100).
Apple's rules state that an Apple Account balance pays subscriptions to App Store apps, with some exceptions. "Apple App Store subscriptions are managed by Apple", as OpenAI's help puts it. On Android, a Google Play card of your country adds Play balance; we did not check Google Play prices. Step by step: pay ChatGPT Plus with an App Store card. Every country: card prices.
Questions about the ChatGPT gift card
Can I use a ChatGPT gift card in the iPhone app?
No. OpenAI says gift card balances "can't pay for subscriptions billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store." In the iPhone app, an App Store card pays instead.
Can I buy a ChatGPT gift card outside the US?
Buying one does not help: OpenAI limits redemption to US-based accounts billed in US dollars. Outside the US, use an App Store or Google Play card of your country.
Does the ChatGPT gift card expire?
No. OpenAI's help says "Your gift card does not expire." The balance cannot be cashed out or moved to another account.
Can I give a ChatGPT gift card to someone?
Yes. The issuer terms allow giving the card as a gift but forbid selling it. The person who redeems it needs a US-based ChatGPT account.
Why is your ChatGPT card only on request?
OpenAI's card terms void cards bought from unauthorized sellers. So we take it on request only and confirm its source before you pay anything.
