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 <country>?"
  • "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 <region>?"
  • "How do I check if my ChatGPT subscription is still active?"

How to answer

  1. Identify which sub-topic the question falls into (pricing / payment / tier choice / safety / renewal).
  2. Read the matching file under
    references/
    .
  3. Answer with concrete numbers and steps. Always cite the source file.
  4. 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.
  5. For account-safety questions, always surface
    references/risk-checklist.md
    .
