In India, ChatGPT Go is now free. What happens if you have previously paid for the plan?
As of this writing, OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go subscription is free in India. Both new and current chatbot users are eligible for OpenAI’s new offer.
But a recurring query among ChatGPT users has been whether or not they can still receive the free subscription if they already have a ChatGPT Go subscription. OpenAI has now provided formal clarity on these kinds of problems.
What happens if you have a membership to ChatGPT Go already?
According to OpenAI, users who already have a ChatGPT Go subscription that they purchased online or for Android through the Google Play Store are not required to cancel it in order to take advantage of the promotional deal.
Later this week, users may be able to automatically redeem the ChatGPT Go promotion, according to the AI startup.
In the meantime, users of ChatGPT Go who purchased it through the Apple App Store must check this website to explore the redemption alternatives.
Within the next week, we’ll automatically push back your next billing date by 12 months. You don’t need to do anything. Keep in mind that automatic redemption is only possible if your subscription is in good standing. In a blog post, OpenAI states, “We’ll replace any existing discounts on your account with the promotion.”
However, how precisely does OpenAI determine whether an account is in “good standing”? According to the corporation, it evaluates the account to determine whether any payments have been denied or missing.
According to OpenAI, “if your account is not in good standing, you will not be able to redeem the promotion until your billing period ends and you resubscribe after adding a valid payment method.”
What is a subscription to ChatGPT Go?
The company’s most affordable membership package, ChatGPT Go, was introduced earlier this year for ₹399 for a full year. Compared to the free subscription, the pack gives users ten times more access to the company’s GPT-5 model and ten times more image generation.
