How to Avoid Paying For ChatGPT Go After 12 Months Free Plan Ends

Almost every AI company is giving away a free subscription to thier AI models. We witnessed this first with Perplexity, then Gemini, and now ChatGPT is giving away one year’s worth of ChatGPT for free to everyone in India. You should redeem this offer and use it to your benefit. There is a high probability that once you are subscribed to this offer, you will forget about the auto-mandate on your UPI account, and it will cost you money, INR 399 to be specific. I will tell you how to avoid this, so keep on reading.

ChatGPT Go: A Must-Have Deal

ChatGPT Go is a very useful tool to have, from your daily queries to complicated academic ones; it can take care of it all. The option to upload images is a lifesaver; if you are unable to prompt properly, adding images can do the trick just right. Furthermore, the usual Go subscription is INR 399 per month, which means you are saving almost five thousand rupees. Though you need to make sure you use the right method to redeem this offer, or you can face issues such as unsuccessful redemption.

How to Properly Redeem this Offer?

You simply have to open your ChatGPT app and then follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Tap on the Try Go option at the top of your screen.

2. Then tap on Upgrade to Go. From there, you will be redirected to the payment page.

3. From the payment page, choose your preferred payment method and tap on Subscribe.

4. Once you have entered your payment details, an auto debit mandate will be set up and your subscription will be live.

5. Re-launch the ChatGPT app to access your ChatGPT Go subscription.

I paid using Paytm and faced no issues. However, my colleague did the same thing but used G-pay, and for some reason, his payment was successful, but ChatGPT declined the subscription. This was fixed on its own, so if you face the same issue, close the application and relaunch it after some time, and it will be fixed.

How to Avoid Paying the Renewal Fees

This is a simple process that will work for almost all the subscriptions that you will pay for using an auto-debit mandate. Here are the steps you need to follow.

1. Open the UPI app that you used for the payment of the ChatGPT Go subscription.

2. We have shown Gpay, so tap on the Profile icon on the top right of your screen.

3. From the settings menu, scroll down and click on Autopay.

4. Inside, you will see all your active debit mandates. Tap on the ChatGPT one.

5. Finally, tap on Cancel Autopay. Then confirm and tap on Yes, cancel autopay.

6. Once you do this, your Autopay will be cancelled and no money will be deducted from your account.
