OpenAI has announced an exciting promotion: ChatGPT Go is now available for free for a full year to eligible users in India. This recently introduced subscription tier offers enhanced features, including more image generation capabilities, increased file uploads, and greater access to GPT-5.
The promotion allows eligible users in India to access ChatGPT Go at no cost for 12 months, with redemption beginning November 4th. OpenAI confirmed that the offer can be accessed through the ChatGPT web interface and the Google Play Store, with the Apple App Store to follow next week.
Interestingly, to take advantage of this free year-long subscription, users are required to provide a payment method, such as a credit card or UPI. OpenAI clarifies that no charges will be incurred during the 12-month promotional period. However, after the free year concludes, the subscription will automatically renew at the standard monthly rate unless it is canceled in advance.
Why is a Payment Method Required for Free ChatGPT Go?
OpenAI explains that requiring a payment method is a standard procedure for enrolling in such promotions. This ensures a seamless transition should users wish to continue with the service after the free period ends. It’s important to note that each account can only redeem this promotion once. If a user cancels their subscription after redemption, they will not be eligible to redeem it again.
This exclusive 12-month free ChatGPT Go promotion is specifically for users in India. It is available to both new users, existing free users, and current ChatGPT Go subscribers who maintain accounts in good standing.
