If ChatGPT Go is free then why is the company asking for bank account details, what should be done to avoid money being deducted?

If you use ChatGPT, there's great news for you. OpenAI has launched the ChatGPT Go Free Offer in India, allowing users to use this AI chatbot and its many premium features for 12 months, completely free.

Those who previously paid for the ChatGPT Go plan are also receiving a free upgrade under this offer. OpenAI has sent users an email confirming this.

Why is OpenAI asking for payment details if the offer is free?
Many users are asking why payment or UPI details are required when the offer is free. This is a common practice that many companies follow during their free trial or free subscription offers.

The purpose of this is to ensure that once the free period ends, users can seamlessly upgrade to a paid plan if they wish. However, the good news is that users can cancel the offer at any time.

How to Activate the ChatGPT Go Free Plan
Go to the ChatGPT website or mobile app.
Add your mobile number and payment details (card or UPI).
Accept the terms and conditions of the offer.
And that's it! Now you can use ChatGPT Go for free for 12 months.

What to do before the free period ends?
Cancel AutoPay
When you enter payment details for the ChatGPT Go Free Offer, OpenAI activates auto-payment (AutoPay), which begins after the free period ends.

Tip: Cancel AutoPay near the end of the offer, but not the subscription. This will allow you to enjoy the free service for the full 12 months without any charges being deducted from your account.

Many users worry that canceling AutoPay will end the offer, but this is not the case. Once your account is included in the free offer, it remains valid for a full 12 months.
