Frequently asked questions
I already pay for Plus on the web. Do I need to cancel first?
No. OpenAI says existing web Plus users should not cancel; the free year is applied directly after selecting Claim offer.
Can I move the offer to another account?
No. An ID.me identity links to one ChatGPT account and a claimed offer can't be transferred. Contact OpenAI Support if you verified on the wrong account.
