ChatGPT Direct Top-Up: What We Ask For and What Happens Next
One order, one month, on the account you already use — and no credentials handed to anyone.
Quick answer
What is the direct answer?
A direct top-up means we activate a paid ChatGPT plan on your own account instead of selling you a separate account or a gift code. You pay by card, give us the account email, and an operator applies the plan. Delivery usually takes 5–30 minutes; larger Pro orders can take up to 90 minutes. You never send a password, one-time code or recovery code.
Key points before you buy
- Your account, your chat history — nothing is migrated or replaced.
- The only required detail is the ChatGPT account email plus any notes you want us to have.
- Orders are processed by a human operator and tracked on your order page.
- If we cannot complete the top-up, the order is refunded under our terms.

What is a direct top-up?
It is a purchase where the provider applies a paid plan to an account you already control.
The alternative — buying a 'ready account' — means inheriting an identity you did not create, with recovery details you do not own. A direct top-up avoids that entirely: your login, your history and your settings stay under your control.
What we need from you
The account email to upgrade, and the plan you want — nothing else.
- Required: the ChatGPT account email, entered at checkout and stored encrypted.
- Optional: notes such as a preferred delivery window or the workspace you use.
- Never required: password, one-time codes, recovery codes or card details beyond the Stripe checkout.

If something goes wrong
Check the order page first, then contact support with your order number.
- Plan not visible after 60 minutes? Refresh ChatGPT, then check you are signed into the same email.
- Wrong email entered? Contact support immediately with the order number — before the top-up is applied.
- Top-up impossible on your account? We cancel and refund the order in full.

FAQ
Do I need to give you my password?
No. We only ask for the account email. Anyone requesting a password or one-time code is not following this process.
Is this an official OpenAI service?
No. We are an independent third-party provider and are not affiliated with OpenAI.
What if I already subscribe?
Tell us in the notes at checkout. We will confirm whether the top-up can stack or whether you should wait until the current period ends.
Can I get an invoice?
Your Stripe receipt is available from the checkout email; the order page is your record of the top-up itself.
