Is this normal?

Hi, contact support@openai.com if this issue isn't due to:

  • You already signed up in the past
  • The credit expired

I just signed up in Feb and it shows $0/$0 granted. It's been 3 days, I haven't heard from anyone after I sent them a message.

Yes, the phone number has to be unique to receive the $18 in free credits

#

The number can't have been used by anyone else in the past, or by you in the past

Yea, I have used the phone number in a different account. But I signed up to that account last year and did not use the credits. Any way to reset the trial period?

It's not used.. I had $18/$18 and now they got expired. Imagine getting these credits when ChatGPT was not a thing...

Yeah, they only last 3 months

#

ChatGPT has nothing to do with the credits tho

#

those credits are only used for the API

Hello, I might slide in here and take advantage of this post as I have a similar issue. I recently created an openai account, neither used the email or mobile number before. Upon starting to play around with the API I did see the $18 free balance in my account, but after I already got ChatGPT Plus, I also added my payment information for the API. After I added the payment information however, the free credits vanished and dont show up anymore, is this expected behavior?

Yes, its my own number. I did not have a openai account before though, so i doubt it could be the case that the free contingent expired since i didnt have an account before, neither did i use my phone number in any openai context before

The support does not respond. I am still waiting for their response.

If you not have credit to get API key, you can try to crawl web chat.openai like our #1077206515024408617
