#My OpenAI account does not have the $18 credit

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.
Have you (or someone else) already singed up with the same phone number?
^^
I believe if anyone has already signed up from same phone number then it should show that we have consumed the free credits instead of showing 0 dollars.
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?
No way to reset the trial period, if the trial was used up before it doesn't get reinstated
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
Argh!
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?
did you create the account with your own mobile phone?
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
it’s weird that your grants suddenly disappeared, I think you can ask the support on the website for help
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
Same for me, did you sumbit through the chat on the page as well?
