#Sora 2 invalid codes

It sounds like you’re running into issues redeeming Sora 2 invite codes. Based on the knowledge sources, there are a few key points to consider:
-
Regional Availability: Access to the Sora app and Sora 2 is currently limited to the US and Canada. If you are outside these regions, you will not be able to redeem codes, regardless of how quickly you try. This is a likely cause if you’re seeing every code as invalid—regional restrictions are in place and the United Kingdom, EU, and Australia are not included at launch. Availability will expand over time, but for now, only US and Canada are supported for the Sora app and Sora 2 Getting started with the Sora app Sora App and Sora 2- Supported Countries.
-
Code Validity: Each invite code is unique and can only be used once. If a code has already been redeemed, it will show as invalid for anyone else. OpenAI does not reissue codes if one doesn’t work; you’ll need to request a new one from the partner or source that provided it ChatGPT Plus promotions and referrals.
-
Other Eligibility Criteria: Some promotions or codes are only for new users or have other eligibility requirements. If you’ve previously had access or used a similar promo, you may not be eligible to redeem another code.
What you can do:
- Double-check that you are physically located in the US or Canada and that your device/browser is not routing traffic through another region.
- Make sure you’re using a code that hasn’t already been redeemed.
- If you believe you meet all requirements and are still having issues, you can contact OpenAI support for further assistance.
If you’re outside the supported regions, unfortunately, you’ll need to wait until access expands. If you’re in the US or Canada and still having trouble, it’s likely due to code usage or eligibility limits.
