ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro payment rejections are usually due to unsupported billing countries, not card issues
Original: ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro reject your card? It is probably the billing country, not the card
Short summary
ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro reject valid cards based on the card's issuing country, not fraud risk. The fix: use a card issued in a supported region, set your billing country to match the card, and check your card's BIN against the supported-country list. Options include Wise, US-issued cards (Mercury, Privacy.com), or crypto-funded cards.
- •Payment rejections stem from unsupported billing countries, not card fraud
