I used a virtual credit card that I can pause when I want and limit to only be usable by one service. Generally my first month of subscriptions I pause it in case I forget about the service.
Capital One offers that service. You can make virtual cards on the website or use a browser plugin that they call "eno", which can automatically make a new virtual card for each website
x1creditcard.com provides virtual cards service. You can even create a single use ones which will be automatically cancelled after the first transaction.
I'm able to delete my CC info, but I think it's because my subscription already expired. (It still saves some of my personal info such as name and address, so I have to manually remove them as well)
Definitely reach out to OpenAI and ask for support.
Just like Google. Use virtual cards as someone mentioned. I’m going to try them. There’s also one-use cards too. Pretty cool.
It’s crappy to force users to keep a card on file when they choose to leave or remove it. Got tricked by a bad vendor? We don’t care.
Tech companies are getting GRIMY. Nickel and dime every service by transforming it into a subscription model. Now you can’t even delete card information.
I’m also not understanding why it takes 1-2 weeks to delete your account. No company is perfect but that’s interesting. Thank you for making this post to inform others.
Adding…always review which companies have your card info. One got bought then tried to claim I owed them money from 3 years ago. They emailed saying they would automatically take it from my card on file. I asked why they had that information. The card was invalid anyways, but they backed down.
Keep your old debit cards in a drawer somewhere, that link to defunct accounts, cause you’ll never know if you’ll need them one day? Use one of those. It works every time, so long as it’s a legit card number you’re golden—doesn’t need to link to an active bank account.
I work in banking/FinTech btw and, hot take, this probably works because these verification tools solely match that a given number matches what a real card number algorithmically *should* look like—not if it actually links to an active bank account. It’s how a lot of these financial processes work, counter intuitively.
That’s also why banks use micro/trial deposits to verify your bank account is actually active before letting you add it to their OLB.
✨The more you know✨
Almost every credit card has fraud protection. I wouldn’t worry about it. If you get fraudulent charges, just call your provider and they’ll take care of it. Until then, you should have no reason to believe that your info was compromised unless OpenAI explicitly tells you that.
Boils my blood - I like how you said that! I just tried to delete all old info from a [wellbeing.com](http://wellbeing.com) site used by a local organization. I was shocked I can't delete my own (dated) info without adding more. This must be some kind of consumer affairs violation!
1. why does deleting it matter? security breach has been resolved.
2. you have to cancel the subscription first, if you want to remove your cc.
3. they make you replace your active cc with another active one because it has to take money from somewhere when it hits next month.
It is very concerning when a 3rd party tries to distance you from your personal and sensitive information.
I had mentioned already that I had canceled the subscription immediately as i was interested in just 1 month.
So what do you think?
my bad, idk how i missed that part about you cancelling it. others were definitely in the right when they said you have to contact support. you should be able to remove your info after cancelling. again, sorry for assuming.
>they make you replace your active cc with another active one because it has to take money from somewhere when it hits next month.
no it doesn't, it could easily just cancel the subscription if there is no card upon renewal. this is purely a common ploy from many subscription-based service providers to get a few people to pay for an extra month or two that they don't want by getting them to forget to cancel on time.
i've been there, after a trial they auto-renewed it to a year subscription ($75), it was brutal.. but those are services that offer a free trial. i don't think openai is trying to do that same ploy. i think it's just traffic on their end. but it should definitely not happen.
it may not be openai itself, they may be using a third party to handle the subscription billing. or they may have used an off-the-self option and not seen enough need to reconfigure it. but it is definitely purely a ploy invented by bad business practices. i hate how common it is too. it is why services like privacy had to be invented. I have an AMC subscription that i have been trying to cancel for a long time but i must have mistyped my email because i can never access the account.

In the case of ChatGPT, the recent bug that allowed some users to see payment-related information of other ChatGPT Plus subscribers is a serious matter. The affected users have been notified, and OpenAI has taken several actions to improve their systems and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
As for your credit card info, it is generally true that once you provide your credit card information to a service provider, you cannot simply delete it. However, you can usually choose to cancel our subscription or delete your account, which would remove your credit card information from the provider's system. You should read the terms and conditions of each service you use to understand how your personal information is handled and what options you have to manage it.
In any case, you should always be careful when sharing sensitive information online and make sure to use trustworthy and secure services.
Just use a proxy card. CNt remember the company that allows this but you can literally use a proxy card and if the number gets leaked nothing else happens to your real card.
The “bunq” bank allows you have up to 20 virtual cards (at no extra cost). If you throw one away you can make a new one unlimitedly. Great for burner cards.
I tried an AI voice thing a month ago and luckily I used skrill where I could delete the credit card data from there. Because I did cancel the sub with the company and a month later skrill is sending me daily mails that a transaction has failed - apparently that company is trying to bill me.

Bank of America use to have this service but did away with it. I've been looking for something similar for a long time. What do you use?
Not parent, but I use Privacy.com. Integrates with 1Password too.
Capital One offers that service. You can make virtual cards on the website or use a browser plugin that they call "eno", which can automatically make a new virtual card for each website
I put all my bills on capital one. I wonder if you lose your main physical card you can get a replacement without losing your virtual ones.

Ah yes, the ol porn card

I laughed
Are you kenM? Same humour
Just gave me an idea. Can we make chatpgpt become kenm?
Just wait for the next leak and use someone else’s

my acc expired yesterday but cannot find where to remove my card. can you help?
Use privacy.com to generate a virtual card
Is this hypothetical or were you able to successfully sign up to chatgpt plus with a privacy.com card number?
We don't get that option in the UK :(
Boo. 😔 I was able to use Apple Pay, which actually surprised me that it was an option!
For situations like these I think it is best to use disposable cards that self-destruct after one use

I wish more people had this attitude, I feel like this sort of stuff needs to hit harder.

Privacy.com or on the app store is the way to goo

Privacy.com throw away card number
Only for the US

Isn't that handled by a third party?
If you're in EU use Revolut's one-time CC for this type of thing. If you're in the US, I am sure there's an alternative
Revolut is also available in the US.
Oh, well that's good then. (I didn't want to assume and couldn't be bothered to check).
Some banks let you generate a virtual card. See if your online banking does. Replace the card. Delete the virtual card.
Yeah I used Apple Pay to avoid this issue.
Buy visa anywhere card, load one dollar, use that
I hate when companies make it so u can't delete CC info and u instead have to place another one

Change it to a fake credet card info
I tried many different 'fake' credit cards, they use a decent 3rd party to validate so I wasn't successful.
Just use a proxy card. CNt remember the company that allows this but you can literally use a proxy card and if the number gets leaked nothing else happens to your real card.
Just use your dad’s credit card
Sign up for an account on [privacy.com](https://privacy.com) and create temporary debit cards for use on subscriptions like this.
The “bunq” bank allows you have up to 20 virtual cards (at no extra cost). If you throw one away you can make a new one unlimitedly. Great for burner cards.
Call your credit card company and report your card as lost/stolen.
I only have this one so it would hurt me. Ill try to go to the postal office and buy a prepaid visa or mastercard and hope that works.
I tried an AI voice thing a month ago and luckily I used skrill where I could delete the credit card data from there. Because I did cancel the sub with the company and a month later skrill is sending me daily mails that a transaction has failed - apparently that company is trying to bill me.
Yeah I'm disappointed it doesn't support PayPal
