A service that fails one of them deserves a second look; one that fails two is best avoided. ## 1. No password, no verification code A legitimate top-up never needs your password or a code sent to your email or phone. Anyone who asks can sign in as you, change your email and lock you out. If they ask for either, walk away. Pay2GPT never asks. ## 2. Added to your own account The plan should be activated on the ChatGPT account you already use, not on a shared account or a ready-made account of unknown origin. Your chats, history and settings stay yours, and nobody else can sign in alongside you. ## 3. A believable price A top-up costs a little more than OpenAI's own price, because the service pays OpenAI and covers its costs. A price far below everyone else's usually means stolen-card payments, the most common cause of mass bans when the charges are disputed. ## 4. An order you can track You should get an order number, a page showing progress, and an email for each step. If the only record is a chat with a stranger, you have nothing to show if something goes wrong. ## 5. Refund rules written down before you pay Look for written rules on what happens when activation fails and how long the plan is covered. Pay2GPT refunds the full amount if activation fails and covers a plan that drops for 30 days. ## 6. Real support and a public status You should be able to reach support and see whether the service is running before you buy. Pay2GPT answers by email at support@pay2gpt.com and publishes a service status page. ## How to use the checklist Run the six checks from the top. The first two protect your account, the next two protect your money, and the last two decide how quickly a problem gets fixed. If a service fails the first check, stop there; nothing else on the list makes up for handing over your password. ## Warning signs to walk away - They ask for your password, a verification code, or for you to turn off two-step verification. - They sell you a ready-made account instead of upgrading yours. - The only way to order or get help is a private chat, with no order page. - You're asked to pay into a personal account and get no order number. - The price is far below everyone else's with no explanation. ## Four things we promise - **No password** — We never ask for your password or verification code. You paste the Session only on your own order page. - **Session not stored in the database** — The Session is used only to activate this order and is not stored in the database. Logging out of all devices in ChatGPT revokes it. - **Full refund if it can't be activated** — If we can't activate your plan, the full amount goes back to the way you paid. - **Lost within 30 days? Restored free** — If the plan stops working within 30 days of activation for reasons not on your side, we restore it free or refund the remaining days. Problems caused by your own account, such as sharing or reselling it, are not covered; the Terms of Service decide.
