With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, ChatGPT Plus has become a subscription service sought after by many domestic users, especially with the powerful features of its upgraded version GPT-4.5, which makes people eager to try it out. However, for domestic users, directly subscribing to overseas services often faces issues such as limited payment channels and complex network environments. The good news is that with tools like WildCard, domestic users can easily subscribe to ChatGPT Plus and recharge the OpenAI API. Today, we will discuss in detail how to activate ChatGPT Plus through WildCard, allowing you to quickly get started with the powerful features of GPT-4.5.

Why Choose ChatGPT Plus and GPT-4.5?#
Before diving into the tutorial, let's briefly discuss why ChatGPT Plus is worth trying. Compared to the free version, the Plus version not only offers faster response times and higher usage limits but also allows users to experience OpenAI's latest models, such as GPT-4.5, first. Whether for learning, work, or creation, this upgraded version provides a smoother and more intelligent experience. For developers, recharging the OpenAI API can unlock more customized application scenarios, making it a powerful tool for improving efficiency.
But the question arises: how can domestic users overcome the "barriers" of payment and network? Traditional overseas credit card payment methods are not realistic for many people, and virtual cards like Dupay, VCard, and PokePay do support subscriptions but require recharging through cryptocurrencies like USDT, which is cumbersome and not very friendly for beginners. In contrast, the emergence of WildCard is tailor-made for domestic users, supporting Alipay and WeChat Pay, making recharging simple, safe, and stable, making it the top choice.

WildCard is a virtual card platform specifically designed for subscribing to overseas software services, particularly suitable for users who need to activate ChatGPT Plus or recharge the OpenAI API. Its biggest advantages are:
- Convenient Payments: Supports Alipay and WeChat recharges without complicated cryptocurrency operations.
- No KYC Verification Required: The registration and usage process is simple, without mandatory cumbersome identity verification.
- Stable and Reliable: Compared to other virtual cards, WildCard has a higher payment success rate and better service support.
- Discount Benefits: Register through the official website https://leixue.com/go/yeka and use the invitation code "LEIXUE" to enjoy card opening discounts.
Next, let's take a step-by-step look at how to activate ChatGPT Plus using WildCard.
Detailed Steps to Activate ChatGPT Plus#
Step 1: Register a WildCard Account#
First, visit the WildCard Official Website. There is a "Login/Register" button in the upper right corner of the page; click it to bring up the login window. If you do not have an account, click the "Register" link at the bottom of the window.
The registration process is very simple:
- Enter your phone number (mainland users default to +86, Hong Kong users select +852).
- Click to get the verification code and enter the received code.
- Click "Submit Registration" to complete account creation.
Tip: Enter the invitation code "LEIXUE" during registration to enjoy a discount on the card opening fee; saving a little money is always a good thing!
Step 2: Activate the WildCard Virtual Card#
After registration, log in to the WildCard Official Website and enter the backend page. Find "My Cards" in the left menu bar and click to enter the card activation page.
The card activation options are:
- 1-Year Card: $11.99 (using the invitation code "LEIXUE" can waive part of the fee).
- 2-Year Card: $16.99 (also enjoy discounts).
After selecting the package that suits you, click "Pay" and complete the payment via Alipay or WeChat scan code. Once the payment is successful, follow the prompts on the page to fill in your name and other information, and the card will be activated. You will receive a virtual card number, expiration date, and CVV code; keep this information safe as you will need it for subscriptions later.
Step 3: Recharge WildCard Balance#
After activating the card, you need to recharge the balance in the card to pay for the ChatGPT Plus subscription fee. WildCard has a very low recharge threshold, starting from just $5. It is recommended to recharge $25 for the first time, as OpenAI may pre-authorize $5 when binding the card, avoiding insufficient balance leading to subscription failure.
Recharge steps:
- Click the "Recharge" option in the backend of the official website.
- Enter the recharge amount and choose Alipay or WeChat payment.
- Scan the code to pay, and the funds will be credited in real-time.
Note that there is a 3.5% service fee for recharging, but there are no additional charges for consumption and withdrawal, making the overall cost quite reasonable.
Step 4: Subscribe to ChatGPT Plus#
Now that the preparations are complete, you can start the subscription. Open the ChatGPT official website (https://chat.openai.com) and log in to your account. If you do not have an account, register one first; you will need a foreign phone number to receive the verification code (this can be solved using a code receiving platform).
- After logging in, click "Upgrade to Plus" in the left menu or the subscription option in your personal account settings.
- Select the ChatGPT Plus package ($20 per month).
- On the payment page, select "Add Payment Method" and enter your WildCard virtual card information, including the card number, expiration date, and CVV code.
- Fill in the billing address (you can enter any US address, such as the zip code 10001 in New York).
- Submit the payment and wait a few seconds; the system will prompt that the subscription was successful.
Network Suggestion: Since the ChatGPT official website may be restricted, it is recommended to use a stable scientific internet tool to ensure a smooth payment process. If payment is rejected, try switching network nodes or contact WildCard customer service (they respond quickly).
Tips for Recharging OpenAI API#
If you also want to recharge the OpenAI API using WildCard, the operation is also very simple. Log in to the OpenAI official website (https://platform.openai.com), go to the API management page, and bind the WildCard virtual card to recharge directly. The minimum recharge amount is $5, suitable for small-scale testing, and developers can add funds as needed.
WildCard Compared to Other Virtual Cards#
There are also options like Dupay, VCard, and PokePay on the market, but most of them require recharging through USDT, which is not user-friendly for ordinary users. WildCard's Alipay/WeChat payment method eliminates the hassle of exchanging cryptocurrencies, and its no KYC feature makes it even more attractive. In terms of stability, WildCard generally receives better user feedback, with fewer payment failures.
Conclusion: Enjoy GPT-4.5 with Ease#
Through WildCard, domestic users can easily overcome payment barriers and quickly activate ChatGPT Plus to experience the powerful features of GPT-4.5. From registration to recharging to subscription, the entire process is straightforward, even for those who are not tech-savvy.
