AI-generated summary
Due to OpenAI's lack of support for credit cards from China and certain regions, many people are unable to access their services. To overcome this, obtaining a "foreign virtual credit card" that can be used globally is very useful. OneKey Card and Dupay are two options for such cards. The prerequisites for obtaining these cards include being in a location consistent with the card's region and using virtual currency (USTD) for registration and top-up. The process for registering OneKey Card involves activating the card, completing KYC verification, and binding Google Authenticator. Once the card is activated, it can be used to open OpenAI API or ChatGPT PLUS. To add the card as a payment method on OpenAI's platform, the provided foreign address from OneKey Card can be used. Overall, this tutorial provides guidance on how to access OpenAI's services using a foreign virtual credit card.

Preface#

Due to OpenAI's lack of support for credit cards in China and certain regions, many people are unable to access these services. Some people rely on foreign friends to help with payment, but not everyone can find someone to assist. In this case, it is extremely useful to apply for a "foreign virtual credit card" that can truly be used globally.
Of course, there are many foreign virtual credit card providers to choose from, and here I have chosen OneKey Card and Dupay. I won't make a recommendation here, you can compare multiple providers and choose the one that suits you best.

Prerequisites#

  • Internet access: It is best to be in the same location as the virtual credit card, I am using a US node (VPS provider is digitalvirt's Los Angeles four-network return CMIN2 click here to go directly)
  • Virtual currency: Generally, virtual credit card registration and top-up require the use of virtual currency (USTD). I am using the Ouyi platform (click here to go directly), where you can make purchases directly.

OneKey Card Registration#

Introduction to OneKey Card#

OneKey is a well-known domestic cold wallet manufacturer, and OneKey Card is their overseas virtual credit card service. It is currently in public beta, with a lot of promotional activities, and the cost of opening a card is approximately $1.

Register for OneKey Card#

  1. Click on the official website link: card.onekey.so, or scan the QR code below to enter the registration page, click [sign in with Google], and register directly using your Google account.
  2. After registering an account, click [Activate] to activate it. Select the card type as VISA or Mastercard. I chose VISA. Currently, during the public beta period, the card can only be activated with an invitation code. Here, fill in the invitation code provided by the official: 2JDWIN [Tested, still valid]
  3. Complete real-name KYC authentication. Follow the steps on the webpage to complete the real-name authentication. After adding basic information, click [Next]. At this point, you need to complete face verification. Click [Please complete face verification] and use WeChat to scan the QR code for automatic verification. After completing the real-name authentication, you will receive an email confirming the completion of the authentication. It is worth mentioning that centralized bank card products require KYC authentication, which is a compliance requirement and should not cause excessive concern. Domestic identities are almost instantly verified, while non-domestic identities require manual review, which is usually completed within one working day after submission.
  4. After completing the real-name authentication, you need to bind the Google Authenticator to start using it. Click the three dots in the upper right corner, select "security", and bind the Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication. Install the Google Authenticator App and scan the QR code, copy and backup the recovery key (this key allows you to recover your Google Authenticator if your phone is lost), enter the Google Authenticator code and email verification code to complete the binding.
  5. Click "top up" below the card. During the public beta period, you need to top up at least 20 USDC to activate the card.

Opening OpenAI API#

Here, I will use the example of opening the OpenAI API, which is similar to the steps for opening ChatGPT PLUS.
If you have chosen VISA like me, please use a US node to increase the probability of successful binding (there are cases of failure online, but I succeeded on the first try).

Obtaining the Address of OneKey Card#

OneKey Card provides us with a US address, which saves us the trouble of searching online ourselves.
Click on the details page of the card, click on the security code, and after passing the security verification, we can obtain the address.

Adding a Payment Method#

Log in to the official website of OpenAI: platform.openai.com, find the Billing option, click on Payment methods. Since I have already added one, there will be a payment method displayed. Click on Add Payment methods, copy and paste the address obtained earlier, and click add.

Then, you can happily use the ChatGPT API.
