  "textContent": "Hi everyone,\n\nI am trying to add my Visa card to my OpenAI billing account, but it keeps getting **declined**.\n\nWhat puzzles me is that this exact same Visa card works perfectly fine on **Google AI (Google Cloud / Vertex AI)** and other global platforms without any issues. It is an active, international-enabled card with sufficient funds.\n\nHere are the details of the issue:\n\n  * **Card Type:** Visa (International)\n\n  * **The Problem:** Keeps failing/declining when trying to register or pay on OpenAI.\n\n  * **Comparison:** Works completely fine on Google AI services.\n\n\n\n\n**What I’ve already tried:**\n\n  1. Checking with my bank (No blocks or restrictions on international payments from their side).\n\n  2. Double-checking the billing address, zip code, and CVV (Everything matches perfectly).\n\n  3. Trying a different browser and clearing the cache/cookies.\n\n\n\n\nHas anyone else experienced this specific issue where OpenAI rejects a card that other major AI cloud providers (like Google) accept? Is OpenAI using a stricter fraud prevention filter (like Stripe’s radar) that flags certain international Visa cards?\n\nAny advice, workarounds, or insights from the community or staff would be highly appreciated.\n\nThank you!",
