Thank you but I fear I was misunderstood. I already unsubscribed from google pay and tried to resubscribe in the chatgpt web Chatgpt web doesn’t have an option to be billed in usd It seems like openai is forcing me to use local currency which the conversion rates are absurd (who heard of 25% currency conversion rates? This is wild). The multi currency option is documented but inaccessible - there is nowhere on the webapp (mobile web or desktop web) any option. I tried all of them, multiple times, and retried now. It’s probably a bug if an option to be billed in usd exists on chatgpt web and isn’t available. Otherwise, I would stress this as a feature request - I shouldn’t be paying 250$ for 200$ subscription because a middle men decided he needs 25% conversion rate. Mastercard charges me a fraction of %, it’s not clear why am I not able to use my Mastercard directly.
