Unable to Start Free ChatGPT Plus Trial with Go– “Payment was not approved” for More Than a Week with multiple cards

Sounds like we’re in the same boat. I’ve tried everything — and I mean everything — and nothing has worked. I even used my brother’s dollar card, my sister’s virtual card, and a bank card from Canada, and every payment was declined. I’m about to try my newly acquired dollar card, though I doubt it’ll work either. I’ve contacted their support team, but they keep insisting the issue is on my bank’s end. At this point, I’ve given up, and I’m switching to Claude for good. Their cold, copy-and-paste responses are just frustrating. My case number is:10697624.
