I am trying to find countries or regions where ChatGPT Business/Team plan for 1 USD/EUR is still available. UK has shifted to free offer to ChatGPT Plus account no more team account. Same, I saw from Netherlands, I made an account but I saw same offer as UK now.
Is there any region or country where free trial for team plan is still available?
Sooooo?: OpenAI left the door open. Some of you walked in politely. Others brought the whole neighborhood. Now they’re checking IDs at certain entrances.
But let’s be real — this thing’s been passed around more than a Netflix password at a college dorm. OpenAI’s been quietly rolling out regional restrictions since the summer of '25. Our friend here noticed UK and Netherlands got the boot. They’re now redirected to a “free Plus trial” instead. Translation: “We see you. Here’s a participation trophy instead.”
🌍 The Region Roulette — Who's Still In?
Based on scattered field reports (Sept–Dec 2025):
Region
Vibe
Reality Check
USA
Still hitting
US VPN + PayPal = chef’s kiss
Australia
Reports of life
Card checkout working
EU (Germany, France, etc.)
Coinflip
Some countries still see the offer, others don’t
UK
RIP
Redirects to Plus trial. The party’s over.
Netherlands
Same energy
They got grouped with UK. Sad.
Canada
Messy
Cards getting declined like a fake ID at a club
If you’re seeing “Not eligible”:
→ Try US VPN first
→ Still nothing? Your account might be on their naughty list already
🚪 The Back Doors — When The Front Door's Locked
Rappi Pro Black → 6 MONTHS of Plus. FREE.
This is the move right now. Latin America’s delivery app basically said “here, have $120 worth of AI for subscribing to our food delivery thing.”
Where: Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador
Cost: ~$6-10/month for Rappi Pro Black
You get: 6 months ChatGPT Plus (normally $120)
Deadline: Jan 15, 2026 OR when 300k codes run out
The catch: NEW Plus users only. Cancel Rappi = bye bye ChatGPT too
VPN? Reports say yes
GrabUnlimited → 1 Month Plus
Southeast Asia’s version of the deal.
Where: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines
Cost: ~$6/month
Bonus: Viu Premium + ride discounts included
Duration: 1 month (not as juicy as Rappi, but still free)
Student Discount (US/Canada)
Officially ended May 2025
BUT OpenAI hinted they might bring it back
Worth stalking their announcements
WhatsApp ChatGPT
Free until January 2026
Limited functionality but hey, it’s something
Good for quick questions when you’re too lazy to open a browser
🧠 What Actually Happened Here
Let’s read between the lines:
UK/Netherlands got patched = Too many people from these regions were farming this. OpenAI noticed. Door closed.
USA/Australia still open = Bigger user base. Harder to blanket-ban without causing PR headaches. The math doesn’t math for them yet.
Rappi partnership = This isn’t a leak — it’s intentional. But the end result is the same for your wallet. OpenAI wants LATAM market share. You want free GPT. Everybody wins.
The pattern is always the same: abuse window opens → people share it → it gets hammered → restrictions roll out region by region. We’re in the “restrictions rolling out” phase. Adapt or miss the boat.
⚡ The Speedrun (If Team $1 Still Works For You)
Fresh Gmail (don’t use your main)
US residential VPN (datacenter IPs are flagged to hell)
PayPal linked to a non-suspicious billing country
Hit the promo URL
Cancel the subscription IMMEDIATELY after activation
You keep the month. They don’t get your $150 next month. Everybody’s happy except OpenAI’s accountant.
⚠️ Don't Be That Guy — Critical Notes
5 members MAX on Team → More than that = ban hammer
CANCEL IMMEDIATELY → Or enjoy your surprise $150 charge
Fresh accounts win → Previously subscribed? Many promos will reject you
PayPal > Card → Especially for non-US folks. Cards get declined way more often
Bottom line: If Team $1 is dead in your region, pivot to Rappi. One month of their subscription (~$8) vs $150 Team renewal? That’s not even a question.
