Went to cancel my ChatGPT Plus subscription today and was offered a retention deal of 50% off for 3 months — only $30USD total instead of the usual $60USD ($20USD/month). Mod note: Current subscription price for ChatGPT Plus is US$20 per month.)

Looks like it's a targeted offer, triggered during the cancellation process. Might be worth checking if you're thinking about pausing or cancelling anyway.

Got this on my account which had been subscribed for a while (6+ months). Did not get on my second account which has only had Plus for one month.

Note: Immediate payment of the $30USD is required to accept the offer

Offer: $10USD /month for 3 months

You need to initiate cancellation to get the offer

Might not show for everyone

Steps:
1. Go to https://chat.openai.com
2. Click on your name in the bottom left hand corner > Settings > Account > Manage
3. Click "Cancel Subscription"
4. You may be offered a discounted rate — I got "50% off for 3 months"

Accept if it appears, otherwise no deal

Let us know in the comments if it worked for you!

      Check for the 12 month offer on the site. I cancelled Apple Turkey, and had the new user offer.

      Also try set the country to Gibraltar with post code GX11 1AA, it might avoid GST.

      I just got charged $2 usd VAT, my country was set to Austria..

    • PeeDee on 05/08/2025 - 17:23

      I didn't know that you can also subscribe over Google Play. That'll help a lot for buying Google Play gift cards and redeeming there instead.

        FYI It's common for Subscriptions on the Play store to cost more compared to the web counterpart because Google takes an extra cut.
        I can see ChatGPT Plus costs $34 AUD on the Play store and $20 USD (~$31 AUD) on the web. So even with gift cards you wouldn't really be saving much.

    It's usually $20 USD per month, isn't it?

    • Ozybargdias on 05/08/2025 - 17:05

      Yes - hence the $10 USD/month retention offer being 50% off rather than 67% off. OP has made a mistake in the title (perhaps confusing USD with AUD).

          There is so much more on off offer than the free 4o model.

          The o3 model, deep research and chatgpt agent are insane.

          I have paid access for Claude, Open AI and Google platforms, I also build a front end for my work that uses API access so we can use any model we want (grok 4 slaps now).

          Instead of spending 45 minutes optimising receipts after every business trip we trained and agent on our travel and expense policy, you just dump screenshots / photo receipts into the agent and it gives the CSV back to you to submit.

          Instead of reviewing hundreds of lines of invoicing submitted by a labour hire company each month we train an agent on the relevant Fair Work Australia award and it does a 45 minute job in 30 seconds. I went back and reviewed old invoices that had been approved, there were many instances of overpayment.

          Instead of taking minutes in a meeting we use otter.ai to record, summarise and assign action items. When I am completing a government tender down the line and need to provide evidence of "X" I can search the item in otter and it provides me instances of when this has been discussed in our company.

          Now with MCP (and agent) features you can connect Ai to almost anything. At the moment companies like ours are building individual agents to greatly increase the efficiency of "traditional tasks" (e.g. expense submission) and identifying new opportunities (o3 is seriously good as a "strategic" partner when given the right prompt".

          The next jump comes when more companies start linking these tools to create multi-agent systems that approach "Agnetic AI".

          If you're a white collar worker this is not something you can sit back and ignore.

            @cjhero: What about the problems you've had with it? Or do they leave 4o buggy thinking that will help sales??
            From my experience, there is no way I'd trust it for the stuff you're doing.

              @SlickMick: The biggest problem is hallucinations, incorrect information presented confidently. That has become less of an issue for us as we moved from 4o to o3 or any of the google models.

              We review the AI output before submitting anything. That being said, the error rate from AI is below what we were getting when doing it manually with a human…

            @cjhero: This is my biggest problem with AI.

            It will become required because other companies will use it more and more.

            I already feel like I'm becoming dumber by letting it scrape through documentation instead of reading it myself.

            But not doing it seems like a waste… Ugh

              @Telios:

              It will become required because other companies will use it more and more.

              Totally agree.

              I already feel like I'm becoming dumber by letting it scrape through documentation instead of reading it myself.

              I feel that, although in other hand it's also a pretty handy teaching tool. I've got a house built in the 1920's and all of a sudden we could hear a quiet low frequency hiss reverberating though out the house but nothing could be heard when I checked outside the house. I uploaded a video of the hiss, it analysed the frequency and provided me with a list of potential causes & a checklist to eliminate them one by one.

              It turned out to be high pressure from the water mains causing my piping to vibrate and whistle, council were doing work on the mains supply, when they finished it stopped.

              • SlickMick on 07/08/2025 - 16:24

                @cjhero: I don't feel dumber, I've just had to learn a different skill set. And I don't trust it enough to not read the docs myself. Now, instead of trying to keep an entire document in my head, I let gpt do that. But I have to continually remind it of bits it missed.
                Me: "Why didn't you include NSW legislation?"
                gpt: "The business is in Qld"
                Me: "It has stores in NSW"
                gpt: "oh I'm so sorry. You're right…[rewrites answer]"
                Me: [next fact it missed]…. loop around until I can't find anything else that's been missed
                Me: sanity check whether the final result is what was originally asked for or if we drifted totally off topic with all the iterations. Either accept result or abort and start over.

      If you use it productively then the rate limits are a drag.

        I had a whinge and asked what competitors would provide a better experience. I decided that I'd jump between them as I hit limits. The next day they removed the limits. Now apparently I get throttled, but I haven't noticed.

    Thanks! I got this offer too.

  • Shina on 05/08/2025 - 17:03

    Just a general question: I was trying to subscribe today, and I noticed the pricing is in USD. If I add a debit or credit card, will I be charged an international transaction fee? If so, what’s the best way to avoid it or get the best exchange rate?

    • Ozybargdias on 05/08/2025 - 17:08

      ChatGPT Plus is a flat $30 AUD/month ($19.39 USD) through iOS - no currency exchange required. Not sure if the same for Android.

      • Shina on 05/08/2025 - 17:12

        Thanks, good to know that the app shows the price in AUD — it shows $33.99/month on my Android device though. I paid $35.31 today via the CBD Travel card.

    • SuperMid on 05/08/2025 - 17:54

      If you heavily use chat gpt, the free one only lets you use it for a small amount per day before it stops responding for 24 hours. Image creation, document creation and review is also highly limited.

      • Lucille Bluth on 05/08/2025 - 17:56
        +6

        And free version is also slower in generating responses.

      • amsaini15 on 05/08/2025 - 18:02

        Thanks mate. May be I don't use it often as I have not faced this problem much. But yes I can see where it is heading, I will certainly be using more often.

        • SlickMick on 06/08/2025 - 09:06

          It stopped the timeouts for me. Maybe because I threatened to leave??
          and I don't have an issue with speed, actually I'm trying to get it to slow down and think about the crap it's saying before it says it. "In your head first chatGPT - does that make sense? Does it contradict something you've just said? Does it contradict common knowledge?"

          chatGPT is like the incompetent person at the front desk that you need to go through to get the information you want.

      • Waxhedd on 05/08/2025 - 22:13
        +2

        This is not entirely true. It only stops if you’ve uploaded files or generated an image and want to continue the conversation beyond the token limit.
        You can have seemingly unlimited plain text chats, it just drops the model to a lower and slower tier after you reach a certain usage cap.

    • JIMB0 on 05/08/2025 - 18:25

    • Ozsaver88 on 06/08/2025 - 15:27

      One of the best things of the paid ChatGPT subscription was its ability to create multiple projects and upload documents (like PDFs) for deeper reading and analysis.

      I remember uploading 10 research papers and pulling insights with citations - no more jumping between tabs. So totally worth it

      Great for businesses.

      Free version you can only upload 2 files per day. Paid is unlimited. My mate who does analytics uploads files such as excel etc and tell it to find flaws.

      It's effing crazy what chatGPT finds with errors.

      It also helped me with my website html, it cleaned up so much and fixed errors that I didn't know was there.

              Chatgpt is probably the "best" of that lot although I find they all have some value

              @HAL 9000: Gemini 2.5 Pro and Grok 4 lead in raw reasoning (intelligence) and benchmarks, while Claude models are typically the best for practical coding agents but they are also very good for realistic human sounding writing. ChatGPT o3 offers is very good creatively and not far behind behind 2.5 Pro and Grok 4 in intelligence.

              Gemini Pro's best strength is the large context window (how much info you can dump into it).

              Claude and ChatGPT have big positives in using their web portal / desktop applications instead of using API access. ChatGPT and Claude can connect with gmail / gdrive and use it for context when giving answers removing the need to build a RAG.

              Claude has also created something called "MCP" which is a protocol to using your Ai to connect to other applications. They also just introduced Zapier as an integration allowing you connect to thousands of different applications.

              If I could only pay for one I would choose Claude although ChatGPT is a a very good second. If you're already paying for chatGPT try out Claude for a month.

              @ScruffTheJanitor: Hmm "could easily do themselves" not sure about that. I am getting through so many "will get to it one day" type tasks that I'm sure I could have done, but the extra support from these LLMs really gives me the assurance that I will get the job done.

              I reckon my todo list progress has increased by x10

        Same as all the other Turkish Apple ID guides (Disney+ etc) just sub ChatGPT through Turkish Apple ID once signed up & topped up account via Turgame

    • dsar on 06/08/2025 - 08:52

    • isthisreallife22 on 06/08/2025 - 12:50

      $20 p/month still a fair bit :(

  • dvddirect on 05/08/2025 - 17:32

    Sweet - thanks!

  • onceupon8 on 05/08/2025 - 17:34

    Does this work if your are subscribed and billed through Apple?

    • BaarOzGain on 05/08/2025 - 18:02

      Doesn't seem to be working, or at least it didn't work for me.

  • Shieldsy85 on 05/08/2025 - 17:44

  • Tarinedier on 05/08/2025 - 17:49

    Thanks, worked great for me. Have had a paid sub for a while

  • ordinarygreenbottle on 05/08/2025 - 17:52

    Worked for me. Same as above, have had a paid sub for a while (Dec 2023).

    I pay AU$8.50 (US$5.50) per month for a shared account with randos via Gamsgo.

    You can search using the temporary private chat mode if you don't want to share what you enter into the app. Or if it isn't sensitive information then no worries but everyone can see what you enter, but not know who you are otherwise, unless you enter identifiable information. Most of the people in my group are non-English speakers, or lonely people likely in love with ChatGPT. For a quarter of the usual price I am fine to go via this route.

    It is fascinating to see what people type into it.

    I use it mostly for work and to make practice games in tandem with Duolingo to learn how to conjugate verbs. Having the ability to ask as many things as I want, or upload things without any restrictions, is definitely worth going premium for. It is also faster at generating responses.
