Also known as from xLog to ChatGPT
Last week, I was honored to receive an official sponsorship of $20 MIRA. However, due to some minor issues, I did not complete the withdrawal process, and it remained in a pending state. It wasn't until I saw that the $18 trial amount gifted to my OpenAI account would expire on April 1st that I realized I could use this money to go through the Depay card activation and verification process. (Currently, the "531993" segment is temporarily feasible)
1. MIRA Withdrawal#
After receiving MIRA, open the "Tokens" page in the backend. Under the $MIRA project, there are two buttons: "Convert to USDC" and "Conversion Tutorial". The tutorial includes a video, so just follow the instructions. Pay attention to the following points:
- Prepare some MATIC in your wallet in advance to pay for gas fees. If you don't have any, you can buy some directly from an exchange.
- On Uniswap, choose to convert MATIC to USDT directly.
- If you encounter any problems during the withdrawal process, you can send an email to the official support team. They are very responsive in fixing and replying.
2. Depay Card Activation#
Go directly to Depay registration (including invitation, please do not click if you mind), and apply for a Mastercard. The specific tariff levels are marked, so choose accordingly.
After applying, you need to deposit $10 to activate the card. Click on "Wallet" -> "USDT" -> "Deposit". Here, I chose Polygon, so please make sure to select the correct network to avoid any loss of funds.
After obtaining the deposit address, send the desired amount to that address from your wallet.
- After sending, you can check the pending amount in Depay's wallet after about one or two minutes.
- It will be processed in about ten to fifteen minutes, and the deposit will be credited to the card.
- When enabling Google authentication, there is no problem using Google Authenticator, but when using apps like Aegis, importing the QR code directly will result in an incorrect verification code. In this case, you can manually add the entry by copying the secret displayed on the screen. (It seems that there may be an issue with correctly handling the base32 of the secret. If you are interested, you can also try my developed Two-Factor Authentication App, although it also has this problem XD...)
3. OpenAI Card Binding#
Note: This is for the API, not ChatGPT Plus. There is a difference between the two.
-
It is recommended to enable the global mode of a proxy tool and use a node with a real IP. Also, open the browser in incognito mode.
-
Log in and visit the billing dashboard, then click on "Set Payment Method".
-
With the global proxy enabled, check the location of your current IP. Here, I use ipip to check.
-
Generate a billing address for your current location. If it is the United States, pay attention to the issue of tax-exempt states. Here, I use a Japanese IP with the location set as Osaka. You can directly ask ChatGPT to help you with the specific address, for example:
- Fill in the necessary information correctly. There is an input restriction for the postal code on the first line. In the image, you can enter 55600.
At this point, the binding is successful.

Some people have reported that the renewal fails after one month (Plus), while others have said that it can be resolved by re-payment. The specific situation is unknown and needs to be observed after one month...
-
The fees generated by Depay are not low. Considering various factors, if there are better options, do not prioritize this solution.
-
As for the security issues, well... I choose to use and recharge as needed :)
