How to Use Giftogram in Unsupported Countries | GPT Plus Payment Guide 💳

I was selected as Employee of the Month and received a $50 Giftogram. Excited to use it, I soon realized one problem. I live in South Korea, a country where Giftogram is not supported. Yes, that means I couldn’t use it directly…

So, how can you use Giftogram in an unsupported country?

In this guide, let’s explore how to utilize Giftogram for international payments and specifically how to use it for GPT Plus subscriptions.

🎁 What Is Giftogram? Can You Use It in Unsupported Countries?

Giftogram is a digital gift card platform that allows users to load a specific amount and exchange it for branded gift cards. It’s widely used in the United States by companies as employee rewards or giveaway prizes, but individuals can also purchase it.

However, Giftogram is not officially available in Korea. This means that you cannot buy it directly or use a Korean credit card to make a purchase.

💡 Similar gift card services include:

Google Play Gift Cards → Load funds and purchase apps
Apple Gift Cards → Buy content on the App Store
Amazon Gift Cards → Purchase products on Amazon
PayPal Gift Cards → Use for PayPal transactions

Unlike these services, Giftogram allows users to exchange their balance for various brand gift cards, making it more flexible.

🛒 How to Use Giftogram for International Payments

Even though Giftogram is not available for purchase in Korea, you can still use it if you receive one through a U.S. account or from an international event.

Here’s how to make the most of Giftogram for overseas payments.

✅ 1. How to Obtain a Giftogram

Giftogram is typically provided in the following ways:

Event giveaways: Some international platforms or apps offer it as a promotional reward
Company bonuses: Many U.S. companies give it as an employee incentive
Gift from a friend: Someone living abroad can send it to you

Since you can’t buy Giftogram directly in Korea, your best bet is to receive it as a gift or win it through an event.

✅ 2. Convert Giftogram to a Usable Gift Card

Once you have a Giftogram, you can exchange it for a branded gift card on its official website.

Options include Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, Target, and more
For ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, it’s best to convert it into a Visa or Mastercard gift card

✅ 3. Use the Converted Gift Card for Online Payments

If you convert Giftogram to a Visa or Mastercard gift card, you can use it just like a regular credit card.

💡 Example: Paying for ChatGPT Plus

Go to OpenAI’s official website and select ChatGPT Plus subscription
Enter the details of your converted Visa/Mastercard gift card as the payment method
Complete the payment and confirm your subscription

By following these steps, you can use Giftogram to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus.

🔥 Things to Watch Out for When Using Giftogram Internationally

While Giftogram can be a convenient solution for overseas payments, there are a few potential issues to keep in mind.

⚠ 1. Payment May Fail if Using a Korean IP Address

Some international websites may block transactions from unsupported regions. To avoid payment failure, use a VPN to switch to a U.S. IP address before making the purchase.

⚠ 2. Some Gift Cards May Be Region-Locked

When exchanging Giftogram for a specific brand’s gift card, some options may be limited to U.S. usage only. Before redeeming, make sure the selected gift card supports international transactions.

⚠ 3. Insufficient Balance Could Cause Payment Failure

Many gift cards require exact balances for successful payments. For example, if ChatGPT Plus costs $20, but your gift card has $19.99, the transaction may fail. Make sure your balance is accurate before proceeding.
