What top-up, ready-made accounts, redeem codes, and SMS codes are, and how to choose
Want the membership on the account you already use? Choose a top-up. No account, or want an account with the membership already active? Choose a ready-made account. An SMS code is just a number for passing phone verification and includes no membership. Exactly what each product delivers is in "Before you buy" on its product page.
AI membership subscriptions and API credits are not the same: know the difference before buying
Membership subscriptions (such as ChatGPT Plus, Claude Max) are used on the official website and app, and you pay a single fee monthly or yearly. API credits are for developers to call models and are billed separately based on usage. Buying a membership does not mean you have API balance, and vice versa.
The 7 things to check before buying an AI membership
Before paying, go through these 7 things: specifications, account requirements, warranty, delivery method, payment amount, payment address, and order link. Most after-sales disputes involve the first three.
Paid but nothing arrived, or the top-up failed: what to check, in order
First see which step the order page shows, then check in this order: payment confirmed → delivered → redeemed / logged in. Most often the amount did not match, or the account does not meet the top-up conditions.
