On 30 July 2026, Revolut began bundling OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go with its retail plans at no extra charge, and the trial terms expressly list the UK among eligible markets. How long the free period lasts depends on the plan.
| Plan | Free ChatGPT Go |
|---|---|
| Ultra | 12 months, plus a 12-month Buddy Pass for a second person |
| Metal | 12 months |
| Premium, Revolut Pro, Revolut Mobile | 6 months |
| Plus, Standard | 3 months, invitation only, window 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027 |
| After the free period | Auto-renews at the standard monthly rate, billed directly by OpenAI |
| Cancellation | At least 24 hours before the free period ends |
What the benefit is worth
ChatGPT Go is OpenAI’s budget tier: higher usage limits, file uploads, image generation and a memory feature, one step below Plus, which the UK App Store lists at £19.99 a month. Go itself costs £6.99 a month there. Against that price list, twelve free months come to £83.88 and six months to £41.94 — a straight multiplication, not a Revolut figure. One caveat: OpenAI’s web checkout, which is what the subscription rolls onto, publishes no static UK price. The company quotes $8 a month in the US and says pricing is localised in some markets.
The fine print
Revolut says the Standard and Plus invitations will go out “in the coming weeks”.
The trial requires being 18 or over, opting in to marketing communications, and having had no ChatGPT subscription at any point in the previous three months.
Activating the benefit means storing a payment card with OpenAI. Revolut’s UK help pages spell this out for Premium holders explicitly: switch off auto-renewal, or pay.
There’s a smaller wrinkle in Revolut’s own documentation. The UK help centre lists the benefit for Premium, Metal and Ultra only, while the six months for Revolut Pro and Revolut Mobile appear solely in the press release.
Our view
Structurally this is as much a distribution deal for OpenAI as a perk for Revolut’s customers, who number over 75 million according to the company. The mechanics — marketing opt-in, a card on file with OpenAI, automatic conversion, exclusion of existing subscribers — point to turning people who have never paid for ChatGPT into subscribers who may forget to cancel.
Anyone eyeing a plan upgrade purely for the perk faces awkward arithmetic: Metal costs £14.99 a month, more than double Go’s £6.99 App Store price.
