Amazon, Delta and United are reported to block agent purchases. - Spending limits and pre-approved purchases are planned but have no date. OpenAI began rolling out ChatGPT Wallet on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026. It lets the company's dots AI agents pay for things with a card you save once. As of Nov. 13, access is limited to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the U.S. who are 18 or older, according to OpenAI's announcement, and every purchase needs a Face ID or fingerprint check from you first. ## Who can use ChatGPT Wallet in the U.S. right now? Only Pro subscribers aged 18 and up with a U.S. billing address and an eligible U.S.-issued card. The Verge reports that OpenAI's support page names American Express, Chase, Mastercard and Visa cards. TechCrunch's summary lists Visa, Mastercard and American Express. The two lists differ, so check OpenAI's support page for your exact card before you count on it. TechCrunch adds that the launch goes to a limited number of Pro users at first. OpenAI says the narrow start lets it learn from real-world use and work with businesses, banks and payment networks before expanding. Wallet runs through dots, the agent platform OpenAI launched earlier this year, according to The Verge. None of the coverage we read gives a date for Plus or free accounts. ## How does a purchase with ChatGPT Wallet work? You add a card to the wallet one time, then ask your dot to help you buy something. Before checkout you see the items, the total and the card selected. You approve with a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan, and OpenAI says each approval creates a record of the purchase you authorized. Once you approve, the payment network supplies a payment token. That is a substitute for your real card number, security code and expiration date, so OpenAI says neither the agent nor the business sees your actual card details. The Verge compares the setup to tap to pay, Apple Pay or Google Wallet. The merchant still gets what it needs to ship the order, such as your address and contact information, from the dot, TechCrunch reports. OpenAI also says you keep your card's rewards and its protections for eligible disputes, for example when an item arrives defective. Engadget reports that OpenAI is not taking a cut of purchases made through the system for now. ## What can ChatGPT Wallet not do yet? It cannot spend on its own. Today a person signs off on every purchase. OpenAI says it expects users to be able to hand purchases fully to an agent later, by setting spending limits, purchase categories or time periods, but it has not said when. It also will not work everywhere. Some retailers block AI agents outright. The Verge notes that Amazon blocked Meta's Muse agents earlier this year, and TechCrunch calls Amazon the largest retailer to ban agents. Engadget reports that Delta and United Airlines ban agent purchases too. OpenAI's own announcement admits the gap. Websites need to make sure agents are not blocked, and payment and risk systems have to recognize legitimate agent purchases, or those orders could be declined or canceled. To help, OpenAI published a Commerce Partner Playbook for businesses and says it is working with fraud-prevention companies Forter, Riskified, Sardine and Signifyd, and payment providers Adyen, Checkout.com and Stripe. ## Our take: the approval screen is the whole product This section is our opinion, not reporting. Engadget's blunt reaction is that Wallet means handing payment information to a chatbot, and that does carry risk. The token design narrows it, because the agent never holds your card number. It does not remove the everyday problem, which is that an agent can put the wrong item, size or shipping address in a cart. That makes the per-purchase check the feature worth watching. It is slower than the fully hands-off shopping OpenAI says it wants eventually, and slow is probably right for a first release. If you are in the Pro group, read the total and the address on the approval screen the way you would at a normal checkout, not on autopilot. Holiday shopping season is close, so expect more retailers to be asked where they stand on agents. That last part is a prediction, not a report. ## What is confirmed and what is not - **Confirmed by OpenAI:** rollout began Nov. 13; Pro subscribers 18 and older in the U.S. with eligible U.S.-issued cards; a security check on every purchase; payment tokens instead of real card details; card rewards and dispute protections kept. - **Not yet confirmed:** when other ChatGPT plans get access, when spending limits and pre-approved purchases arrive, which retailers will accept agent payments, and whether OpenAI will start taking a cut of purchases. - **Disputed between outlets:** the exact list of eligible card brands, with Chase named in The Verge's account but not in TechCrunch's. ## Related reading - [Outlook outage: Microsoft 365 down, what we know](/post/outlook-outage-microsoft-365-down-what-we-know) - [Google, Samsung glasses: $395 preorder, Dec. 10 launch](/post/google-samsung-glasses-395-preorder-dec-10-launch) Picture credit: OpenAI
