Unlock Gemini with Google AI Pro using a virtual card
Google keeps rejecting your card, or the plan won't accept your local bank card? Fund a ScarabPay virtual Visa with USDT, add it to your Google payments profile and upgrade Gemini in a few minutes.
What a Google AI plan unlocks beyond chat
Google AI Pro is a Google One membership, so one card payment covers more than the Gemini app.
Gemini inside Gmail and Docs
The plan brings Gemini into Google apps such as Gmail and Docs, so you can draft, summarise and edit where you already work.
Extra cloud storage
Every Google AI plan includes Google One storage shared across Drive, Gmail and Photos.
Sharing with your family group
Google One benefits can be shared with members of your Google family group; the plan page lists what is shared in your country.
Why your card gets declined on Gemini
Gemini plans are sold through Google One and paid from your Google payments profile. When the upgrade fails, it is usually one of these.
Google refuses the card on your payments profile
Google checks every card you add to your Google Account. Local debit cards that block online or foreign merchants often fail this check, and the upgrade simply returns an error.
The ScarabPay virtual Visa is built for online payments to international merchants.
The payments profile country doesn't match
Your Google payments profile has a country and address saved. A mismatched billing address or name can make Google refuse the purchase.
Keep your profile details consistent and enter the card exactly as it appears in ScarabPay.
Low balance on the renewal day
Google One charges the saved card automatically at every renewal. If the balance is short, the membership is put on hold and Gemini falls back to the free tier.
Top up the card before the renewal date shown in Google One.
How to pay for Gemini step by step

Open a ScarabPay account

- 2
Add USDT
Deposit USDT to your ScarabPay balance from any wallet or exchange.
- 3
Issue the reloadable virtual card
Create the reloadable virtual card and load a little more than the plan price shown by Google.
- 4
Go to the Google One plans page
Sign in at one.google.com, or open Gemini and tap Upgrade, then choose Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra.
- 5
Add the card to Google Pay
In the payment window choose Add card, then enter the number, expiry date, CVV and the name shown in ScarabPay.
- 6
Confirm and use Gemini
Once paid, the plan is linked to your Google Account and unlocks in the Gemini app on every device where you are signed in.
Which ScarabPay card should you use?
Virtual
Google One renews Google AI plans automatically on the same card. The reloadable virtual card stays in your Google payments profile, so you only add balance before each renewal.
Lite
Lite is meant for a single purchase. Google may accept the first payment, but the next automatic renewal would fail and the membership would be put on hold.
Tips so your payment goes through
- Subscribe on the web at one.google.com rather than inside the iPhone app, so the charge goes to your card and not to your Apple ID.
- Check the next billing date in your Google One membership settings and top up a day earlier.
- Keep the plan on one Google Account; benefits such as extra storage follow that account.
Frequently asked questions
Is Gemini Advanced the same as Google AI Pro?
Google renamed its paid Gemini plan. The upgrade is now sold as Google AI Pro, with Google AI Ultra above it, through Google One, and it unlocks Gemini's advanced models.
Does the plan include Google storage?
Yes. Google AI plans are Google One memberships and include cloud storage for Drive, Gmail and Photos. The exact amount is listed on the plan page.
Why did Google hold a small amount when I added the card?
Google may place a small temporary verification charge to confirm the card. It is reversed automatically and is not a subscription payment.
Can I pay with the same card if I bought the plan on my iPhone?
Plans bought in the iOS app are billed by Apple. Cancel the subscription in your Apple ID settings, wait for the period to end, then subscribe again at one.google.com with your virtual card.
How do I cancel Google AI Pro?
Open your Google One membership settings and cancel the plan. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
