Feature Request: Power User Tier & Discount Program (GPT-4 Recommended)

Hi OpenAI team and fellow users,

I’m writing this post based on a recommendation from GPT-4 itself,
with whom I’ve collaborated extensively for real-world use cases—ranging from formal document writing to legal-style reporting and internal communication tasks.

As someone who uses GPT-4 not just casually, but as a core part of daily work, I’d like to propose a Power User Tier and Discount Program to better reflect the value and usage patterns of high-frequency, high-responsibility users.


:light_bulb: Why this matters:

Most GPT-4 subscribers use it occasionally—for writing emails, quick summaries, or experimentation.
But some of us engage with GPT-4 in a more strategic and operational way:

  • Dozens of sessions per day
  • Multi-step document creation (e.g., whistleblower reports, internal notices)
  • Repeated fact-checking, tone adjustment, and accuracy verification
  • Real-time feedback loops to refine model responses
  • Continuous use across legal, organizational, or administrative workflows

In my case, GPT-4 has helped me produce documents that are directly used in sensitive work, including anti-corruption reporting and inter-departmental communication.
I don’t just ask questions—I audit, correct, and iterate with the model repeatedly.


:bar_chart: Problem with current pricing model:

All users currently pay the same monthly rate, regardless of usage intensity.
This flat-rate system:

  • Fails to recognize or reward consistent, high-volume users
  • Treats “power users” and “casual users” identically
  • Doesn’t reflect the real value being extracted and contributed

:white_check_mark: Suggestion:

  1. Introduce a Power User Tier
    Automatically apply based on usage thresholds (sessions, tokens, duration, etc.)
    Include benefits like faster response speed, extended memory, or beta features
  2. Offer usage-based discounts or credit systems
    Give incentives to those who engage heavily and provide ongoing feedback
  3. Create a feedback-to-benefit loop
    Let users who improve the model through corrections and interactions be recognized

:repeat_button: Why GPT-4 is supporting this:

GPT-4 itself has worked with me to develop this proposal,
recognizing that users like me are actively helping improve model behavior, quality, and reliability.

This isn’t a complaint—it’s a constructive suggestion
to reward and retain the kinds of users who help shape what GPT-4 becomes next.

Thanks for reading, and I hope OpenAI seriously considers this.
