How to Recharge Claude with a Redemption Code? Step-by-Step Guide to Claiming and Redeeming After Payment

After completing your payment on CatCard, simply retrieve your redemption code from the order page, then visit the dedicated recharge portal to enter the redemption code along with your own Claude account's sessionKey. Once submitted and verified, your Pro or Max subscription recharge will be complete.

Confirming Your Recharge Plan and Service Overview

CatCard is an independent third-party digital service website and is not affiliated with Anthropic. We provide convenient personal Claude account recharge services for users in need, helping resolve issues such as restricted payment methods. Currently, Claude's official personal plans include the Free tier, Pro, and the higher-tier Max (available in 5x and 20x options), alongside Team and Enterprise plans for organizations. Both the Pro and Max plans support access to Claude Code.

On our site, you can choose the monthly recharge product that best fits your daily usage frequency. Currently, our reference prices are: ¥160 for a 1-month Claude Pro recharge, ¥950 for 1 month of Max 5x, and ¥1850 for 1 month of Max 20x. Because channel costs may fluctuate with market conditions, please refer to the real-time prices on the product page at checkout.

Step 1: Look Up Your Order and Claim Your Redemption Code

Once you have selected the desired tier on our site and completed the payment, the system will automatically process your order and generate a unique redemption code. Typically, the page will automatically redirect to the order details page after a successful payment, where you can directly see an alphanumeric redemption code required for the subsequent recharge.

If you accidentally closed the browser tab after paying, or if the page did not redirect automatically, you can easily retrieve it using our on-site order lookup feature. To look up an order, simply enter the contact information and lookup password you provided at checkout. Once verified, you can view your order history and copy the redemption code.

  • Keep a record of the contact information and lookup password you set at checkout so you can check your order anytime.
  • After locating the redemption code on the order details page, we recommend using the copy button to avoid manual typing errors.
  • Each redemption code corresponds to the specific plan you purchased (such as Pro or Max) and is valid for a single redemption only.

Step 2: Retrieve Your Claude Account's sessionKey

After getting your redemption code, do not close your browser yet. Because our service uses a self-service recharge mechanism, the system needs your account's sessionKey to locate your profile and update your subscription status—meaning you never have to share your account password with anyone. You will need to log in to your personal Claude account on a desktop browser and make sure you are on the standard chat interface.

Next, extract the sessionKey using your browser's Developer Tools. Typically, you can right-click on any blank area of the page and select "Inspect" (or press F12) to open Developer Tools. Switch to the "Application" or "Storage" tab, find the entry for the current website under the "Cookies" list on the left, and locate the item named sessionKey on the right. Simply copy its entire corresponding value.

Step 3: Submit for Redemption on the Dedicated Recharge Portal and Verify Status

With both your redemption code and sessionKey ready, follow the instructions on your order page to visit the dedicated recharge portal. On the portal's interface, you will see corresponding input fields. Simply paste the copied redemption code and your account's sessionKey into their designated boxes, double-check for accuracy, and click submit to redeem.

Once submitted, the system will automatically execute the recharge process, which usually takes a brief moment. When the page indicates that the redemption is successful, return to the official Claude website, refresh the page or log back into your account, and navigate to the Billing or Subscription section under Settings to confirm that your subscription status has been updated to your purchased Pro or Max plan.

  • When pasting the information, check for any extra spaces at the beginning or end to prevent recognition errors.
  • After submitting your redemption, please wait patiently for the page to return the result; avoid refreshing frequently or clicking repeatedly during this time.
  • Once the recharge is complete, your specific usage limits and feature entitlements on Claude are subject to the official website's current terms.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting Tips

During the process, some users may encounter a failure prompt after submission. This is usually caused by one of two reasons: either the sessionKey was not copied completely (or became invalid because you logged out of your Claude account after extracting it), or the redemption code was pasted incorrectly. If you see an error message, we recommend logging back into Claude to extract a fresh sessionKey, carefully verifying your redemption code, and trying again.

If you have confirmed that all entered details are completely accurate but the redemption still fails—or if the recharge portal displays an unknown status—please do not panic. As long as the redemption code has not been successfully redeemed, your order entitlement remains safe. Keep your order number, checkout contact details, and a screenshot of the error page, and contact our customer support directly for assistance.
