Midjourney, as one of the most popular AI drawing tools today, has become the first choice for designers, illustrators, content creators, and even ordinary enthusiasts due to its high-quality image generation and artistic creation capabilities. However, to fully enjoy all the features of Midjourney, a membership subscription is required. The problem is that Midjourney's payment system requires binding an international credit card, and many domestic users do not have suitable bank cards. At this point, virtual credit cards become the best solution.
In this tutorial, we will take EasyPay (official website) as an example to explain in detail how to apply for a virtual credit card, complete the Midjourney subscription, and share solutions to common problems. If you have any questions during the process, you can also directly contact Telegram customer service for one-on-one assistance.
🪪 1. Application for Virtual Credit Card and Preparation#
Before officially activating the Midjourney membership, you need to prepare a usable virtual credit card. Taking EasyPay as an example, the entire process is simple and efficient:
-
Register an Account
- Visit the EasyPay official website, which supports email registration and also allows one-click login with a Telegram account.
- After registration, you can enter the user center without cumbersome verification.
-
Recharge Balance
- Use USDT (TRC20) to recharge your account, which is almost instant.
- It is recommended to deposit at least 10U for the first recharge, which can cover the card opening fee and reserve funds for subsequent subscriptions.
-
Apply for Card Opening
- Click "Apply for Virtual Card" on the homepage.
- The card opening fee is only 3U, with no monthly fee, no annual fee, and no additional hidden costs.
- No real-name KYC is required, greatly lowering the usage threshold.
-
Obtain Card Information
After successfully opening the card, you will see the complete virtual card information:- Card Number (16 digits)
- Expiration Date (MM/YY)
- CVV Security Code (3 digits)
- Billing Name
- Billing Address (default provided, supports the US or Hong Kong)
This information will be used for payments on Midjourney, equivalent to a standard international Visa/Master credit card.
💬 2. Registering a Discord Account (Essential Step)#
Many new users think they can use Midjourney by registering directly on the official website, but this is not the case. Midjourney relies entirely on the Discord community to operate, which is its biggest difference from other AI tools.

/newbie
for new users to experience.
Tip: Even without a subscription, users can experience a limited amount of free drawing in the newbie channel, but the features and number of uses are limited. To have a deeper experience, you must complete the subsequent paid subscription.
💳 3. Midjourney Subscription Activation Process#
After completing the Discord registration, you can officially enter the subscription process.
-
Go to the Subscription Page

After clicking confirm, the system will automatically deduct the fee. If the payment is successful, the subscription will take effect immediately and unlock advanced features in your Discord account.

⚠️ 5. Common Problems and Solutions#
During payment and usage, you may encounter some issues. Here are detailed answers:
