OpenAI offers 2 free months of Codex to enterprise switchers

• OpenAIDevs' promo post says eligible enterprise customers that switch to Codex in the next 30 days get two free months of Codex usage for new users.
• In sama's post, Sam Altman framed the push as a deliberate attempt to make Codex easy for companies to try, not a quiet pricing tweak.
• The migration flow shown in OpenAIDevs' import screenshot suggests OpenAI wants teams to carry over setup, projects, and the last 30 days of chat history, which makes this feel like a real switch campaign rather than a generic credit giveaway.
• Reaction in kimmonismus' post immediately cast the offer as part of the coding-agent price war, especially as rival agent workflows get more expensive or more metered.
• A support email screenshot in TimSuchanek's post shows OpenAI also had to fix a same-day issue where some users were told they would get a one-time Codex credit boost before the credits actually landed.

OpenAI also put up a dedicated enterprise promo form instead of burying the offer in a pricing page. The tweet's screenshots show an import picker for tools, projects, and chat sessions OpenAIDevs' migration UI, while TimSuchanek's support email screenshot caught a separate credits glitch that OpenAI said it later resolved.

OpenAI's public pitch is simple: send the post to your CTO, fill out the form, and enterprise teams that qualify can get two free months of Codex for new users. The promo window is 30 days, according to OpenAIDevs' announcement, and Altman repeated the same framing in sama's post.

The company linked the campaign to an OpenAI enterprise promo form, which makes this look like a sales-assisted migration motion, not a self-serve coupon drop. OpenAIDevs' follow-up link post was literally "saved you a click," pointing people straight at the signup page.

The strongest detail is not the free usage, it is the import screen in OpenAIDevs' screenshot, which shows what OpenAI thinks teams need to preserve when they switch.

The picker includes three checked categories:

• Tools and setup, including settings, instructions, plugins, and skills
• Projects, with the example account showing six existing projects
• Chat sessions, limited to the last 30 days, with 128 chats in the example

A second screenshot in OpenAIDevs' Codex workspace UI also shows project continuity and model handoff, including a "Switching to GPT-5.5" divider inside an active task thread. That is a more enterprise-flavored migration story than a raw credit incentive.

OpenAI did not mention Anthropic or any other rival by name in the promo copy, but the ecosystem read it that way immediately. kimmonismus' reaction framed it as the opening shot in a coding-agent war, and WesRoth's summary post described the campaign as aimed at companies transitioning from rival platforms.

The official language supports that read without saying it outright. sama's post said OpenAI wants to make switching easy, which is stronger language than a generic free-trial announcement, and gdb's post added that enterprises were already showing strong interest.

One useful extra detail came from outside the launch copy. TimSuchanek's support email screenshot shows OpenAI sent at least some users an email saying they may have received a one-time Codex credit boost notice before the credits were actually added.

The support message says the issue was resolved automatically and no user action was required. That appears separate from the enterprise switch campaign, but it is still one of the only concrete operational details surfaced on day one.
