Hi Asif,

 

It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
 
Thanks!

Hi Tamseel,

 

It looks like the charge on your card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline and confirm if they allow recurring transactions on their cards as Upwork payments are classified as ’recurring’.

 

Thank you!

Hello Mohammed,

 

Thank you for your message. I see that you have two active cards already on your account and do not see any declined status on them. Are you trying to add a new card now?

Hi Hiralal, 


I'm sorry for the confusion this has caused. I would like to confirm that these to charges are verification charges on your credit card. You will need to verify these amounts on your Upwork account before you can use your credit card as a billing method. You may read more about it here for more information. 

 

I will go ahead and share your account information and these screen grabs with the Customer Support Team so that they can reach out to you to assist you further.

I am unable to buy my connects as every time I try to, I get this message, "We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank."

 

I have visa debit card. Also, I have been receiving my payments directly into my bank and had no issue before. This is the first time I am trying to add connects by letting upwork charge from the same account. Why is this happening now? 

I want to buy connects. I am trying to add mastercard as billing method. I saw following error :

"We are unable to authorize your card. Kindly contact with your Issuing Bank." 

I contact with my bank and use same card on other websites , it is working well.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue so I can buy more connects to work.

when i add my any visa and master card for buy connects or upgrade the membership it shows we are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing............. Kindly tell me how to fix it

Hi Mary Joy, 


I checked your account and can confirm that the transaction didn't go through. If you believe there is a mistake, please contact your issuing bank directly for more information on why this is the case. 

In the meantime, please add an alternative billing method so that you can upgrade your membership plan.
