unable to authorize credit card

[eastham-nicholas]

in the past months we have made multiple Upwork payments with our credit card. As of yesterday we get the following message:

Sorry, we are unable to authorize this credit card. Please check the card information or try another card. Questions? Contact us.

All card details are unchanged and still correct. Also the card is still valid (not expired).

We want to continue using this company credit card and don't want to change it.

What can we do?

Hi Nicholas, 

I just investigate this and looks like everything is working on our end. You might want to check with your bank about the card if there is a problem. 
If they say that everything is ok, contact me in a PM or customer support with details about this.

[eastham-nicholas]

thanks Goran, all clear.

BTW: how do I contact 'Customer Support' ?

Thanks,

Nicholas

Hi Ramchandramani,

Could you please share the text of the error you`re receiving on your end? Thank you.

[ramchandramani]

Hi, it's saying Unauthorized card, but last week I did payment through this credit card. Please help.

[ramchandramani]

''We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank.''- this is an error I'm getting while doing payments and even I can't purchase connect nor upgrade my plus membership. I did purchased connects on the last 9th of June by the same credit card and now it's giving me this error. Please kindly show me some way!

Hi Zain,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding. 

Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

Hi Nicholas,

Please go to this Link, at the bottom click on the green button Get Help from Upwork. After you fill up the suggested fields in the new pop up you will be asked if you want to chat/submit via ticket/phone or ask on community. You can chose the best option for yourself.

[eastham-nicholas]

I tried that route a few times, but the option chat / phone / email does not appear. These are the only options:

• Discuss with Upwork Communit
• Read Tips on Upwork Hiring Headquarter

So, it's kind of difficult to get in touch with Upwork.

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Nicholas, 

That should not be the case, can you send a screenshot from your end. On my end i have the 4 options that i mentioned below. It might be an error we had a while back, i will have one of our team members have a closer look on this.

If you want to open a ticket now send me the details in a PM and I will open it for you.

I had a PayPal payment process and then tried the very same PayPal and it won't process, I've tried cards that have plenty of limit and none are currently working. If this keeps happening I will go to payoneer, this is beyond frustrating.
