Connects

[#1]

I submitted two proposals, but just as I clicked 'submit proposal,' I found myself outside of the top four bidding positions. However, I still haven't received my boosted connects back.

[#2]

Dear Upwork Team and all, 

I would like to ask about the situation in the attachment. Do I get Connects back? 

[#3]

Only if jobpost will be deleted for ToS violation.

[#4]

It means we can't get Connects again. Oh 🤔

Hi,

My name is Elgun Mehdiyev, and I am a new member on Upwork. Recently, I purchased 100 connects for (reference # 716423705). As a first-time user, I was also given a few additional connects.

Since I haven't used the 100 connects and do not plan to, I am kindly requesting a refund. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an option to request a refund on the website. I also tried using the chat feature, but it did not connect me to a real person or resolve my issue. Additionally, there is no customer service email provided on the website, which has been quite frustrating.

I would appreciate it if my request could be forwarded to the customer service team. Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Elgun Mehdiyev

How to get connects in free, here is some way to earn the connects?

[#8]

I don't know if it is worth it to buy connects. 1 application needs 14-16 connects unlike in some platforms that only needs 1 or 2 onnects to send an application. I feel sad.

[#9]

Sending an offer now needs 14-20 connects per project and it cost me a lot. I am trying to look for a project but 60 connects is ony for 3 proposals. unlike in other platforms that only needs 1 or 2 connects to send an offer. I don't know if it is worth it to buy again.

Hello Upwork team,

It seems to me that I haven't received the free connections after logging in. It's been more than 24 hours since I signed up, and I haven't received them yet. Could you please help me?

Thank you,

[#11]

I applied for a job and return to the feed. And I saw the same client posting the same job with the same description. It's Scam to drain out the connects.  I want my connects back, Upwork. I have attched both files. One is the one I applied for and the 2nd one is another but similar job post from the same client.

Dear Upwork Moderators, please respond.

[#13]

Hello 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have notified our team and shared your report for further review. Please be assured that we return Connects when a client closes their job without hiring or we find a job post has violated our Terms of Service. 

Also, please check this article for more information on using the flag option to report inappropriate content. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

Thank you

Recently there have been so many suspicious job posts. They interview you and immediately ask for your wallet details and I've been reporting them every time and they get banned quickly but my connects to propose and bid on the contract are never refunded.

I got a notification today that one of my proposals was declined because the client is suspended. I went through my connects history but again, no refund of either connects or the extra bid.

[#16]

you buy more

[#17]

Hi Aayush,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. I checked the job you are referring to and it looks like your proposal has been declined by the client. Please know that Connects will be automatically returned to your Upwork account when the job is canceled by the client or the job is removed by Upwork for TOS violation.

I lost some of my connects during verification

[#21]

Hello Sachin,

Thank you for reaching out. I have checked your Connects History page, and it looks like the Connects deducted from your account were used for submitted proposals. I also see some Connects that have been refunded for canceled jobs.  

You can access your Connects History on this page. Let me know if you need further assistance.

[#22]

That's the problem mam, I have applied some jobs I usually do that and when the job closed I'll get the connects I applied 3 jobs at that day and the day before. suddenly my account went into verification and it withdraw all the proposal automatically when I got my account verified it withdraw all the proposal. So I lost my connects. I only apply for geinune clients because they only close there job after selecting clients. I never withdraw even a single proposal except the first one it's long before
