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.

Hi all,
As a freelancer or agency, you'll use Connects to Submit Proposals and let clients know you're interested in their project. You receive ten free Connects every month at the beginning of your billing cycle and bonuses for some interviews you win. We will send you a notification in Upwork (notification bell) and an email when you earn free Connects. For more information on how this works, check out our guide here.

Its not a scam when you consider the marketing work you have to put up to gain a contract without Upwork. This platform has always been a great source of earning for me and have given long term contracts too. As Laurs suggests, you need to filter job opportunities and apply for only the ones that fits and feels best for you. Consider the membership, $20/month is reasonable price.

$20 for 100 creds with an average bid being 22 would give me 4 chances to bid a month if I don't want to spend more. Marketing yourself can be done efficiently, but the idea that it puts you in front of much more than 4 people for $20 is what I'm getting at.
Extrapolate that to a budget of $100 a month to pay for a Google Ad vs $100 worth of credits that lock you into 22 oppurtunities vs lead potential on an ad running all month in your keyword and location.

Hi Ruth,
You use Connects to submit proposals to clients when you're interested in applying for a project. You can learn more about how they work in this article.

I just realized that Connects expire after a year. Can someone expain to me how our money expires??? This feels unethical and not even sure how that is legal.

There are many jobs recently I have seen where clients joins on the same day and post the jobs. Then freelancers use their connects and then we find job is cancelled, it is also same job is closed without hiring. but I dont see connects are getting refunded.
Please have a look and correct your system. We are buying connects with our hard earned money and new clients (altered) are cheating.

I've been noticing this happening for months and instances of this have been reported to Upwork - nothing has changed.

Hello Kapil,
Connects are automatically refunded when a client cancels their job post before starting a contract with a freelancer, or if their job post is removed from the platform because it violates the Terms of Service.
I've reviewed your Connects History and the jobs you've recently applied to and can confirm that everything is accurate. You may visit this article to learn more.

Hi All
My friend has many Connect Points and wants to share with me some.
Could she transfer her Connect Points to others?
Jun 27, 2024 07:56:26 AM by Natasha P
Hi there, Giang. No, this is not possible to transfer connects between different accounts.
Jun 28, 2024 11:21:28 AM by Jay K
I often receive invitations to submit proposal. Interestingly, today after submitting to the invitation, I had to pay with connects. This was not there earlier. This is a new thing introduced by Upwork. God bless!
Jun 29, 2024 01:40:09 PM by Luiggi R
Hi Vivian,
Thank you for reaching out. This is because you've already received a refund for the Connects you used when you applied for this job. If you go to your Connects History page and filter the last 90 days, the refund should be visible as issued on May 28th.
Jun 30, 2024 04:17:15 AM Edited Jun 30, 2024 09:09:47 AM by Pradeep H
The job is closed without hiring anyone, then what about refund of the connects?
