Hi all,

 

We are no longer awarding free Connects for every interview won or disclosing the number of Connects rewarded in these cases. Unfortunately, we learned from our community that some dishonest customers were gaming the system to get free Connects they didn’t deserve. We occasionally may still give out different amounts of Connects based on factors like the number of jobs available in the marketplace. 

 

For more information, please see this Product Update. You can check your Connects History here.

I got answer myself for this question.

 

Yes, I can get free 10 connects for interviewing even the project post is deleted or cancelled.

Hey, hope you're doing good. I won an interview from a client yesterday but didn't get 10 connects and it's been more than 24 hours now.

Can you please help me.

Yes, you should get 10 connects for interviewing, but if you didn't get those connects in 24 hours. Then Upwork will keep you waiting for 48 hours. Even not getting connects after 48 hours, then check your connects rewards history. Upwork offers all freelancers to get up to 50 connects in a week. If it's reached 50 connects within 7 days, there'll be no 10 connects rewards for interviewing. You can't get more than 50 connects in a week. Hopefully you'll get it all.

Hi Upwork,

 

I have applied to different projects and got contacted by multiple clients but I haven't received any free connects yet and it's more than 24 hours. I have also checked connects history section but could not find it.

 

Thanks

Hi Fasih,

 

Please note that since the day has not ended, you may still receive pending Connects to be awarded until the end of the day, in accordance with the UTC time zone. If by tomorrow you still are not able to see the Connects you were supposed to receive, you may reach out to us again so we can assist you further. Feel free to check this help article to learn more.

Hi Rohit,

 

Thanks for following up. I checked and can confirm you did receive the maximum of 50 Connects between the days of August 20th and 27th. This is why the rest of the interviews were not eligible.

Hi Rohit,

 

Thank you for your message. The maximum limit of 50 Connects is calculated on any given 7 days.

 

Thank you,

Hello, i have the same problem, maybe there is a bug that doesn't register correctly two or more connects and and gives just one.

Hi Mihaela,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked and noticed that you have already received free Connects for the two most recent interviews. You can refer to the Connect History page for more information

 

Thank you,

Can you please check my profile? Why am I not awarded free connects, I won the interview and was hired today.

 

Also, I don't see this one as an open job in my profile section. Can you please verify

Hello! It's been 36 hours since my interview and I haven't gotten my connects yet. I got the connects for another interview that happened later though.
