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.

Hi Zeyad,

 

In order to receive Connects for an interview you need to:

 

Submit a proposal to a job.
Win an interview from a client.
Respond and win a bonus!


Note: Direct offers and invitations from clients won’t receive a Connects credit. If the job post you're referring to meets these guidelines and it's been more than 24 hours, please let me know which one it is so I could check this for you. You can check your Connects History to confirm if you've received your Connects.

Hi Donia,

 

We appreciate you reaching out to us. I have checked your account and I can confirm that the Connects has just been awarded back to your account today. For the other interviews for the month of March, Connects has also been rewarded back to her account and you can validate these by going to Reports> Connect history.

Hi Saifullah,

 

Thank you for your message. I see that you have already received free Connects for winning an interview today. Please note that it may take 24-48 hours for the free Connects to be credited to your Upwork account after you respond to the client's interview message. 

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi there, How you doing. Hope all well. I'm Arshad and I'm a full time freelance graphic designer in this platform. I really enjoy working here. Yesterday I received an invitation from a client regarding a social media graphic and recently I'm working on it. I had an issue on my connects. Previously when I get an invitation I earned 10 connects as a reward. Today I didn't received new 10 connects related to the new invitation. I was waiting to apply for some saved jobs and now I feel bit disappoint. Could you please help me out to get my connects. Really appreciate your support. Looking forward to here from you soon.
