Hello,I am 2 days old in upwork and I am longing to start working..After creating an account I was told that i will receive 50 free connects which i havent received.....and when i try to buy the connects i told to give my promo code...how do i get it?is it possible to buy connects without promo codes

 

Sure, you can buy without code. Leave it empty.

Noone saw promocodes here.

Your 50 will be assigned in any case.

Regarding the promo code field, you can buy Connects without entering one. We don't have any discount codes or promos available at the moment. Upwork periodically sends offers via email, at events, and through partnerships. To ensure you get the marketing emails, please ensure you've opted in to receive marketing emails in your notification settings. If you set up your notifications settings and don't get any marketing emails, please get in touch with the Upwork Support Team through this page.
