Promo code is nothing. Just buy connect and apply. Wish you very successful freelancing career.

Just ignore the promo code field. Leave it blank.

re: "wanna understand how we can get it"

Promo codes may be provided as part of special promotional events.

For example, a party that you were not invited to.

How to get promo code?

I'm just kidding. This thread is hilarious.

I do agree though that charging the unemployed for connects on top of the 20% fee is a bit ridiculous. The previous model with 60 free connects per month was much more viable for freelancers and also more rewarding for Upwork. More job contracts = more 20% fees for you guys.

Paywalling it leads to less jobs for those who need them the most. The ones who were already doing fine will be unaffected. The ones who will pay for connects are those who are desperate. Is milking the poor really what you guys wanna do?
