I'm in the same position. New to Upwork. I just received the Rising Talent badge, but the connects haven't shown up. I have waited a couple of days, as I read it can take a few days. Anyway. What can I do or who do I contact?

Hello, Upwork
I got rising talent badge today and it says i will get another bonus 60 connects.
But my connects are still 14.
What can I do with this?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks.

Hi Nariman,
Just to clarify the bonus connects that you will receive is 30 connects. Please allow up to 48 hours for your Rising Talent connects to be awarded on your profile. If you don't receive them after 48 hours let us know here, thank you.

Hi Varun,
Before I proceed, could you please confirm when you received the Rising Talent badge? Usually, the connects are automatically credited within 24-hours of receiving the badge. If it has been more than 24-hours, please update this thread so that our team can assist you further.

Thanks Goran and Avery,
Just checked the bonus connects are in my account. Thanks once again. If its not too much trouble could you please let me why when some of the jobs that needed just 1 connect to submit a proposal on submitting 2 connects were take away. This happend twice. Please let me know if you needed more information to investigate this.
Thanks in advance,
Varun

Why is it again that rising talents get free connects?
Is this something a Top-Rated member recieves as well?
I'm not particularly fond of having to pay when users with far less experience on this platform are being boosted up for free.
Sep 30, 2019 08:07:41 AM by Valeria K
Hi Jordon,
Freelancers who were Top Rated when we launched paid Connects in their category, received a one-time bonus of 60 connects.
Sep 30, 2019 08:48:50 AM by Jordon B
That seems completely different than a bonus people recieve for making it to rising talent, something that wasn't even around before I first made Top-Rated status, but not a surprising non-answer.
Again, why do Rising Talent continue to recieve a bonus, yet Top-Rated do not? Why are you giving free connects to less experienced accounts vs accounts that need a proven track record for their status? Seems like it should be the other way around.
Are you not interested in incentivising your proven freelancers to stay here over bringing in new ones?

They are interested in neither. There are way too many freelancers on the platform as it is.
What's the problem anyway? 30 Connects is nothing (especially not for a $ 99 an hour guy!) and you're not top-rated anyway.
It could be argued that once people get to top-rated they likely have more repeat and ongoing clients and need less connects anyway.
Many go for months without using any at all.

I got Rising Talent status about 30 min ago and the badge appears in my profile but I did not receive the one-off 30 connects bonus. How long does it take for me to receive the bonus connects? Do I need to do some extra steps to get the connects?
Nov 21, 2019 03:37:43 AM by Goran V
Hi Shivank,
Please allow up to 48 hours for the connects to be awarded on your profile. If you don't receive them after 48 hours let us know here, thank you.

Hi,
I've been awarded by the Rising Talent badge a few days ago but my account didn't' get the 30 free connects as part of the benefits of getting it.
Do I have to set or do something else to get them?

I recently got the upwork rising talent badge. I still have not got 30 connects as per upwork policy. Is this anyway related to identity verification which I have not done?
