Rising Talent Connect Bonus

Hello,

I am relatively new to Upwork. Recently, I was notified about the rising talent acceptance. My question is does the 30 connects bonus occur when the new monthly connect period begins or right after I receive rising talent? If it happens immediately and I receive them, say, two days prior to my new monthly period starting, do any unused bonus connects roll over or disappear? Thank you!

Hi Megan, 

 

The bonus connects are awarded within 24-48 hours from the time you receive the Rising Talent badge. Any unused bonus connects will roll over. For more information, please check this announcement. Thank you!

Hi, I just got the Rising Talent Badge and got this notification saying I will get 30 free connects bonus.

 

However, I can't see the bonus connects in my account.

Hi Apeal,

 

Please allow up to 48 hours for the connects to be awarded on your profile. Thank you.

I recently became a Rising Talent, and I get 60 free connects. Are that connect one-time bonus or it will be added each month?
Thanks in advance, Marko.

I haven't received 30 connects when i received my rising talent badge and it was more then 48h.

Upwork "get help" icon is not working so I have to reach to somebody from customer support this way.

Looking forward to your resolution of this.

Thank you Goran for your help.

Hi Goran,
I have the same problem as well. I’ve received an email about the “Rising Talent" badge (three days ago), but didn’t get 30 free Connects yet!

What should I do?
Thank you,
Urtina
