Hello Upwork Community, I'm new to Upwork. 

I've sent my free connects to client's job postings. Now I'd love to upgrade my membership to Plus. But I can't able to add my card details. I have a Mastercard(Debit) and also have PayPal. I tried 2 different ways to add my billing method. But no one works. Please let me know your thoughts to clear this issue. Is Credit card mandatory to add billing methods?

Hello Mate,

 

Please contact Upwork team so they can charge from your card and verify it.

 

If the charge gets declined, please double-check this with your bank so that we can verify your bank account. Thank you!

Hi Manoj, 

 

It looks like your bank has rejected the transaction on your account. Kindly check with your bank why the transaction was rejected, and in the meantime, use another billing method to be able to purchase Connects on Upwork.

Hello, I was looking to purchase the connects bidding purpose. But error was coming that "Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later".

Then i message about this problem at this platform.

I received the email fromZendesk that the problem is from the bank and Bank is declining the payment request.

 

I have thorougly check with my Bank and they are informing me that i am entering the wrong 3 digit security code that is the reason the payment is declining.

 

But i have rechecked and entered the right security code many times but same eroor is coming.

 

May be website is fetching the wrong 3 digit security code that is the reason the bank is declining the payment.

 

Therefore, Upwork is kindly requested to check the system and solve this issue so i may purchase the Connects and starting bids.

 

Waiting for your kind reply.

Hi, I wondering if upwork offers any kind of email or chat support? I'm having issue with my credit card?

Hi Wasim, 


Were you trying to add your credit card to be able to purchase connects for your account? I looked into this further and can see that your bank declined the transaction. Please get in touch with your local bank for more information on why the transaction from Upwork was declined. In the meantime, please add an alternative billing method to be able to purchase connects on Upwork.

Hello Community!

I am trying to buy connects but I am getting "Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later." repeatedly. I already tried with multiple cards VISA,Master, etc. Is there anything special needed for Indian cards?

 

I also tried with paypal but it also gives me same error with "charge failed".

 

Please let me know if you need any further info.

Thank you,
