As long as the owner of the billing method authorized you to use it, you should be able to add it to your account and purchase connects using it. If any issues arise, the Upwork team will notify you directly.

It keeps throwing an error on the billing month and year which is correct. Seems to be broken. Don't want to use a cc.

Need help. I can't buy connects. It keeps on saying payment could not be processed though my visa debit card has funds in it. I received a text saying to change my spending limit to 250,000 php. Why should there be a need to change that much of a spending limit when all I'm trying to purchase is about 150 php. That's a huge difference.
