Hello,

I was trying to buy connects and tried to pay by my VISA credit card but receiving "We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank." this message all the time. I have communicated with my bank and they said upwork is requesting to debit $0 and that is why my request is declining. Do not know what to do? Plz help.

Hi MD, 

 

I checked your account and can confirm that your MasterCard declined this transaction. Please contact your bank to resolve this directly with them. 

In the meantime, please add an alternative billing method to be able to purchase Connects on Upwork.
