I was trying to buy some Connects on the other day. But the page keeps saying 'Payment failed. try other methods..'. The card details with me is the correct one, and the bank has no restrictions too (I asked them). Can you help me ?

Hi,

I want to buy connects. I am trying to add visa card as billing method. I saw following error :

We are unable to authorize your card.Please use another method or contact your issuing bank.

I contacted with my bank and use same card on other websites. My bank resolved my issue.

Firstly, upwork transact money from bank but did not gave any connect , then they return money to my bank. Now I am trying to buy connects but upwork says use another payment method.

Now upwork also says we are unable to authorize your card.Please use another method or contact your issuing bank.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue so I can buy connects to do work.

Thanks,

Regards,

Muhammad Awais

Free connects went away months ago and you created your account in October not last month so you have never had free connects.

Hi,

 

I have tried to add payment method but card not accepted

Your card has been declined by your card issuer as an invalid transaction. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank.

I think your account is closed to abroad transactions. You can get further information, as mentioned, by contacting the call center of your bank.
