It happened with me and with my husband also. Here is one solution i found for this:
Attach your card with paypal and then try to buy membership with paypal.
I'm sure this will work for you as well. Thanks

Hi, I tried to buy more connects but it's bringing up an error saying my card doesn't have enough digits AND the expiry dates are 'required' when I've already type them in.
Please advise. Thanks

Upwork is declining my card even though its working on all other websites including App store. I tried generating a ticket but I was told that there is some issue with my bank. I confirmed from my bank but there is no issue at their end. As my card is working perfectly fine for all other transactions online. When ever I try to pay with my card the account gets suspended and a financial restriction is imposed. Kindly help me in this regard. I need to upgade to Plus membership to get more connects. Thank you

Hello, good day!
I want to buy some connects to continue my freelance service here and find a job, but when I purchase like "10 connects for $1.50", there is a pop-up message says that,
"Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later."
I was able to receive client payment but I can't use my card for payment to buy connects.
And when I click
"choose an alternate payment method"
and put my visa card and update it, it says
" Your Visa ending in **** has been saved successfully."
And then when I go back and buy connects it tells again
" Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later."
What is happening here?
Please fix this for me or clarify to me what is happening? Please I need to buy connects.
I really need a job. I have 1 connects left.. 😞
I hope you can help me. Thank you!

Just to confirm, is your account enabled for international charges? If you`re not sure, please check with your bank. Thank you.

Hi Guys,
I'm Akash and I am new Freelancer on Upwork. I have recently won a contract and just wanted to get more.
For doing that I must have to submit proposal and doing so I tried to purchase connects from debit card (indian bank which is globally known named as well) but it is getting failed again and again.
Your bank was unable to verify your information. Please contact them and try again. After OTP and all information added.
Later I have created a Paypal account to add as a billing method but still it is not processing.
Charge Failed When using that method.
My paypal account was new and to make sure that I use a old one, I tried my brothers account to make payment but again it is showing while purchasing the connect "Charge Failed". However adding was not an issue it is accepting it but making payment is.
Let me know what is going wrong with this, do I have to perform some additional steps or may be it is because something with free and premium membership has to do.
Really appreciate your help!
Thanks

Hi Akash,
