This error always pops up. Please help
We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank.

Hi Dongarsane,
There are three billing methods available to freelancers, Credit or Debit Card, PayPal, or Upwork Balance. You can read more about this here. You may want to talk to PayPal about what type of payment method can be added to your PayPal wallet.
Thank you,

Can someone use two different freelancer account from the same IP address? Actually, all of my "connects" finished & I didn't realize too much. Since I am new to Upwork, that's why I don't know about this. I want to buy "connects" using my friend's Payoneer Master Card. So is it possible to do it? At the of buying "connects" my friend's Upwork account and my Upwork account will show at the same IP address. For my concern, please let me know that is it breaks UpWorks any rules? Or would we get banned from Upwork? Please let me know this as soon as possible, and I am worried about this.

People in the same household can both have Upwork accounts. I am unsuring of using someone else's card to purchase connects. I think a moderator needs to weigh in on that. But theoretically, two people can have accounts in the same household, and as long as they have distinct accounts with distinct log-ins and profiles then you would not get banned for that alone. If you are sharing an account, or sharing your account information, yes, you may get banned.
I hope a mod comes along to answer the question of the payoneer card.

I hope I will get the best solution from mod and thanks for your reply.

Hi MD Shahareaj,
While it is not a problem to share the same IP address with more users it's a serious violation of Upwork TOS to share your login credentials with anybody and log into other users' accounts.
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 use for purchasing connects. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly.

Btw I just forgot to ask you a question, Can I buy connects using Eastern Bank Limited's "AQUA Card"? This a dual currency Bangladeshi Card and have USD and BDT both parts.

I am from India and have a SBI master card with the active international transactions. I want to buy Connects but all time I get failed. Please resolve this issue.
I have entered all the correct information and have enough balance in my bank account. Also, I had visited the bank to talk about it but they said everything is fine on their side.
