Hi Majida,

 

I would suggest checking with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges or adding another credit card to your PayPal wallet. You can also check out our other available billing methods Here. Thank you.

Hi Sameer,

 

It looks like the charge on your debit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline and confirm if they allow recurring transactions on their debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ’recurring’.

 

Meantime, you can add an alternative billing method in your account payment options.

 

Thank you!

I have non-English letters in my surname on my credit card but when I enter my surname I can't use them. (originally Türkoğlu, in upwork turkoglu). So basically they are no matches. Might that be the issue? I've already talked to my bank authorizer about the problem, and they said there should not be any problem with charging. Can you please guide me about the situation?
thanks 

Hi Lokman,

 

We’ll have one of our agents reach out to you via a support ticket to assist you with this concern. 

 

Thank you for your patience.

Hey there,

Can someone please help me out with buying connects issues. As I've tried more than 9 times now and every time it says this error:
"Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later."
I tried changing payment methods, adding new methods, changing payment cards, and updating them on Paypal as well as on Upwork but none of this works.

 

Please someone assist me with this as this is urgent and important for me and I've 0 connects left in my account.

Best,

Vivek

hi i am having trouble in putting my card details. i have input correct payment card details and google purchase charges are also charged but it keep saying choose another payment way.

Hi Arhama,

 

I checked and it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps failing because the bank is unresponsive. Could you please try again later and let us know if the issue persists?

 

Thanks!

Hello
please help me to solve this problem
Every time I want to pay for connections, the fees are withdrawn from my Visa card but I don't have the connections and I get a message that my request has not been processed, please try another payment method. Thank you
How can I do this?

Hi Mahutin Bertrand,

 

I checked and was only able to find one transaction where you purchased Connects on Feb 23 and the Connects are showing in your Connects History in the last 30 days. Are you referring to any other transaction? If so, please feel free to click on my picture next to this post and send me a private message with more info about the transactions showing on your card statement.

 

Thanks!
