Hi Aneetha,

If your trying to upgrade on our Plus membership plan you will need to add a billing method that we can charge you for the monthly fee.

Hi Waqas,

 

In order for our team to be able to verify your payment method, your Upwork name needs to match your account name. Please keep in mind that your Upwork name needs to be your full legal name as well. To learn more about our accepted payment methods and how to add one check out this Guide. Thank you.

Hello Bojan,

I am starting an agency, Currently I am trying to pay for the agency fee. But my billing method is being declined. I contacted my bank they said also there was no problem on my account. I am also using my account to get buy connects here with no problem. And it is already added as a billing method.

Hi Caleb,

 

I'd like to clarify that some card-issuing banks will restrict the use of debit cards on Upwork due to the payments being classified as 'recurring'. Please, make sure that you are filling all the required fields correctly and that your card-issuing bank allows recurring transactions. Alternatively, you may use any other of the available billing methods.

I have tried everything but unable to upgrade my membership. I am an old user and now wanted to resume again. Added the payment method, aligned name as well but still seeing this error. Unable to create the ticket as well as can only see My Requests and not an option to create new.

Kindly help me resolve this asap. No option to talk/chat to customer support as there is one weired bot chat that I can see.

 

Looking forward. 
Thanks

Hi Mohsin,

 

It looks like the charge on your card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
