Hi There,
I wanted to upgrade my "Freelancer Plus". But currently, I don't have any any
Credit or Debit Card. Can I use my friend's card to upgrade my membership plan?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Ishtiaque and Anand,
Ishtiaque, 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 it to purchase Membership plus. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly.

If you are from US, you can use your bank account to buy the connects.
If not, you cannot buy the connects using your bank account, instead you can use credit / debit card. Make sure it is enabled to do online / international transaction.
