Thank you for your response.  I have a billing method that is valid and authorized by Upwork.

 

The thing I want to know is if I can use this same billing method ( MasterCard) for two active Upwork accounts in order to purchase connects. Please let me know about it. Thank you.

Hi there,
I hope you are doing well. I have a question in mind that needs to be cleared. My question is about the billing card. Me and one of my family members use Upwork as a freelancer. But we have only one MasterCard that can pay in USD. Would there have any issues if we both use the same MasterCard to pay our membership bill for the different freelancer account?

 

I would be very glad if someone gives the answer. Thanks. StaySafe.

 

Warm regards,
Md Shariful Islam

Hi Md Shariful,

Hi Najam, 

I can confirm that the bank declined this transaction. Kindly check this directly with your issuing bank for more information on why the transaction was declined. In the meantime, please add an alternative billing method to your account to be able to purchase Connects.

Good Day, I want to apply my PayPal account for buying connects and I do not have any credit card available. When I tried to choose Paypal as the method, it will ask me to provide credit card information. Thank Youpaypalreport.jpg 

Hi Kieman,

 

This will depend on your location but all freelancers can purchase connects with a credit card or a prepaid card. To learn more about accepted Billing methods and how to add one, check out this Help Article. Thank you.

Thank You for the quick response, I can access PayPal as the method for my billing but when I choose Paypal as the method for billing it will send me here, "see attached photo". I do not have any credit cards or prepaid cards. I only have a Paypal account with my savings on it. I really wanted to buy "connects" please help me. Thank You

Hi Kieman,

 

In order to be able to add a PayPal account as a billing method, you will need to have a verified PayPal account. Please refer to the guide I shared in my previous post about how to add a billing method. Thank you.
