Hello Imamsab,

I just checked your account and I saw that you don't have enough balance in your account to buy more connects. You will need to add a billing method in order to buy more connects if your balance is not enough. Thank you.

I did that but card is not getting charged. I called my bank and they say card is active

Hi Jain,

I checked and it looks like the decline error was from your issuing bank. You may need to reach out to them so they can check this for you. You can also add a different billing method instead. 

[dani_jeffery]

I am facing same issue, Cannot buy connect because payment cannot be processed. My Card is running every where else but here.

[LuiggiR]

Hi Dani, 

Thanks for reaching out. It looks like it could be a problem with your bank allowing the transaction on our end. You may want to contact your bank and ask them about the specific charge decline or use a different card. Alternatively, you can use any of our other available billing methods. If they confirm everything is fine on their end, please let us know so we may assist you further.

Thank you.

Hi Muhammad,

I checked and it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding. Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

[tayybaali]

Hi!

I am facing this same issue. I want to upgrade membership but my visa debit card is not processing. giving this same error.

[BojanS]

Hi Syeda,

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.

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

Thank you!

[jean_odesk]

I am also facing the same issue, I added my Visa debit card to be able to buy connects but the purchase was not successful.

Also, I tried to add my PayPal account in the billing method, never gets completed because at the later part of the process it is asking for a card number, but a PayPal account only has an Email address, no card at all. Can somebody please help me so I can buy additional connects.

[AleksandarD]

Hi Virginia,

For the issues you are having with your debit card, you need to check with your bank for more information on why the specific charge was declined.

In order to use Paypal as a billing method on Upwork, your Paypal account must have a linked credit or debit card for recurring payments (for example, for membership fees). For cases like this, a funding source is required to add Paypal as a billing method. 

In the meantime, you can add an alternate billing method on this page and learn more about acceptable billing methods.

Additionally, please note that your profile must represent you as an individual and that all the information in your profile including your profile photo needs to be accurate, truthful, and verifiable. Please check this help article for more information on how to update your profile photo.

Thank you.

[jean_odesk]

I tried to buy connects again, but I'm getting the same response "Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later.". I would really appreciate if somebody  can help me on this. Thanks.

[LuiggiR]

Hi Virginia,

As Aleksandar mentioned earlier, you may need to check with your bank for more information on why the specific charge was declined. If you've done this and they confirm everything is ok on their end, please feel free to reach us out again so we can assist you further.

Thank you.
