Promo Code, connects to buy, free connects

Good morning dear freelancers,

 

 

Since the may 28th, I am waiting for my 60 connects, as usual, but nothing yet, So impossible to submit proposal; as a Top Rated freelancer with 5 years on Upwork, all I wish is an explanation...They said that I should buy the connects, but When I want to do so, they ask me PROMO CODE which is given my email only, as they said, I wonder with this? What is the logic in this PROMO Code? Why other freelancer have still have their connects freely and not me? Why other can have a Promo Code and not me?

Thanks

Does it reduce the total cost? Then how I can get one?

re: "Does it reduce the total cost? Then how I can get one?"

 

Syed:

Just leave the promo code blank.

You can not ask for a promo code.

Codes are provided as part of specific promotional events. They are not something that we ask for or look for.

Hello Preston!

Do you work for UPwork Preston!? Lets think about this scenario where I go to a promotional event and I get a promo code.....Is there a policy with Upwork that I cannot share my promotional code I received? Kindly looking for your response! Happy Life!

 

re: "Do you work for Upwork?"

 

No.

You can discern which Forum participants actually work for Upwork by the presence of the Upwork logo next to their name. The rest of us are simply Upwork users.

 

re: "Let' think about this scenario where I go to a promotional event and I get a promo code. Is there a policy with Upwork that I cannot share my promotional code I received?"

 

You can not share your promotional code with somebody else. If you are provided with a promotional code, it is only for your use.

Thanks Preston for your response! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I read your response and I have more questions :). Kindly awaiting your response!

 

Re: "You can not share your promotional code with somebody else. If you are provided with a promotional code, it is only for your use."

 

My Questions are as follows:

So you mean to say each user gets Unique promotional Code?

Have you been any promotional events?

 

Did any of the Upwork staff member shared their policy that promotional codes should not be shared and it will not work if multiple users use the same promotional code?

 

Since you do not work for upwork, How do you know this information? Did any of the upwork staff member shared this information to you at the event? If yes, Could you please share that person who shared you this upwork policy?

 

 

Re " I know a man who shared his promo code."  That man became cursed."

His children were all born with a frowny face birthmark on their left thigh. And they were never able to find true love. They married into loveless marriages, and passed this curse down to their children for seven generations."

 

My Question to your Preston: You Love Ficional Stories ? Now let me share my fictional story :)...I know a human who shared his promo code with pure intentions to help other people....He Lived Life Joyfully, Peacefully and Pleasantly! Sharing is Caring! Happy Life! 

 

So finally no one knows the Truth!? Can any Upwork staff member give clarity to this question! Patiently awaiting response from a responsible Upwork Staff member to explain promotional code policies set by upwork. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ram, 


Upwork events are exclusive for Rising Talent, and Top Rated users only. For some of these events, Upwork hosts give out promo codes for the attendees. These promo codes are for the exclusive use of the users who have attended the event and are given out as a perk. As such, please refrain from sharing these promo codes because this makes this unfair for other users.

I have been a TOP Rated freelancer from a long time, and spending a good amount buying connect every month but never received any promo code so far, does it really exists? or its just to tease people?

Sarpreet, leave the promo code field blank.

 

Codes are provided as a part of promotional events. They have nothing to do with top rated status.

I always get an error message when I try to buy connects, it's saying the payment method is not valid and I should try something else, I've used the card to purchase before but I can't use it now, please help me 

Hi Ogbonnaya,

 

I can see that you already have an open ticket regarding this issue. One of our agents will update your ticket and assist you further.

syed,

u just get minmum 10 connects 

 

Hello ma'am. I saw your response to the promo code but while I try to ignore the promo code and go straight to buy connect, it still refers me back to fill the promo code field space. Hence it's not still working.

Please I need to buy connect ASAP how else can I do this

 

Hi Ikechukwu,

 

Could you please try to use a different browser or clear your cache and cookies? If the issue persists, please let us know. Thank you!

Hi Ihsan,

 

To purchase additional Connects:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Select Memberships & Connects
  3. Click Add More Connects

Once you’ve selected the bundle you wish to purchase, click ''Add Connects'' and your account will be automatically charged. 

 

Thank you!

Is is compulsory to buy connects? And what is promo code?

re: "Is is compulsory to buy connects?"

 

No.

Nobody anywhere in the world is required to buy connects.

However, if you are an Upwork freelancer, you may find it beneficial to buy connects. Without connects, you can not send proposals to job postings. If you are receving enough invites from clients, then you don't need to send proposals. But if you are not receiving invites, you may want to send proposals, thus you may want to buy connects.

 

re: "And what is promo code?"

 

A promo code is something that you don't have. If you see a "promo code" field, leave it blank.

 

For the record, promo codes are given to Upwork users as part of special promotional events and other activies that you have not participated in.

Understand ....

how to find promo code Upwork.

re: "how to find promo code Upwork."

 

Md Shakhawat: You do not have a promo code and you will not receive a promo code.

Leave that field blank.

how to find promo code upwork? Please give me promo code sir.

Emon, leave the promo code field bank.

What is promo code?

Mst.Asiya khatun

Hi Asiya,

 

Thank you for Promo codes are used to get a discount when purchasing Connects. Offers are sent periodically by Upwork via email, at events, and through partnerships. Unfortunately, we don't have any discount codes or promos available at the moment.

Hi Brijesh, 


Only profile registrations that were approved will have the opportunity to start sending out proposals to jobs in the Upwork marketplace. 

 

I would recommend that you check out these articles from our Hiring Headquarters to help you create proposals that win jobs, and help you boost your career on Upwork: 

Hopefully, this helps you with your Upwork career. Good luck!

Hi Petra,

I hope you're doing good. I was one of the top freelancers a few years back and joining UW while it was still odesk, before the merger with elance. I had to take a sabbatical from UW due to my full-time job.
As you know a pandemic has hit and it's going to be tough times ahead.
Thus I want to restart my profile on UW can you please mail me a promo code so that I can buy some connects and restart my UW journey once again.
