Issues with Connects for job applications, and purchased Connects

[ArjayM]

Valued members,

We appreciate you reaching out and bringing this to our attention. We have identified issues related to Connects: 

• Some users get the notification "You don't have enough Connects to submit this proposal," but there are Connects in the account
  
• Some users get this notification when submitting proposals to jobs: 
  

Purchased Connects is not reflected in some users' accounts after purchase. Loading the Membership & Connects page reflects this error "Failed to load the current subsription details. Please try again. If the issue persists please contact Customer Support."

I recommend to all raise your voice related to these types of **bleep**ty updates. Rather than new freelancers are more difficult to survive here...  And I think that is too much in the future no one will join and start a career as a freelancer on Upwork!! Time to raise your voice if want to stay stable in freelancing!! Thanks!!

I had the same problem yesterday, but after a while it started working. You can also submit a help case to the support team; if the problem is on their end, they might be able to fix it or they might inform you of the precise problem with the card data.
