Not receiving connects as a new account

Hi there! I created an Upwork account on July 10th, 2024, and I haven't received any connects since then. I have checked my Connects History and there's still nothing. I would be so grateful if you could help me with this issue. Thank you!

Hi all,

 

Upwork currently requires new freelancers to do one of two things before being able to submit a proposal for a job: subscribe to our Freelancer Plus membership plan for $19.99 USD a month, or purchase Connects. After you fulfill this requirement you will also receive 50 free Connects to further help you get started on Upwork.

I hadn't recieved no connects on my new upwork account, nor the 10 monthly connects. My account is verified and I have also completed filling my accounts details and linking it with other accounts too!

I have the basic freelancer plan.

Sorry to hear that you haven't received connects on your new Upwork account. Check your account type and email verification. If issues persist, contact Upwork Support directly for assistance. They'll help resolve the issue. Good luck!

I have a freelancer basic account. However, I haven't received the new membership connects or the 10 free which you're supposed to get at the start of each billing cycle. Kindly let me know what issue there is. Thank you.

Hey! I have also created an account almost 3 weeks ago but didn't receive any free connects. I have already completed my profile but seems like UpWork updated their policies to provide the connects. Is there any such update you heard in a while?

Are you joking? We're here to earn money. How do you expect us to give money if we can't earn it first?!
