Not receiving connects as a new account

[#1]

Hello, Everyone!

A friend suggested I create an upwork account to Jumpstart my freelancing career. He mentioned that I should have free connectes upon joining for me to bid on contracts. After completing my account, I have 0 connect credits. Is there anything else I need to do?

Hi Keylan,

I am stepping in for Pradeep. To clarify, Upwork currently requires new freelancers to do one of two things before they can 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 help you get started on Upwork.

It's been 48 hours and more, I still haven't received my free connect. Balance connect history is 0. I need help. Thanks.

I think you need to purchase a bundle first before you receive the free connects. Following for info

I recently joined Upwork and currently have a basic account, which I understand should provide 100 free connects each month. However, I have not received any connects in my account, and as a result, I am unable to apply for jobs. Could you please help me resolve this issue?

[#12]

You understand incorrectly. You need to spend at least $15 on connects and then you'll get 50 free connects as a one-time bonus. The free connects are only enough to bid on 4-6 projects, then you'll need to buy more.

Thanks mam's

Hi there! My name is Shubham, and I’m a 3D artist. I’m new to Upwork, and I have some questions about the connects system. I read that to get free connects, I need to either upgrade to Upwork Plus membership or purchase connects. If I buy 20 connects for $3, will I still receive the 50 free connects afterward?

[#15]

You need to spend at least $15 on connects before getting the free bonus. You'll probably need to buy hundreds of connects anyway.

Hi Upwork Community,

I recently signed up on Upwork, and it's been quite some time, but I still haven't received the first 50 free Connects that were supposed to be included with my account. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

Additionally, could someone assist me in escalating a support ticket for this matter? I would really appreciate any help you can provide!

Thanks!
