Not receiving connects as a new account

[#1]

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 Tanya,

As a new freelancer on Upwork, you need to do one of two things before being able to submit a proposal for a job: subscribe to our Freelancer Plus membership plan for $20 USD a month, or purchase 100 Connects for $15 USD. After you fulfill this requirement you will also receive 50 free Connects to further help you get started on Upwork.

Hey there,

I recently signed up for Upwork to offer my services in browser extension development. It's been about 3 or 4 days, but I haven't received any connects in my account yet. Could you please assist me with this?

Thank you.

Hey, I did not get the free 30 connects I was supposed to get after 48 hours of registration nor did I get the 10 monthly free connects. My connect history shows no transaction and the balance shows 0 balance. Can anyone help me with this?

Hello,

May I please ask for help to confirm what else is needed on my account to start and get the free connects per month?
Thank you

I read that you'd receive 50 free Connects within 48h after signing up, but my balance is still on zero. Are there any requirements that I might have missed? Would appreciate some help.
