Hi Lezlie,

When a client adds a credit card as a billing method, they need to verify it by entering 2 verification amounts they were charged into a verification form. The verification amounts are refundable. It looks like you have already verified your card and the refund of the amounts is being processed.

Thank you.

Okay so I’ll be receiving the refund????

Correct, Lezlie, the verification amounts that in sum equal $10 will be refunded to your credit card.

 Of course 🙂 It is refunded straight away 🙂 Read this

Specifically:

Verification Charges

When you add a credit card, you may need to verify your card via 2 small charges:

• Upwork submits two charges that equal a total of $10
• It can take up to five days for the two charges to show up on your credit card account

Important: Entering the wrong amounts three times will place your card on hold until you complete verification with the support team.

If your credit card statement is presented in a currency different from US Dollars, we have added the USD amounts in the description of the verification charges. Please refer to the above graphic and the USD charge amounts will appear in the description: x.xx- x.xx.  Enter the USD amounts rather than local currency amounts to verify your card.

Note: If you are required to complete credit card verification, you must verify your card within seven days. Otherwise any contracts in progress will be paused until you complete verification.
