Hi!
I got interviewed around 36 hours ago for 2 PROPOSALS that I submitted. (Did not work with these clients before), but I only received 10 connects. Can you please check?
Also If I get invitation from clients who I never worked with, do I get connects?
Thanks
Hadi

Hi Andrea, thank you for the article it cleared up my misunderstanding. I was under the impression that we got free connects on an invite from the client.
Thank you and have agood day! 🙂

I recently got two interview offers from the clients and I have responded to both. I assume I should be able to recieve free connects upto 50, 10 for each interview won in a week right? I don't understand why I haven't yet received them. Can you please look into this? Thanks.

You do not receive Connects for direct invitation from clients. Only for proposals you sent, when the client replies and you reply back.

You only get free connects if a client responds to your proposal.
Apr 23, 2022 08:52:27 AM by David O
Yea I'm asking if I send a proposal to 2 different jobs from the same clients and he responds on both, do I get 20 connects?
Apr 23, 2022 04:34:15 PM by John K
Yes, you will then get 20 connects! The more the merrier. 😉

In the last 3 interviews I have had in the last month I have not received any conects. Why does this happen?
Apr 24, 2022 02:42:09 PM by Luiggi R
Hi Ana,
I can see that for one of the jobs you're referring to, the interview happened today, kindly allow up to 24 hours for the Connects to be awarded. For the other jobs you're referring to, note that Connects aren't awarded in cases where a client sends you a direct offer or invites you to apply to their job post. Feel free to check out this help article to learn more.

I have not been receiving connects after accepting interview requests
Apr 25, 2022 08:31:09 AM by Andrea G
Hi Francis,
In order to receive Connects for an interview you need to:
Submit a proposal to a job.
Win an interview from a client.
Respond and win a bonus!
Note: Direct offers and invitations from clients won’t receive a Connects credit. If the job post you're referring to meets these guidelines and it's been more than 24 hours, please let me know which one it is so I could check this for you.
Apr 28, 2022 01:11:20 AM by Dagnachew B
I meet all guidelines to receive connect and it's been more than 24 hours. please check it.

Thank you for your message. I will have our support team contact you for further assistance.

I have applied for & awarded a project recetely, i successfully completed. but still not refund connects
Apr 26, 2022 10:57:13 PM by Martina P
Why do you expect to get connects back when you win a contract?
This would make the concept of connects futile.
Apr 26, 2022 11:41:48 PM by Nirmal S
You will get free connects, only when you submit a proposal and win an interview (up to 50 Connects every seven days).
Apr 27, 2022 02:46:45 PM by Md Helal U
I was waiting to get my bonus connects for responding to an invitation. But there was no bonus 😞
May 1, 2022 11:34:13 AM by Max K
Hi there,
All the time I'm winning jobs, getting responses from proposals, and responding to invitations. As I'm reading the forum, I didn't know you're supposed to earn connects from these actions. I haven't got connect rewards in months. Can you please check my activity and add whatever is fair? Maybe it's 10, maybe it's 70, not sure. upwork.com/freelancers/~011c7a0ca0620c4c40 I'm not receiving any connect rewards which is very unfair for a successful freelancer.
May 1, 2022 01:11:04 PM by Luiggi R
Hi Max,
I'd like to clarify that Connects are only awarded in cases where you submitted a proposal to a client and interviewed with that client thereafter. Connects aren't awarded in cases where you are invited to interview for a job post without submitting a proposal first, or when a client sends you a direct offer.
You can see the Connects that you've received by going to Settings > Membership & Connects and clicking on "View Connects History". From there, you can filter to view credited Connects only, to view the Connects that have been added to your account for up to the last 90 days. Feel free to check out this help article to learn more.

Hi Rahul,
Please know, direct offers are not eligible for free Connects.
