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 Chanaka,
Since you have received a direct offer you're not eligible for the bonus of 10 Connects. Here’s how it works:
1. Submit a proposal to a job
2. Receive a request from a client to interview
3. Respond, connect, and earn a bonus of 10 Connects!

Haven't received the 10 connects for two job proposals as well yet.

Hi Preeti,
I checked and it seems that you already created a support ticket for the issue you are experiencing with receiving free Connects. Please allow more time for our team to review your case and respond accordingly to your ticket. You will be notified of their response.

Hi, thanks for your response- I have received the connects for the recent job invite responses now.

Hello sir,
I am also not getting free connects. I sometimes bid on Jobs that has 6 connect requirement.
Earlier when I used to bid, Upwork used to support.
Can you please check with my account, what is wrong with this.

Hi, Goran, kindly, check my invitation interview, i am not getting free connects? As, I have responded may be 10-15, recently, but only got 20-30... I don't get why it is happening only to my account, I am not getting these connects as upwork told us...

Hi Haseeb,
I looked into this, and I can see that you mainly were invited to send proposals for jobs. We are not awarding Connects in cases where you are invited to interview for a job post without submitting a proposal first.
To earn free Connects for winning an interview, here is how it works:
1. Submit a proposal for a job
2. Receive an invitation to interview from a client
3. Respond, connect, and earn a bonus of 10 Connects!
You should send a proposal first, receive an invite, and Connect with the client. Otherwise, Connects will not be issued if you were directly invited. You may read more about it here.

Recently, I was invited for interview which I responded but I was not awarded any connects.

Hi Francis,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like you already received Connects for your last interview with the client. You can find more information on your Connects History page.
If you are referring to a different proposal please click on my name and send me a PM with more information. I will be sure to look into your report and assist you accordingly.

I have about 15 invitations to interview in the past year or so which I did accept and actually started conversations with clients but I did not receive my connects, can you please check.

Hi Mauricio,
I checked your account, and I can see that you mainly were invited to jobs. Please note that for you to be awarded interview Connects, the first step is to apply for a job post. If you are invited to apply to a client's job post, you will not be awarded interview Connects.
To win Connects, the following should happen:
Also, you can only win 50 Connects in the past seven days. If you've already won 50 Connects, you will not be awarded Connects. You will read more about it here.

I got three interviews on my agency account and I didn't receive any free connects within 24 hours? Any specific reason why?
Jan 29, 2022 04:38:14 PM by Nikola S
Hi Sara,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked with our team and it looks like you should allow more time to pass. Please allow 48 hours to pass and let us know if your free Connects are still not reflected on your account and we will assist you further.

Hi,
2 Days ago I have reponded to an invitation. But still I didn't get rewarded free connects for responding interviews. Could you please see the issue.
Jul 14, 2021 03:22:17 AM by Pradeep H
Hello Neamat,
Free Connects are available only on Jobs where the Freelancer submits a proposal, wins an interview on their proposal and responds to the interview. It is not applicable to jobs where the Client invites Freelancer to apply to jobs. You can check this Help page for more information.
Thank you.
Pradeep.

Hi Muhammad,
Could you please reach out to me via PM (click on my name) and share the job post titles or URLs with me so that I can check this further? Thank you.
