Facing Issue in Buying Connects

[4fc1b224]

Hi, 

I have been trying to buy connects and have tried different payment methods but seems nothing is working.

I don't see a way to directly connect with the support team.

Please help..!

Hi Noor,

It looks like the charge on your card keeps getting declined. Please try again later and if the issue persists, contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

After a month break I returned to Upwork, I was trying to buy some connects however the system declined my payment and asked me to either change the method of payment or contact the issuing bank. I contacted my bank, however as per my bank there is no problem from their side. 

Kindly can some one brief me as to why I can not make a purchase? I tried deleting my card, and enter it again, but now I can not even input my card details, as Upwork keeps rejecting it.

Hello. It says "Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later" when I'm trying to buy connects. I already have a billing method set up and have bought connects previously but now I'm unable to buy connects or change membership plan. My card is allowed to make international transactions and my card name also aligns with the profile name.Can anyone help me with this issue please?

It's been 5 days since I am trying to buy connects, but I cannot buy it. I have a visa card, my tax information is also verified. I tried to buy connects and membership through PayPal but I am getting the below message after I complete all steps.

I am also getting messages from my bank, and OTP for the transaction, even after entering the OTP, I only get the popup shown in the image, and the amount is not deducted from my bank account.

Without connects, I cannot bid and my account is now private. 

I already cleared my cache files and cookies and tried 3 different browsers.

I am unable to buy connects. I checked with my bank and they said every type of transaction is enabled. 

I used VISA and MASTERCARD of 2 different banks, yet I am unable to buy connects.

I also used one virtual VISA card, but it's not working. My PayPal is also not working. I don't know how I can buy connects and membership.

Please Help me!!

Hi there,

I am unable to buy connects and membership. I checked with my bank and they said every type of transaction is enabled including international transactions.

I used VISA and MASTERCARD of 2 different banks, yet I am unable to buy connects. While adding my card 1$ is deducted but after that, I can not buy.

I also used one virtual VISA card, but it's not working. My PayPal is also not working. I don't know how I can buy connects and membership.

One moderator told me that I will get a mail from upwork, but I didn't get any, My profile keeps going private because I cannot bid.

Please Help me!!

I want to buy connects using my debit card but when I put all of my details and click on the Save button. I faced an Error "You caid is not authorized Kindly used another card or Contact your bank" I try almost 3 debit cards and also contact my Bank Support. They said, Everything is working well and I can't face this type of issue by using different platforms.
Kindly resolve me this issue.

We are trying to purchase connects over upwork but getting error like "Charge Failed". I checked the card balance and there is a balance in my card.

[andregutierrez22]

Hi Harjot,

I checked but don't see any billing methods on your account. It looks like you're referring to the Agency Owner trying to purchase Connects since they are the ones that can do that for the Agency. Since we can't discuss details of their account with you because of privacy reasons, please advise them to reach out to support directly so they can assist. A quick way to contact support is by clicking the question mark icon that shows at the bottom right corner of this page.

What I can say is that, in general, this happens when the transactions you’re attempting on your card keep being declined by the bank. In that case, you'll need to contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
