Hi Sandeep,

 

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the trouble while purchasing Connects. In general, this happens when the transactions you’re attempting on your card keep being declined by the bank. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

If you’re still experiencing issues after checking with your bank, a quick way to contact our support team is by clicking the 'Chat with Upwork' button on the Contact Support page.

Hi Sakthivel, 


I checked your account and can confirm that the transaction failed which is why you're not seeing Connects in your account. Please retry the transaction with another billing method to be able to purchase Connects.

Dear friend,

1.Please make sure that the card you are using is suitable
for international payments.

2.Try an alternate payment method.

3. Clear your web browser for cookies and try again.

I hope this will be helpful.

Hii,

I have used all my connects.so i am trying to purchase connects from my VISA card - 10 connects. It sends otp to my number but after that it doesn't deduct money from my card to purchase the connects.

Is it possible to purchase connects paying money from VISA Card??

HI..

 

Iam using a card which was previously (until last month) working fine on upwork for buying connects.... its got funds and authorized from bank side for online session...  when I suddenly started getting failures I removed the card to add it back again... during which I also reconfirmed with the bank but everything was ok from their side...it was active for online sessions and had funds....

Now I am unable to add the same card as billing methods. Getting this message : ""We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank.""

Its on my name and like I said it worked fine earlier but now I am unable to re-add it as billing method. Tried my other bank card which was good to go but still not acceptable. Please help !!

Hello Upworkers, Can I use my friend's Payoneer card to buy connects? Since I am new to upwork and neither I have upwork balance nor I have any Payoneer card. Will it be consider as violation of upwork terms and policies for using same payoneer card in two accounts?

The payment will be declined if the card is not in your name. You need to have your own payment method.

Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later."
