When attempting to purchase Connects, an error message appears stating, 'Sorry, we couldn't charge the billing method you selected. Please try a different one. If you still need help, contact customer support.' I have the amount on my profile but still shows this message.

Hi Enamul,

Please know that you do need to have a valid Billing Method on file in order to be able to purchase Connects. Even if the funds will be taken from your available balance.

Hi Andrea,

Here my billing method is valid because I'm using my profile balance. But this not working I'm facing this issue again & again. I've attached a screenshot also.

hi i was new frelancer on upwork and i cant connect to a client it says  Insufficient connects to submit proposal for the job

[#18]

Hi Yadesa,

Thanks for reaching out. Whenever you submit a proposal to clients, you'll use Connects to reach out and let clients know you're interested in their project. 

Each job post will require a certain number of Connects and if you do not have enough Connects balance, you won't be able to submit a proposal.

You may purchase additional Connects so you can continue submitting proposals. To purchase additional Connects:

1. Go to Settings
2. Select Memberships & Connects
3. Click Add More Connects

Once you’ve selected the bundle you wish to purchase, click Add Connects and your account will automatically be charged.

Please also check this help article to learn more about the other ways to get Connects.

Kindly, check the attached screenshots below and fix them ASAP.
