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 youโ€™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 youโ€™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.

Upon adding my card details on the billing page, I receive "We are unable to authorize your card as the billing details you entered does not match with your bank or credit card company" - however my card has the verification transaction and I receive an email with my card being added to my account.

I can't buy a new connects and when I try to migrate to the Upwork plan plus it gives me this message "Your payment could not be processed. " P.S.: I updated my billing method too many times and the same problem exists. 

Hi Samer,

 

I checked, and it looks like your card-issuing bank has declined the transaction. Please contact them directly so that they can assist you with the specific decline error.

I have recently added a Visa credit card to my billing methods but when I try to buy the freelancer plus subscription it shows "your payment could not be processed." Please guide

Hi Anupam,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

I've talked to the bank but still there is no clear reason. Can you please deduct the amount from my pending funds for the subscription, I'd appreciate that.

Hi Anupam,

 

I've converted your post into a support ticket to give your case the attention it deserves. One of the members will contact you on this page with more information and further assistance in resolving your payment issue.

I also had a similar problem sometimes back. Then i found out that i needed to remove my billing method from the settings option and then add it again. And it worked. Now everytime i have to purchase connects i have to do the same thing again. Very annoying!

My payment were declined for unknown reason. I checked all details and they were all correct. I already visited my depository bank and contacted their customer support but the said the problem is not on their end. I need clear answer and solution from upwork. I need to buy connect. Please help.

Dear friend,

You can try this_
1) Use an alternate payment method.
OR
2)
Remove the payment-method you added to Upwork Upwork. Clear the cache of
the browser you use. And then add the same payment method.

This may help.
