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.

 

Update:

Hi Richard,

 

I checked your account, and it looks like the transaction has been declined. Usually, we don't have access to the specific decline error, so we recommend that you please check with your card-issuing bank to confirm the decline.

I've been trying to buy connects for some days now but Upwork is not able to charge my account. Upwork will then notify me that it's a problem with them. I have bought connect with this same card previously. I don't understand the rejection in charging the account this time. Please let me know what could be happening.

I want to buy connects but everytime I add my billing method it always says "We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank." I double check my card details, but everything is right. Please help I really need connects now.

Hello G A,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, users are allowed to use someone else’s credit card to purchase Connects for their account. This is allowed as long as the credit card owner has authorized them to do so. Please use a billing method you are authorized to use. If any issues arise, the Upwork team will notify you directly.

 

You can also check out this helpful article for more information about available Billing Methods that might work for you.
