Facing Issue in Buying Connects

[#1]

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 Pabasara, 

To purchase Connects, go to Settings > Membership & Connects and click on the green 'Add More Connects' button. Select the amount to buy from there and click on the 'Buy Connects' button. Please note that if you have sufficient funds on your Upwork balance, the charge will be applied to your Upwork balance. If not, the full amount will be charged to your primary billing method. You can check out this help article for more information.

If you are having issues adding a billing method to your Upwork account to purchase Connects, please share more information so our team can look into it further.

Hi Mahesh,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Could you please try to contact your card-issuing bank and ask them to allow international transactions? Also, ask them to remove any blocks that may hinder your usage of the card for Upwork transactions. If the issue persists after they've checked everything on their end, please let us know so we can further assist you.

International transactions are already active and no block is there on the cards.

Hi Saroj, 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked your account and it looks like your transaction was rejected by your bank. You may contact your card-issuing bank and ask them about why it was rejected, ask them to allow international transactions, and to remove any restrictions that might be hindering this transaction. Alternatively, if you have other payment methods, you can try using them instead.

Hi Akshit,

It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

Hey guys,

Hope you all are doing well. I am here with an issue that I have been facing for a long time now. It seems to me that there is problem with my MasterCard or idk what, I contacted both Upwork team and The bank, both of them says that the problem is not at their end and that I should contact The Bank or The Merchant. I have also dropped a ticket for the very same problem on Upwork support but no reply until now. This is turning out to be big problem for me as I am out of connects and need to submit proposals to my preferred jobs. Can anyone please help me how can I resolve this issue? I am unable to detect the issue. Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Javeria

Hi Javeria,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Since you have opened a support ticket regarding this issue, I sent a follow-up to our team to reach out to you on the same support ticket. If you wish to update the team with new information, I highly suggest that you post it on the ticket thread. Otherwise, I would recommend avoiding sending follow-ups on the same ticket thread because it goes back to the end of the queue every time a new message is added.

You can go to this page to access your tickets.

I am an Albanian Freelancer. I would like to buy some connect for several days.

But I constantly face the following message:
"Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method" and retry again later.

I had connected the Paypal account as a payment method. And the account has some funds ($90+)

But whenever try to buy connects, I see the same error screen.

Could anyone help me?
