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.
Thank you
Pradeep

Hi Friday,
I love the positivity and eagerness to get hired. Also, showing potential clients you are serious about your business and invested in building a working relationship with them will bring you closer to landing your first job. Connects are an investment toward your freelance career.
I'm sorry to learn that you ran out of Connects. There are three ways to get Connects on Upwork. You may want to visit this help article to learn more about them. Best of luck!

In addition, this also shows when i tried to buy connects....

Hi Lisette,
The bank account you linked is for withdrawing your funds after getting paid. You must add a billing method to buy Connects, which can be a PayPal account or a credit or debit card. You won't be able to use your bank account as a billing method. Feel free to check this article for more information.

Hi luiggi, It's been 2 days already and i still cant submit proposals due to my connects. I want to buy connects but I tried already to add my billing method but still it didnt work. Whenever I was redirected to my bank and was able to provide my OTP, after that it was back to then billing method again and I need to fill in again my bank account.

"We found a problem with your primary billing method and to put it on hold. Update it now."
I already updated the payment method, but still no solution.
How can you solve this problem?

Hi Arun,
I checked the transaction in your account and found that it has been declined. Please get in touch with your card-issuing bank so that they can look into the specific decline error.

Hi Joanne,
Thank you for your swift response.
I've used the same debit card on various platforms like Amazon, Myntra, Paytm, and Zomato without encountering any issues. It initially worked on Upwork a couple of times, but then stopped. Given that it's only an issue on Upwork and I've had successful transactions in the past, I don't believe it's a bank-related problem.
Could you please provide further guidance on resolving this matter?
Thanks,
Arun

I tried Visa (Derbit card)
Still get an issue
"You have not set up any billing methods yet.
Your billing method will be charged only when your available balance from Upwork earnings is not sufficient to pay for your monthly membership and/or Connects."
May 7, 2020 12:09:53 AM by Avery O
Hi Jignesh,
It looks like your previous billing method was declined. You can try adding a different billing method to your account to be able to purchase Connects. Kindly also refer to the email support ticket that the team sent you for more information about your concern.

I tried adding a mastercard as my billing method but it's saying we are unable to authorize your card. Please what can I do?. I have been waiting for a reply but no one seems to care. I tried some of my other cards but it still didnt work and my cards are actively working.
