Hello fellow freelancers,
I hope you're all doing well. I've been a 2 months Upwork Plus member, and my membership has always automatically renewed on the 10th of each month without any issues. However, I've noticed that my Upwork Plus membership did not renew as expected this month (September).
I wanted to reach out to the community and inquire if anyone else has experienced a similar situation recently or if there have been any changes in the renewal process that I might not be aware of.
I rely on the benefits of my Upwork Plus membership, such as connects and other premium features, for my freelancing activities, so it's important for me to ensure it's renewed promptly.
If anyone has insights or advice on how to address this issue or if you've encountered a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Regards,
Rushikesh.S

Hi Rushikesh,
Thank you for reaching out to us. The Freelancer Plus subscription is automatically renewed every month when your billing cycle restarts. However, it looks like there was a problem charging your billing method. We highly suggest contacting your bank to inquire about the specific reason why the transaction was declined. You may also try adding another billing method so you can resume your subscription.

I have a Debit card and am unable to make a payment even though it completed the 1 dollar verification, also tried Paypal and Paypal does not support wallet for Indian accounts. How do I pay for the plus membership

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems purchasing the subscription to Freelancer Plus. 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.

But my card had a successful 1 dollar verification thing, so why would it reject after that

Hi Eric,
We don't have this information, unfortunately. It is best to contact the bank so they can inform you.

My card detail is correct but At Upwork, I get
"We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank."
Please help

I need help to buy connects, I can´t use credit card and paypal. And support center didn´t answer my questions. Thanks!!
Sep 18, 2023 10:49:03 AM by Mykola A
Try other card. It is Upwork issue, many cards and Paypal rejecting with no reason. Or speak with support (very long way).
Sep 18, 2023 11:33:51 AM by NikolaS N
Hi Gustavo,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding.
Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

Hello there,
I've been struggling for hours trying to purchase connects. Every time I attempt to pay for the connects using the same card I've used successfully in the past, it keeps failing. It was showing that " There was a problem charging your billing method. Please enter a new billing method and try again." This issue has left me feeling really down. Please, could you look into this matter for me? Your assistance would mean a lot. Thank you.

MD,
Make sure your card hasn't expired or over it's limit. Contact your credit card company.
Sep 19, 2023 11:59:34 PM by MD MAMUNOR R
Hey William, I'd like to express my gratitude for your cooperation. I'm pleased to inform you that the issue has been resolved, and everything is functioning as expected now.

Hello,
My name is Karan.
I tried to buy connects via Rupee Debit card and when I tried to buy it some charges deducted from my account. I received this message from my Bank : "Alert!You've spent Rs.83.29 On HDFC Bank Debit Card At Upwork -CardValidate Upw". And it is showing error for which I attached screenshot of it. Please guide me this Card validate charges is common and it is refundable or not and this screenshot error too.
Thank you
