Facing Issue in Buying Connects

[4fc1b224]

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 Harjot,

I checked but don't see any billing methods on your account. It looks like you're referring to the Agency Owner trying to purchase Connects since they are the ones that can do that for the Agency. Since we can't discuss details of their account with you because of privacy reasons, please advise them to reach out to support directly so they can assist. A quick way to contact support is by clicking the question mark icon that shows at the bottom right corner of this page.

What I can say is that, in general, this happens when the transactions you’re attempting on your card keep being declined by the bank. In that case, you'll need to contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the quick reply. I will ask the owner of my Agency to do the needful. Hopefully, this will solve the issue.

Regards

Harjot

I purchased connects today and the amount is deducted from my account, still the connects are not reflected in my account. Can somebody help me with the next steps. Your help is much appreciated!

[aocumen]

Hi Sakthivel, 

I checked your account and can confirm that the transaction failed which is why you're not seeing Connects in your account. Please retry the transaction with another billing method to be able to purchase Connects.

[sakthivelsms]

Thanks, it worked!

HI..

Iam using a card which was previously (until last month) working fine on upwork for buying connects.... its got funds and authorized from bank side for online session...  when I suddenly started getting failures I removed the card to add it back again... during which I also reconfirmed with the bank but everything was ok from their side...it was active for online sessions and had funds....

Now I am unable to add the same card as billing methods. Getting this message : ""We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank.""

Its on my name and like I said it worked fine earlier but now I am unable to re-add it as billing method. Tried my other bank card which was good to go but still not acceptable. Please help !!

Hello Upworkers, Can I use my friend's Payoneer card to buy connects? Since I am new to upwork and neither I have upwork balance nor I have any Payoneer card. Will it be consider as violation of upwork terms and policies for using same payoneer card in two accounts?

[sofia2008]

The payment will be declined if the card is not in your name. You need to have your own payment method.

Hi Upwork,

I am the employee here having a  100% job success score. I am trying to buy connects through the same card which is being connected since the beginning. I have been receiving the funds which I have earned from Upwork. But whenever I try to buy connects, from the same visa debit card, it always gives an error "Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later."

Could you please help me with a permanent solution, as I have already suffered a lot and cant waste more time and it hurts losing potential clients by not sending them proposals? 

Looking forward to a positive response from your side ASAP.
