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.

Hi. I bought connects on 1 May 2024 for around ZAR 436.89 ($22.50), in which money was withdrawn from my account. They sent me a notification for this transaction. Today when I checked my bank statement statement the same amount was withdrawn again from my account. I never got an alert or anything. I have been trying to reach support but it seems they don't have an email where can attach the screenshots for these transactions. So can anybody please assist me on how I can get around this? I will attach the screenshots for the transactions here.

Good afternoon. Someone can help me with this problem: I have been trying to register my credit card to buy connects for several days, and although I enter the correct data it does not let me register. If someone in the community has had the same problem and has solved it, can you tell me how to do it? Thank you very much.

Hey there, been having difficulty in landing clients and also buying connects to bid on projects. My card couldn't be charged for whatever reason.
Btw, i haven't received my free 50 connect after i earned the rising talent badge.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble buying Connects. I want to clarify that the number of bonus Connects you receive after earning the Rising Talent badge is 30, not 50. That said, I can see that you haven't received that bonus yet.

Hi Enock,
Firstly, welcome to Upwork. Upwork currently requires new freelancers to do one of two things before being able to submit a proposal for a job: subscribe to our Freelancer Plus membership plan for $20 USD a month or purchase 100 Connects for $15 USD. A
After you fulfill this requirement, you will also receive 50 free Connects to help you get started on Upwork.
May 29, 2024 06:41:00 AM by Arjay M
Hi Mercy,
I'm sorry you're having difficulties purchasing Connects. I looked closely at the transactions you're trying to process and confirmed that they've been declined. Generally, this happens when the bank declines the transactions you're attempting on your card. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
Let us know if you need further assistance afterward; we'll gladly look into that for you.

I needed to buy connects, so I added a new debit card details and Upwork returned an error message: it couldn't find my card or keeps declines
Please solve my problem I m really helpless now
🙏 Thanks
May 29, 2024 10:59:28 PM by Joanne P
Hi Shanavas,
I checked, but it seems like you've already removed your billing method on file. Could you please try adding it again? You may also want to try adding a different card to your Paypal account and see if that works.
