Hi Sri Siva Sai,
We continue to offer that perk to Top Rated talent (even if they're on Basic Membership) as before. Feel free to check this solution for more information.
Hi Sri Siva Sai,
Once you get a Freelancer Plus plan, you can submit a request form from your Community profile to waive the freelancer service fee for any new clients you bring to Upwork within the next three months. After you submit the request, our team will be in touch with a client link within the next two business days. Please keep in mind that the client must be a new client and should not have an existing Upwork account.

Sri Siva Sai,
If you intend to bring your own client to Upwork as a part of Top Rated program, please refer to this this solution for more information and email BringYourClient@upwork.com to request the link.
Thank you!
Hi Shehan,
I want to note that these new features are only available to users who upgrade to Freelancer Plus between March 14, 2023 - March 31, 2023. When you get the Plus Plan around this time, you'll have priority access to our certification program and move to the front of the line. To answer your question, yes, you can add more than one certificate to your profile. Here's more information about Upwork Skills Certification.
The Bring Your Own Client program remains available to Top Rated and Top Rated Plus freelancers. We have added it as a perk for talent who will avail of the plan between March 14, 2023 - March 31, 2023.

Hi Shehan,
You can add more certifications to your profile through Custom Certifications. The Upwork Skill Certification is being offered to most people right now, so talent who has been previously certified may not be invited to get a certification again anytime soon. But if you get invited for another certification, you can definitely take it.
For this promo, once talent upgrades their membership plan, they can opt into Upwork Skills Certification inside their Community profile. The Upwork Skills Certification team will invite the freelancer to participate in one of our WMSD, D&C, or Customer Support assessments. Freelancer Plus members will be prioritized for Upwork Skills Certifications, which include skills in Web, Mobile, & Software Development, as well as Design & Creative skills.
Since you already have an Upwork Skill Certificate, let me double-check your question with the team and see if the perk applies to your account.
ETA: Hi Shehan, this perk will apply to you. 😊

Hi Yoyo,
You can downgrade your plan anytime. However, I want to note that downgrading your plan means losing the perks that come with it.
For this promo, the additional features noted on this page are only available to freelancers who purchase Freelancer Plus between March 14, 2023 - March 31, 2023, and the features themselves will only be available until June 30, 2023. We'll continue to share program updates throughout the next three months, so please be sure to leave your feedback and share your favorite features!
As we strive to perfect our offerings, we may hold additional specials throughout the year, incorporating changes and improvements based on your valuable feedback.

Hi Abdulafeez,
This particular perk is an exception to the expiration date of June 30. The 0% will be honored throughout the relationship with the client talent brought in through this program.

Hi Andrés Julian,
As with any membership plan, the perks will run until the end of the billing cycle. If you decide to renew, you will continue having access to the perks. To avail of the promo features, you must upgrade to the Freelancer Plus Plan between March 14, 2023 - March 31, 2023. The perks for this promo will only be available until June 30, 2023. If you want to keep using the additional perks, you'll need to renew your subscription until the promo ends (June 30).

Hi Ali,
Currently, the perks available during this promo are only available to users who purchase Freelancer Plus between March 14, 2023, and March 31, 2023, and will not be available to those already on the membership plan.
If anything changes, we will make sure to update the Community.
~ Avery
Hi Ali,
Your membership billing cycle should be between March 14, 2023 - March 31, 2023 to avail of this promo. If you downgrade your membership now, you will need to wait until April 12 (your membership's billing cycle) to upgrade to the Freelancer Plus Plan. You won't be able to downgrade and then upgrade for the purpose of changing your billing date within the same monthly billing cycle.
So if you want to change your billing cycle date, you need to downgrade to a Freelancer Basic plan before April 12 and then upgrade back to a Freelancer Plus plan after your billing cycle (April 12) on your preferred billing date.
You can read more about changing your monthly billing cycle in the FAQs of this article.

Ali and others
First off, thanks for being a Freelancer Plus member! We know there needs to be some clarification about why now and why do only the people who sign up during the promo period get the perks. These are valid questions! We've heard the feedback on the program, and to make it better, we are running a brief trial to help us gain more feedback and input into how to improve the program long term. For this current period, we are testing out six new perks. Going into this trial, our focus was specifically on new members. With all of that said, we are happy to let existing Freelancer Plus members who would like access to these new features in for the trial of the program. If you're an existing Freelancer Plus member and would like to be added comment here!
I have activated the freelancer plus plan for months. And today I went to check about all the new perks. When I go to the "Freelancer Plus hub" it says "Your new benefits will appear approximately 48 hours after signing up. If after 48 hours you still see this message, please let us know." Can someone tell me what should I do at this point?
