I want to upgrade to freelance plus they are requesting my promo code. Which one is my promo code?

[#4]

Hi John,

We don't have any discount codes or promos available at the moment. Periodically, offers are sent by Upwork via email, at events, and through partnerships. To ensure you get the marketing emails, please submit the following form and we’ll add you to the list! You can always unsubscribe at any time.

Hello there!
Soo, I recently signed up to freelancer plus. It doesn't seem too bad, but the main reason why I signed up in the first place was becasue it was advertizing a coach to help get started with my freelancing journey. However, my freelancing plus settings on the community portal haven't appeared, and as far as I'm aware it's definitely been a few days I've signed up for the service. If you could help me resolve this issue and figure out why this isn't appearing, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd really like to go all in and dive deep, but I'd definitely like some help from a coach who's freelanced before so I can be aware of what to expect and where I could go on my freelancing journey.  Thank you so much for your time.

@upwork I'll like for someone to respond to this, I'm a nigeria and paying for the freelancer plus is difficult because my card isn't accepted. Any solution of inclusivity for Nigerians?

Hello, I want to purchase the plus plan, but I don't understand why it says I will receive only 73 connections instead of 80. Can you please explain?

Hello Freelancers,

My question is , Is it really worth to upgrade my basic profile to freelancer plus?

[#10]

Have you taken the learning paths from the Upwork Academy, Freelancer plus has benefits :

Access coaching

Free connects every month more than basic membership

[#11]

Hi! What does 3 months of additional perks mean if I was able to sign up between May 26 - June 30th? Do I not get billed for the two remaining months and get connects? I was able to signup on June 30 but I'm getting billing notification. I thought its free for three months?

[#12]

Hi Giorgio,

Thank you for your questions. The Freelancer Plus plan is not free for 3 months but the eligible users who have upgraded to the Freelancer Plus before June 30th will enjoy the new additional perks listed here along with the regular Freelancer Plus membership perks. 

Thank you,

Pradeep

[#14]

Hi Jaelin,

Thank you for reaching out and reporting this. I've escalated your post directly to the team handling your concern. One of the members will surely look into this and assist you accordingly.

[#15]

Hello moderator! Just upgraded to plus membership do i get access to Skill certification application now??\

Kindly help, thanks.

[#17]

Hi Aliyu,

At this time you cannot request to be invited to complete a skill certification. For the best chance of being invited in the future, we suggest you achieve a solid reputation, keep a complete and up-to-date profile that is not set to private, and maintain an active Upwork account in good standing. 

[#18]

 It was clearly stated in this list of benefits that members of the plan will be able to automatically skip the Upwork Skill Certification procedure. I don't understand why there's a default on that.

[#19]

Aliyu, I'd like to clarify that you still need to be invited if you have the membership. The difference is that those in the Freelancer Plus membership are now prioritized for being invited. You can opt into Upwork Skills Certification inside your Community profile by checking this option under the Freelancer Plus tab. Feel free to check out this page for more information. 

[#20]

“Skip the line for Upwork Skill Certification” it was clearly stated. It should be modified if that's not the case.
