Hi Innocent,

 

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the trouble while upgrading your membership. 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.

Hello,
I added payment methods and tried to upgrade for premiums, Upwork said Payment failed to try another payment method, but in fact, it was already charged.
Can anyone advise me on how I get a refund? or at least get the Premium membership activated? Will my bank receipt help me here?

Thanks in advance

Omer.

I'm trying to use my PayPal account to upgrade my membership, but It keeps asking me for credit card information. I don't want to use a credit card. I want to use my Paypal Account.

Thank yo for your help!

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response.

I already contacted the bank regarding this issue, they says everything is okay from bank side there is no issue from their side. Because earlier I  used this card for membership renewal and it worked perfactely. please check from your side and tell me what is the issue.

Thanks
