Dear Upwork Compliance Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to inform you that I encountered an issue while attempting to purchase a membership on your platform. Specifically, when adding a billing method, the system displayed the following message: "We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank."

After speaking with my bank, they confirmed that everything is in order on their end. As such, I kindly request that you review this issue on your side and provide clarification on why the payment is being declined. I am eager to complete the membership purchase but am unable to proceed due to this error.

Your prompt assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. If further information is needed from my side, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
Soumya Singh

i have been using my account from 2022; it was on membership plan but when i want to renew, it shows that when my profile will be approved, then i can renew it plus it stays on private even when i change it to public.

Hi Abdul,

If you are having trouble switching your membership plan from Basic to Freelancer Plus, that's because today is the last day of your current billing cycle, and you won't be able to make changes to it until it's renewed.

Please allow 24 hours for the billing cycle to renew. Once it does, you can upgrade your membership plan.

Hello, Upwork Support team.
I signed up for Upwork a few days ago.
I successfully purchased connections when I created my account.
But now I can't purchase connections and memberships.
I'm getting this error:
"Sorry, something went wrong on our end. Please refresh the page and try again. If this issue keeps happening, contact customer support."
Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.
I look forward to working with you on Upwork.
Hope you can help.

Hello, 

I am a freelancer from India.

I want to upgrade my membership to Plus monthly. But if I trying to upgrade, it will show some error like this:

Message: Sorry, something went wrong on our end. Please refresh the page and try again. If this issue keeps happening, contact customer support.

My primary billing method is working properly when buying connects.

Hi team,

I am trying to add a card in my Upwork account, but fails to get added and errors out with the message "We are unable to authorize your card as the billing details you entered does not match with your bank or credit card company. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank."

It is worth mentioning that in my email, I am getting the emails that this card has been added into my Upwork account, but in frontend I am getting the above error.

And it is the card I am using in at least 3 other big platforms successfully.

Can you help?

Thanks
