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.

Three days ago, I decided to buy a Freelancer Plus subscription for $19.99 + $3.6. I put exactly $ 23.59 on my card, after which I tried to make a payment, the site gave an error something like "an error occurred due to our fault, refresh the page and try again." After that, I tried several more times, but the exact same error came out on the site, however, money was debited from my card, exactly in the amount of $ 23.59 and the debit came from UpWork. I wrote in those.I was contacted three days after the write-off, but they didn't really answer me. I can't get to a real person in any way. Please help me what can be done in this situation.

Hi Musa,

 

I checked, and it looks like the transaction was declined. Please get in touch with your card-issuing bank so that they can look into the specific decline error.

I have tried with multiple bank accounts, have verified from the banks too. Not an isssue from the bank's side. I get this error 


 


Right after I get this error (attached), payment gets reversed. Initally, it goes through.  

Tried contacting support, no real agent connected, it were bot replies, unable to find an option to open a support ticket. What can I do?

Hi Muh,

 

Usually, your membership plan is activated immediately after your transaction is successful. I checked your account and it appears that your transaction to upgrade your membership was not successful.

I failed to complete the transaction with my card. I'm not sure what went wrong, as there is enough balance to cover the payment.

 

Can someone please take a look at this issue?

I recently upgraded to a Freelancer Plus account and attempted the payment with two different cards. Unfortunately, both transactions were declined by Upwork. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue. I've tried creating a support ticket, but the chatbot is not directing me to the appropriate ticket submission page. I have already contacted my bank, and they confirmed that there are no issues on their end. The credit card provider advised that I need to reach out to Upwork directly. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
