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.

Hi Hasnain, 

 

It looks like the charge on your card keeps getting declined. Don't hesitate to contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline. Confirm if they allow recurring transactions on their cards as Upwork payments are classified as 'recurring.'

 

Meantime, you can add an alternative billing method to your account's billing methods.

Hi Bojan S,

 

I use 2 cards, one is master and second is a visa and they both have more than sufficient balance but I am getting the same error every time "our payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later." and my both cards are from different banks and i talk to both of them there is no issue from there side.

 

Please solve this issue ASAP. I want to buy connects and upgrade my account to premium.

I want to buy connects using a Payoneer virtual credit card and it keeps showing this notice (screenshot attached). Can anyone tell me the reason?

Hi Martha,

 

You may want to check out this help article for more information on what other billing methods are available on Upwork. The availability of these billing methods is based on a user's location. As such, not all billing methods are available to you. 

You can check which options are available to you by going to your Settings > Billing Methods.
