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.

I've been frustrated with this issue I tried 3 cards and even my Paypal to renew my Plus membership I can't do it.
Please someone help because Upwork support just closes tickets and says that things are done but nothing works.
Thanks

I recently bought freelance plus membership, the amount was deducted from my account but it is not upgraded to freelance plus and I didn't receive any connect. You can verify from the attached screenshots.
It showed only basic membership not freelance plus.

Hi Hardik,
I don't see that your membership was upgraded, nor has any billing method been added to your account. Please ensure you have a valid billing method and try upgrading your membership again. If you experience any errors, don't hesitate to let us know.

Hi,
i upgraded my account to Plus and the transaction was successful, yet i did not get my benefits and connects.
Jan 2, 2024 06:00:47 AM by Luiggi R
Hi Alia,
Can you please confirm with your financial institution if your billing method was charged? I do not see that the transaction you're referring to was successful on our end, so your membership didn't change.
Jan 2, 2024 08:09:08 AM by Arjay M
Hi Alia,
Thank you for your response and confirmation. Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with a screenshot of the charge you're referring to? We'll have that reviewed and assist you accordingly.
Looking forward to your message.

I am sorry to hear about the trouble while upgrading your membership plan. Could you please contact your card issuing bank to check for permission to use your card for international transactions? You can also try using another billing method. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

Hi Emmanuel,
I checked your account and saw that the transaction has been declined. For decline errors, we recommend that you contact your card-issuing bank so that they can look into the specific decline error.

Hello, I am using my SBI GLOBAL VISA DEBIT CARD to buy connects. I need to change my membership plan from basic to plus. But, I am not able to complete the transaction. Getting a message as 'charge failed'. I can buy connects using the same debit card. But, I am not able to use the same card to change my membership plan. Please give me a solution. Thank you.

I am trying to buy connects using different debit cards(MC/VISA)/paypal unsuccessfully. The response from upwork is "Choose an alternate payment method or try again later". I even try to get in touch with support agent but unable to find any link to contact support.
Are there any options to contact support agent ?
