Hi Chinedum,

 

To purchase Connects, go to Settings > Membership & Connects and click on the green 'Add More Connects' button. From there, select the amount to buy and click on the 'Buy Connects' button. Please note, that if you have sufficient funds on your Upwork balance, the charge will be applied to your Upwork balance. If not, the full amount will be charged to your primary billing method. You can check out this help article for more information.

I can't find membership and connect on my upwork settings 

Hi Shedrack,

 

You can access the Membership & Connects page via this link. This should be the first option shown under "User Settings".

There is no membership and connects option in my profile setting. Please help 

Please double check. Firstly visit to Settings menu then underneath User Settings option you should find the Membership & Connect option. If you still not getting this option then you can contact with Customer Support, so they can assist and let you know the reason.

I didn't find it.

Hi Shannon,

 

Thank you for your message. It looks like you are trying to access the Settings page from your Client profile. You will need to switch to the freelancer profile and then click Settings.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi,
I am not able to attach my visa card to upwork account.

Hi Aoun,

 

I'm sorry you're having trouble adding your card. Can you please share a screengrab of the error you see on your end? You can also try using a different payment method to see if the issue persists.

Hi,There is a promocode text field on the buy connect screen. I don't have any promo code and I want to buy connects how can I do that? 

Hi Haseeb,

 

You don't need a promo code to buy Connects. You can process your Connects purchase without entering one. Also, note that we don't have any discount codes or promos available at the moment.

i wanna know if i can buy connects with the ammount that i have in my balance like i have 25$ and i want to use them to buy connects is that possible 

 

Hi Salah,

 

Absolutely! Using your Upwork Balance as a billing method to pay for your membership plan and buy Connects is one of the options. You can use your Upwork balance to purchase Connects even if you don’t have a primary billing method on file, as long as you have enough in your balance to cover the cost. You can also use a combination of Upwork earnings and your billing method if you have one on file. If your balance does not cover the price, we’ll automatically charge your primary billing method.

 

Please check this help article to learn more about available billing methods when paying your membership or buying Connects.
