Hello from Newbie

[Moosewala]

I'm fairly new to KS, and just hit my 25 to be a BC intern. I backed my first project 9 months ago when I was searching for a product I didn't know even existed, but I was hoping something was out there, and it just happened to come up as a kickstarter. 3 months later, I backed another project, and it was successful. Then after following The Oatmeal on Facebook, he posted that he had a game on Kickstarter, so I backed it...which led to me backing 22 more projects over the last month or 2.

I mostly back technology, games, and design, but have found a couple other projects outside of that I've liked as well.

One question for those of you who have done far more than myself. Many projects on BC have additional perks. Some are an extra discount https://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/ , others are extra items for free, and others are free shipping. I see some say how to get the extra discount, but others just say you get something extra with no way saying how to specify it. Do the creators check a list at the end of the campaign to see which backers to send it to? Do we have to send them a PM? On ones with free shipping, how does that work if shipping is added automatically?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm becoming a huge fan of Kickstarter now, and see myself backing more and more projects as time goes on.

Thanks,
Moosewala.
