Backer Club Notices Come Too Late

Twice now, I've received a notice from Backer Club about a new project I would be interested in backing IF an Early Bird slot were available. I joined BackerClub specifically for this reason, however, both times I looked at the projects in Kickstarter, all the Early Bird slots are gone. Not what I expected. So, what's the reason for joining BackerClub if you don't get timely "Project Starting" notification?

Same to me. I am always too late
ONE project was indeed different. There a backerclub backer could claim an early bird by just choosing the lowest pledge level and pledging the cost for the early bird level.
Maybe this would be something that backerclub can agree with all creators who post their stuff on this otherwise great platform?
Thank you for thinking about this idea.

It would be awesome if Kickstarter had a third category (in addition to Early Bird and Regular) for BackerClub!
The BackerClub deals could be comparable or even better than the EarlyBird deals and maybe they would last for 10 days from the date of the BackerClub email. So it wouldn't be limited by number but by time. And there'd be a interface between KS and BC that enabled KS to validate the attempted pledge via BC.
The BackerClub Powers That Be would have to work with the Kickstarter Powers That Be to make this available to Creators.
I think it would be awesome. It would give BC a lot of exposure and it would encourage people to support larger numbers of KS projects so that they could qualify to be BC members. Win-win-win.
