Payment Plan Option

If I use the payment plan option do I get the use of that tier right away or at the end of the plan? I assume at the end but want to make sure.

 

I had the same question, and you get access right away, for a given value of "right" and "away." Basically a message is sent to the Devs, but it can take a couple of days for everything to update. At the time I set my plan up I was told to give it a couple of days, and if I still didn't have extra forum access and such to email them about it.

 

You get access once you reach or exceed the value required for a tier.

Since it is possible to cancel the plan early, it is not really feasible to provide you access to Founder+ or Dev+ sections of the forum before you make the full payment.

EDIT: Proven incorrect.

 

Aye, as far as I understand it, when the item is fully paid for, you get it.

 

I wanted to pledge on a payment plan a "30 Year Lord of the Manor House Note"
Yet my bank said they wanted physical equity...
But there's no way I ever want any bank to lay a finger on my SotA Non-Taxable Property Deed
So I'll just stick with Lord's account and be happy
~TL~

 

This is the correct answer.

What's Up With the Service Fees?
There is a monthly service fee associated with the Layaway plan, thus increasing the overall amount paid for a tier. Part of this service fee goes to cover the monthly charges passed on to us from your payment provider (credit card, PayPal, or Amazon), part goes to cover our additional processing costs, and part covers the extra benefit you receive for reserving a potentially limited tier, and getting the rewards for that tier, prior to actually paying the full amount for that tier. For example, if you decide to make $80 monthly payments for the $800 Knight tier, we have to remove one of the Knight's pledges from the limited pool, and you immediately have access to the Private Developer Forums, even though you have only made one $80 payment. This would be unfair to all the backers that paid $400 or more in a single payment, so they could have access to the Private Developer Forums. The additional service fee you are paying each month covers these benefits.

 

Thanks Gracekain, I stand corrected.

 

np, i said the same as you once and was corrected myself. Technically it only makes sense to actually have to pay for the benefit to receive the privileges, but I guess forum access isn't that big of a deal anyway.

 

There was a question in another thread regarding the validity of this information. I can attest that as of June 30th 2014 this information is still current. pledging via layaway does gain access to the developer + forum while your plan is active but before it has been paid in full.

 

Excellent, thanks for the verification.

 

Payment plan? I am new and want to pledge, but I'm trying to figure what tier. I see the tiers , but am unsure of the founder and benefactor differences, and haven't read anything about a payment plan. That really makes a difference in the tier I could pledge.

 

Angora, there are a) royal founders that pledged during the kickstarter, b) founders that pledged or were received gifts before a deadline, which I can't remember but it has past, and c) benefactors which are anyone the pledges now. Royal founder and founder tiers are no longer available, only benefactor tiers.

Payment plans are available when you create your plans. Basically your pledge amount is divided into equal payments. The number of payments starts at the month you pledge and ends in February 2015. Each payment is automatically deducted using the payment method specified. The may be a service charge that is added to the pledge amount.

 

Thank you for the Information. That makes it a lot easier to pledge at a higher level. This is information that should be made known to more people.
