Extension summary

Kickstarter backers who have missed out on an early bird reward level can still get these early bird rewards. You used to just have to get lucky and be on the site when one became available, but now by using this extension, and by creating an account on http://www.fastbacker.com you can easily get these early bird rewards even after they're gone. The site allows you to subscribe to any Kickstarter project and select the limited reward level you wish to auto-pledge. This project then shows up in the extension project list, and when you click it, it will begin attempting to pledge for that early bird or other limited reward you selected. Over time, it usually is able to get the reward for you. Just make sure you're logged into Kickstarter before starting using Auto-Pledge.

v0.5.9.2 Add capability to change pledge using new Kickstarter site changes.

v0.5.9.1 Attempt to fix edge case of page not refreshing.

v0.5.9.0 Added the capability to pledge when Add-Ons are enabled by the project creator. This update hopefully fixes this to allow submitting the pledge without any addons or extra pledge amount, but will get the base pledge submitted which then you should be able to go back and modify to get addons or pledge an additional amount.

v0.5.8.0 Reworked the auto-pledge logic to work with some new projects on Kickstarter which the old logic no longer worked with. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to get the extra pledge amount/bonus amount to work at this time. For now you'll have to go back in and edit this after it has secured your new pledge. Kickstarter also broke the method I was using to detect the "sold out" pledges with, so the extension can only assume that if it can't find your pledge as a selectable item, that it's currently sold out.

v0.5.7.0

The auto-pledge works. There is a cost to the service but I found it worth it considering it saved me several hundred dollars

Auto-Pledge works great for botting and sitting on exclusive KS limited tiers. Notifications do not work at all. Since I installed it for the first purpose, 4/5 stars

Scam. Asks for money to use the auto-pledge on the website. No need for the plug-in at all.
