that's never happened to me - I know this because I've had several times when my credit card info changed between pledge and completion, and I had to update my cc info because the card was rejected at completion.
they confirm payment when you back, but the charge doesn't happen until successful completion, at least on KS.
- throwaway613834 9y agoOh I see, so do they not even put a temporary hold? Otherwise doesn't that mean they might not be able to get a significant portion of their pledged funding (e.g. if people don't bother to update their cards)?
- pfooti 9y agothat is correct - some percentage of every KS campaign fails to collect due to rejected CC charges / chargebacks etc. According to this older (2015) article [0], in 2014 KS had $529 MM in pledges, but only collected $444 MM. So: that's like 83% successful charges? Then again, that might have included failed campaigns (since those would be pledges that didn't collect as well). 0: https://techcrunch.com/2015/01/06/kickstarter-2014-numbers/ https://techcrunch.com/2015/01/06/kickstarter-2014-numbers/
