Anyone know what Kickstarter codes as?

[Anonymous]

I plan to back a board game project for a good chunk of change, and want to know what the MCC is of Kickstarter. Not sure if any card gives more than 2%, so hopefully one of you has backed something before and can help me out.

Highly variable!  I've backed quite a few projects (as in 100+), and it's been very inconsistent.

Recently seen:

Purchases/BUSINESS SERVICES NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED

Purchases/HOBBY, TOY, AND GAME SHOPS

Purchases/DIRECT MARKETING - INBOUND TELEMARKETING MERC (??? this one was a Candian project)

etc...

Non-US projects sometimes show up as other merchant names, too.

No good way to get category bonuses that I've seen.

Maybe it relates to the project, as I backed a board game's second printing. It coded as Game and Hobby Shop. It cost me a $2.55 extra rewards because I didn't get the extra 1%, through the better card. Overall, I'm fine with it. But just a heads up for others, you can NOT change your payment method after the project finishes funding (and that is when the charge goes to the card).
