Survey?

I’m a little confused. How do I fill out the survey? Is it something I’m supposed to get an email for? I’ve been keeping an eye out and I haven’t seen anything.

Glow in the dark patch

I’m trying to see if there is a way to check about the glow in the dark patch that was possible to get with the early on pledges. I thought I pledged just before the timer for it was up but now I’m not so sure cause I can’t find it anywhere on my list of items? Is it not a thing that’s usually listed there? This is my first time on backerkit so I’m very new to all this 🖤
