For those of us that pledge guild and buddy I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this particular issue and accounts as it relates to the emails, surveys and rewards. I have some anxious colleagues that are curious as to how the guild reward backing will work. Thank you in advance for any information you can tell us right now. :)

I would suggest giving us two options:
1. Ask people for their buddy/guild paizo accounts, or email addresses, and everything gets divided equally and sent directly to each person.
and
2. Split the game stuff, and PFRPG stuff into two codes, and give them and all physical items to the owner, so we can piece out the stuff.
I'm guessing most guild/buddy packs that chose option 2 would live near by. and option 1 would be used mostly for people who organized guild packs with people they met on the forums.
Whatever method, I would like to be able to wait until the game is about to go into EE before I split up my guild pack, I don't want to be forced to create a dummy account or give the stuff to a friend that may not even want to play in 2 years.
Some people may have bought guild and buddy packs, but aren't charging their friends, or their friends have no interest in the PFRPG stuff, so we want to sell/give that to other people who will use it.

Please no on the second, if possible. I live in Anchorage, Alaska. The cost of mailing boxes is very expensive. Mailing out 5 sets of goods to my pals would break what is left of my bank account. It would cost less for Paizo to mail them out separately, as they all live in the lower 48. I would not mind paying that lesser cost.
EDIT: Rethinking this. I read too hastily, which always happens when at work. What I intended to emphasize is that I did not want all the mailable materials (minis, for example) mailed directly to me. This is true only if it is possible to mail them to the accounts to which I send my guild invites. If that is completely unfeasable due to cost, or other headache factors, I will obviously have to mail them out myself.

I agree I think there should be two options. Where we can input a paizo account so that physical goods and such can get linked directly. I however, would use the other system where I would like to have a code I could provide someone for them to use that would grant them the privileges of the account so I can keep all the physical rewards but I can give out the accounts/pdfs to the other people who will be playing the game.

For me I need each account to be separate. My Guild lives across the country. I don't want to have to worry and have a headache about shipping the physical stuff to them.
I don't care if we have multiple options on how to handle this stuff, as long as I have the option to give the members account info to Paizo and they can take it from there. I want nothing more to deal with it at that point. In the words of Sweet Brown, ain't nobody got time for that.

There will only be one process. Effectively the Buddy and Guild Rewards will generate paizo.com Kickstarter-flagged accounts that can access the fulfillment tool just like the original backer.
You will not be able to break up the Rewards and assign them. You'll just provide email addresses for the people you want to include as your Buddy or Guild members, they'll be sent a message giving them directions on how to access the fulfillment tool, and they'll be able to log in and manage their "pledge" as if they'd backed the Kickstarter directly.
The questions we're working on are timing and process, not outcome.

Sorry, you lost me there. I pledged for a Guild level, and I already got my fellow players to each register a paizo.com account. When I receive my pledge survey, will I be indicating how to increase my pledge total and they I distribute each add-on to each players account (and only I get billed) or does everyone get a “base” account and each of them select their add-ons individually (and thus get billed separately). If this has been covered already I must have missed it, any clarification welcomed. Thanks.
Each person in the guild have their own account. You will give GW the information of the other 5 accounts. They will then send surveys to those five people. That's when those people would say they are a part of your guild.
Add-ons is another thing all together. I don't believe at this point we know if we can pay for additional things not already pledged from the kickstarter.

Hmm. I pledged at the guild level (6 accounts). I then pledged an additional amount for add-ons at my own expense, as a gift for them. I know what add-ons I budgeted for in coming up with that extra pledge and it doesn't necessarily break down evenly per account - some of my group love fancy titles, some are all about the region packs, etc. So letting each person allocate an even amount of pledge money isn't really what I'd planned on doing. Couldn't I just give you their emails (or forum accounts) and a list of the add-ons for each one?

You will be able to distribute Add-Ons to other players once the Pathfinder Online account management system is set up. That will not happen soon.
You will be able to distribute $35 Adventurer Level pledges the same way you distribute a Buddy or Guild Reward; by telling us the paizo.com account information of the recipient.
You will not have to distribute Guild accounts to ensure they are counted in your Land Rush total. Guild accounts are counted as +6 votes. The only people who need to vote for your Guild are people who have their own Pathfinder Account separate from your Guild Reward accounts.
