Look in the ED folder and look inside the Products folder. At the end of the game folder there is a number and if it is 1001 you are premium beta (and get expansions free) but if it is 1002 you are a standard beta like me and have to pay for expansions.

Going from a post I read today. The cash level for which you get free expansions was GBP 80 and above.

The "even more likely to be accurate" way would be to go to the Frontier store and login then have a look at your very first order. Mine says "ELITE: DANGEROUS - PREMIUM BETA" with a price of £100.00

Look under Your Orders (store account)

Standard Beta, Expansion Pass is listed separately (under Your Orders) if you bought it already.

September means you were a Standard Backer. Probably joined in the beta 1 or 2 days.

You do not get any of the expansions or betas outside standard Elite Dangerous is the short brutal answer.

Forgive me for being a thicko, i've completely lost track of all this stuff.
Mine says: 1 x Elite Dangerous Alpha £200.
It was completed in december 2013.

Does that mean I've got the free expansion thing?

Thank you Metal Stardust, christ I'm getting old! I would have found that easily 10 years ago!

I have the one ending in 1000, so does that mean I've got the lifetime expansion pass?

I'm not bothered to be honest, I'd happily pay more if it helps the developement but just curious.

Yes. Basically anyone who paid more than £90 gets it. Pretty sure you have beta access too.

While we're at it, can any of you KS backers check the app and say how many "backers" it shows right now? AFAIK it's pretty much the number of people who bought the game in general now.

If spaghetti falls from your pockets whenever you talk to a member of the opposite sex then you're definitely a high level beta :D

For list completion: The store lists my brand new lifetime pass as: FORC-FDEV-DH-1002 (can be found in order detail)
So we start a new branch for E:DH
