Want to upgrade but ....

Your 37 £ come from kickstarter, or backers app. The new store it appears that what is available for download. For you it is the digital copy to 30 pounds.
But do not worry, you're still a backers to 37 pounds.

so at the moment I don't think there is an upgrade option from your original pledge to Premium or Standard Beta. But its very likely there will be later on as there has been a suggestion that they are looking into that. The Beta won't start for a while yet so there isn't any rush to upgrade.
Your £37 pledge rewards are safe but won't appear in the store. They kind of separated backers and store 'products' at the end of last year.
If Frontier do allow you to upgrade at some point, be prepared they might not allow you to upgrade from your pledge point of £37 which included some extra rewards such as being able to start in the Cobra etc. instead they will only allow you to upgrade from the product price point which was £30. In other words you would pay the difference of £20 to go to Beta and keep your rewards. That's what happened with the Alpha upgrade option anyway.

I rather think 13 to go to beta. Like founding member of the elite, who have given £ 150 and pay only 50 to go to alpha instead of 100 starting from the premium beta
hmm well now we are into extra speculation territory because I thought they kind of just did that for the founders level, so if they were to do that at Beta level they would have to do it for every grade of pledge going up to the £50 or £100.
In any case, we don't know anything other than at the moment you can't upgrade to Beta...but watch this space!
Thanks for the advice. I hope they do allow upgrade at some point. If not, then eh ... I've got plenty of other things to keep me occupied.
Personally I would consider using the cash to buy the Expansion pass, far better value in the long run, or if feeling flush the Premium beta includes the pass.
