Question 1

What does my VIP subscription get me?

Accepted Answer

The headline is automated Pokémon TCG stock alerts: our Poké Bot posts every restock it detects to the private #vip-stock-alerts channel, covering English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean product. VIP also includes One Piece and Lorcana alerts, access to Intel, unlimited marketplace listings with featured placement, monthly giveaway entry, and a VIP Discord role with a holographic badge and access to our exclusive stock and chat channels. £4.99/mo, cancel anytime.

Question 2

How do free and VIP stock alerts differ?

Accepted Answer

VIP Stock Alerts is the automated feed: our Poké Bot posts every restock it detects to #vip-stock-alerts. The free #stock-alerts channel is just where a moderator occasionally posts a restock they spot. Smyths in-store stock alerts are free for everyone. If you want to actually catch restocks across the board, that's VIP.

Question 3

What is Intel?

Accepted Answer

Intel is the restock history for everything we track: search any product and see how often it has come back into stock, which retailers restocked it, and what time of day they tend to do it. It reports what has already happened — it does not predict future restocks. Intel is included with VIP.

Question 4

How many marketplace listings can I have for free?

Accepted Answer

A free account can hold up to 25 available listings and 25 wanted listings at any one time, counted separately. VIP removes the cap. Nothing is ever deleted if you hit it or if you cancel — you simply can't add more in that direction until you're back under.

Question 5

How do giveaways work?

Accepted Answer

Each month we give away Pokémon products. VIP members are auto-entered into every giveaway as a convenience of their subscription. There's also a free postal entry route open to everyone, with exactly the same chance of winning, and no purchase necessary. Full details: /giveaway-terms.

Question 6

Can I cancel any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel from your account page or directly via Stripe, no questions asked. Your VIP perks stay active until the end of the current billing period.

Question 7

Where does my money go?

Accepted Answer

Hosting, retailer monitoring infrastructure, the monthly giveaway, and continued development of Poké Tracker.

Question 8

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

No. VIP is £4.99/mo from day one, with no trial period. Every account is free to create, so you can look around first, but the automated VIP Stock Alerts feed is the part worth paying for.

Question 9

What do I keep if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You keep everything on the free tier: Discord access, Smyths in-store stock alerts, and marketplace listings up to the free cap. You lose the automated VIP Stock Alerts feed, One Piece and Lorcana alerts, Intel, monthly giveaway auto-entry, featured marketplace placement, and the VIP role, badge and exclusive channels.
