The short answer is yes — PokeScan is a legitimate Pokemon TCG restock monitoring service. We've been providing alerts to collectors since 2024 and have thousands of active members. Below is the detailed breakdown of every common question we receive.
Is PokeScan a scam?
No. PokeScan is a legitimate restock monitoring service that delivers on exactly what it promises: instant Discord alerts when Pokemon TCG products restock at major retailers. Payments are processed by Whop, a well-established platform used by thousands of digital product creators. You get a 3-day free trial before any charge, so you can verify the service works before committing. Our Terms of Service are publicly available and there are no hidden fees.
Is it safe to join?
Yes. PokeScan never asks for your store login credentials, payment card details, or any personal information beyond what Whop collects for billing purposes. Whop is PCI-DSS compliant and handles all payment processing securely. Joining the Discord server itself requires only a Discord account. We don't store your personal data beyond what's needed to manage your membership.
Does it actually work?
Yes. PokeScan's automated monitors check retailer inventory endpoints continuously and fire Discord alerts within seconds of any stock change. The speed advantage over manual checking is significant — most major Pokemon TCG restocks sell out within 2–5 minutes, and human shoppers refreshing pages manually cannot compete with the speed and breadth of automated monitoring across 100+ stores simultaneously.
Is $7.99/month worth it?
Yes, for most collectors. Consider: a Prismatic Evolutions ETB has an MSRP of $49.99 but sells on eBay for $150+. Catching a single retail restock with PokeScan saves you $100+. That's 17 months of PokeScan membership from one catch. Even for more modestly priced products, catching one retail drop per month that you'd otherwise miss at resale prices pays for the subscription many times over. See our pricing page for a full feature breakdown.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your PokeScan subscription at any time through your Whop account dashboard. There are no cancellation fees, no contracts, and no minimum commitment. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, so you retain access until the period you've paid for expires.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — PokeScan includes a 3-day free trial. You won't be charged until day 4. If you cancel within the trial period you pay nothing. This gives you enough time to experience several real restocks and evaluate whether the service works for your needs before any money changes hands.
Who runs PokeScan?
PokeScan is run by Pokemon TCG collectors who were frustrated with missing drops and paying reseller prices. We built the tooling to solve our own problem and opened it up to the community. We're not a faceless corporation — if you have questions or issues, contact us directly at pokescan610@gmail.com and a real person will respond.
What if it doesn't work for me?
The 3-day free trial means you take zero financial risk when evaluating PokeScan. If you experience technical issues during or after the trial, contact us at pokescan610@gmail.com and we'll work to resolve them. Our goal is for every member to catch at least one drop they would have missed — if that's not happening, we want to know why.
