Pokémon Drawing Alerts
A drawing only helps if you know it's open. Target lists drawings without telling anyone, Walmart's windows close after an hour, and some shops' drawings close the same day. Drawing Alerts watches for you and sends one email per drawing, nothing else.
What last week's alerts would have been
Six emails between November 2 and November 6, one for each drawing, invite round or Walmart window:

What an alert looks like
Where the alerts come from
| Target | Target's own product data for Pokémon trading cards, read every 10 minutes. |
|---|---|
| Walmart | Walmart's drawing page, read every 10 minutes. You get an email when a window is posted and another 30 minutes before it opens. |
| Other stores | Dick's, Best Buy, Amazon, Many Realms and other shops, from public restock reports checked every 10 minutes. You get an email when a drawing or invite round is reported open. |
| Right after you pay | A confirmation email listing everything on the board at that moment. |
We only tell you a drawing exists. You enter yourself, on the store's page, with your own account, as every store requires.
Price
$2.99 for 30 days or $6.99 for 90 days, paid once on Stripe's checkout page. It doesn't renew, so there's nothing to cancel. General restock alert services such as Autoqueue Premium charge $8 a month and ping you about every restock; this covers drawings and invite rounds only.
Questions
Which email do alerts go to?
The one you enter on the Stripe checkout page.
How fast are they?
Target and Walmart: within about 10 minutes of the store's listing changing. Other stores: within about 10 minutes of the opening being reported.
Can it enter drawings for me?
No. Every store bans automated entries and disqualifies accounts that use them.
What if no drawing opens while I'm signed up?
Then you get no alert emails. Walmart has run a batch almost every week since October, and the first week of November had five stores running drawings or invite rounds.
