Poke Alerts watches trading card stock at more than 30 retailers across the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, and tells you the moment something lands. The same monitors that post into our Discord feed this app, so an alert here and a ping there are the same event. What you get pinged for is yours to set. An alert is information rather than a reservation, and stock moves in seconds. ALERTS Push notifications the moment a product comes back in stock, with the retailer, the price and a direct link. Filter by retailer and product so you only hear about what you actually collect. Set price rules so nothing reaches you above your own limit. CHECKER Check shelf stock near you by ZIP code or postcode, with a map of nearby stores and what members have reported at each. Report what you find so the next person does not drive out for nothing. NEWS Set announcements, release dates and site status, including queue and captcha notices, which are their own kind of alert and not a restock. CALENDAR Street dates, preorder windows and prerelease events, with a countdown to the next major release and a reminder you can set for any of them. MARKET Listings posted by other members, with the seller's history visible before you commit. WHAT YOU NEED A MEMBERSHIP FOR Signing in is free, and without a membership you can browse the market, read the news and the release calendar, manage your settings and see previews of the alert feed. Live alerts, the in-store checker and posting your own listings need a membership. Poke Alerts is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any manufacturer or retailer named in the app. All trademarks belong to their owners.
