A note from the founder

Built by a collector,
for collectors.

I'm a 4th-year medical student. Between rotations and exams, I don't have hours to wait in line at Walmart or stay up until 3am refreshing Target.com — but I'm also a collector, and watching ETBs jump from $55 retail to $140+ on the secondary market made it impossible to keep up.

So I built this. Locked-In is the system I wished existed when I started collecting again. The honest goal is simple: help collectors get product at retail instead of feeding scalpers.

I charge a fee because the lights have to stay on — but the model only works if you're winning too. Resellers want full market. I want you to keep collecting.

// Real example
Phantasmal Flames ETB
Resale market $140
Retail + 17% fee $78
You save ~44%
*Fees vary by product tier — see Pricing.
How it works

Four pieces.
One drop secured.

Each profile is a self-contained checkout identity — name, account, payment method. Stack as many as you'd like. The system handles the rest.

// 01

Profile

Real-format name, unique email per profile, and contact info. The identity behind every checkout.

// 02

Account

Target, Walmart, Pokémon Center, Costco and more. One retailer account per profile, aged when possible.

// 03

VCC

One unique virtual card per account. Physical cards are best — Capital One Eno and Amex Business are solid VCC options.

// 04

Drop

Tasks fire simultaneously the moment stock goes live. Confirmation emails arrive within seconds.

Retailers

Coverage where the drops are.

The system targets the retailers that consistently produce wins. Set up only what you need — empty sections are simply skipped.

Target Circle

The primary retailer for Pokémon TCG drops. Highest priority — set up as many accounts as you can.

High Priority

Walmart

Secondary source for exclusives and restock waves. Walmart drops favor coverage — bring volume.

Min. 50 accounts

Pokémon Center

No account required. Checkouts run as guest with your shipping address and VCC.

Guest Checkout

Costco · Sam's · Amazon

Strong ROI on bundles, restocks, and exclusive drops. Membership required for Costco and Sam's.

Virtual Cards

One account.
One unique card.

Each retail account needs its own payment method. VCCs let you spin up multiple cards from a single bank — just like jigs bypass address limits.

#1
Physical / Neobank Debit Cards
Traditional debit/credit and neobank hard cards — PayPal, Chime, Cash App, Monzo. Highest approval consistency across every retailer.
BEST
#2
Capital One Eno
Virtual cards tied to your Capital One credit line — free with any eligible card. Generates unique card numbers per merchant with custom spend limits.
RECOMMENDED
#3
Amex Business (Virtual)
Amex business cards offer virtual card generation through the Amex portal. Strong approval rates and accepted at most major retailers.

Frequently Asked

Everything you might
be wondering.

Locked-In is an automated checkout (ACO) service that runs sub-second checkouts across multiple accounts the moment a drop goes live. It's fully managed — you submit your profiles once, and tasks fire automatically on every queued drop.

The result: you secure product at retail price instead of paying 2–3× on the secondary market.

Zero. You fill out the setup form once with your profile and account details — name, address, payment info, retail account credentials — and the system handles everything from there.

Setup support is included. If anything looks off, I'll reach out before your first drop to make sure it's dialed in.

It depends on the retailer and the drop. As a starting point:

  • Target: 3–10 accounts, more for high-demand drops
  • Walmart: Minimum 50 accounts for competitive coverage
  • Pokémon Center: No accounts needed (guest checkout)
  • Costco / Sam's / Amazon: Situational — set up only when a drop is announced

Each profile maps 1:1 with one account, one address (or jig), and one VCC.

You're only charged when a checkout completes successfully. Failed tasks cost you nothing — no monthly fee, no upfront retainer.

Fees are taken as a percentage of the current market price (TCGPlayer or eBay sold) and stay well below resale. The full schedule is posted under Pricing, and the exact rate is confirmed before each drop runs.

Once a checkout completes, you have 8 hours to pay your fee. Missing that window results in:

  • Immediate order cancellation — the secured product is forfeited
  • Permanent ACO service ban — no future tasks will be run

If you anticipate a delay (banking, time zone), reach out on Discord before the window closes — we can work something out, but only if communicated in advance.

You'll receive your SKU list via Discord before every drop. You have up to 12 hours before the scheduled drop to request a change or removal.

After the cutoff:

  • No changes or removals are accepted
  • Tasks fire as configured
  • You're responsible for any successful checkout on your queued list

Plan ahead — once 12 hours hits, the list is locked.

Some retail accounts may require a one-time verification code on the first login attempt. If that happens, you must be available on Discord at the time of initial login to send the code — usually a 5–10 minute window.

This is a one-time process per account. Once successfully logged in, no further codes are needed for any future drops.

Physical / Neobank cards (best): A real debit or credit card per account gives you the highest approval rate across every retailer with no virtual card flags — PayPal, Chime, Cash App, Monzo all qualify.

Capital One Eno (#2): Free with any eligible Capital One card. Generates unique virtual card numbers per merchant with custom spend limits — solid approval rates across all major retailers.

Amex Business (#3): Virtual card generation through the Amex portal. Strong approval rates, accepted at most major retailers, and a good option if you already carry an Amex business card.

Privacy.com — avoid completely: Hard-blacklisted by Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Pokémon Center. Will result in cancellation, flag, or ban 100% of the time. Never use it — not even as a backup.

The setup form supports up to 5 accounts per retailer. For anything beyond that — like the 50+ Walmart accounts we recommend — accounts must be imported via a .txt file on Discord.

Format: one account per line, email and password separated by a colon:

email1@gmail.com:password1
email2@gmail.com:password2
email3@gmail.com:password3

Add me on Discord and send the .txt — I'll confirm receipt and queue everything before your next drop.

While rare, the following are outside of our control:

  • Order cancellation — Retailers may cancel flagged orders post-checkout, even after confirmation.
  • Account suspension — High-volume accounts may be suspended. Aged accounts and proper jigs reduce but don't eliminate this risk.
  • Payment decline — VCCs can decline due to retailer fraud detection or billing-name mismatches.
  • No success guarantee — Stock availability, site load, and bot detection can result in missed drops despite valid configuration.
  • Retroactive blocks — Retailers may cancel bulk orders hours or days after a drop, even after labels are generated.

Submitting the setup form constitutes your acceptance of all of the above. Locked-In bears no liability for retailer-side decisions.

No links, no codes. Your referral simply enters your name in the "Referred by" field on their setup form.

Once they complete their first paid drop:

  • You receive 1 free checkout, credited via Discord
  • They get 50% off their first drop fee

Max 1 referral reward per month. Free checkout cannot be applied to PAS or high-demand drops. Rewards cap at 3 banked checkouts before a cooldown kicks in.

Everything happens on Discord. After your setup form is reviewed, you'll get an invite — that's where you'll receive:

  • Pre-drop SKU lists (for change/removal requests)
  • Live drop notifications and confirmations
  • Post-checkout payment summaries
  • Setup support and account-aging guidance

Discord is the only channel — no email blasts, no SMS spam.
