Accounts

Most supported sites require you to be logged into an account to check out. This page explains why accounts matter at a high level.

This page is background, not a setup guide. We do not create accounts, recommend account generation methods or tools, or advise on where to get accounts. For that, ask your cook group.

Why account quality matters

Retailers score accounts the same way they score everything else. The community consensus, which shifts over time and is not a guarantee, is roughly:

• Aged accounts tend to perform better than accounts made right before a drop.

• Accounts created carelessly in bulk tend to get flagged faster.

• Reusing the same email, payment method, or IP across many accounts increases the chance they get linked.

How to act on any of that is exactly the kind of thing that changes month to month, which is why we point you to your cook group instead of writing it here.

Start with your cook group. Account creation methods, email strategies, and what is currently passing on each site are community knowledge. Users compare notes there daily, and effective methods are often shared privately.
