How to Join
Participation is optional. During checkout, opt in to the Collector of the Month competition. Once enrolled, eligible paid purchases made with that checkout email during the same calendar month contribute to your Collector Score.
The public leaderboard shows only your first name, last initial, and shipping state. For example, James W. • New Hampshire. TC Cache does not display your email address or purchase amount.
Collector Emails & Shop Updates
Joining Collector of the Month and subscribing to promotional TC Cache emails are separate choices at checkout. You may join the competition without subscribing to marketing emails.
TC Cache may still send messages reasonably necessary to administer the competition, verify a winner, fulfill a prize, or service an order. Promotional emails about releases, restocks, sales, and shop news remain optional and can be unsubscribed from without leaving an active competition.
How the Collector Score Works
Your Collector Score is calculated automatically from eligible TC Cache purchase activity during the month. The system is intentionally weighted toward repeat purchases and consistent collecting activity, while merchandise purchase amount plays a smaller, diminishing role.
Shipping and tax never contribute to your score. Scores are uncapped, update automatically, and the same scoring method is applied to every participating Collector for the entire monthly competition.
Ties
If two Collectors finish with the same score, the winner is determined in this order: most distinct purchase days, most distinct active weeks, most items purchased, then the customer who reached the tied final score first.
Monthly Timing & Eligible Orders
Each competition runs by calendar month in Eastern Time and resets at the start of the next month. Only successfully paid, eligible TC Cache direct-store orders count. Cancelled or refunded orders do not count toward a final score. TC Cache may correct obvious technical errors, duplicate transactions, fraud, or abuse that would distort the leaderboard.
