Manual Checkout While Using ACO

​

Pokemon Center

• Use different card information than anything submitted for ACO.
• Use a different email address than anything submitted for ACO.
• Pokemon Center ACO can checkout as a guest using the email submitted for that profile.
• We recommend avoiding Pokemon Center accounts for manual checkout when possible. Accounts can glitch at checkout, and any email/account history connected to ACO-submitted emails can increase cancellation risk through Pokemon Center review systems.
• Use different shipping and billing information from anything submitted for ACO when possible. Address jigging is optional on Pokemon Center forms, but duplicate email, billing address, payment method, shipping address, or phone information may cause an order cancellation. If ACO successfully checked out before a duplicate-information cancellation, the applicable PAS fee still applies. If you need address examples, read Address Jigging.

​

Sam’s Club

• Do not stay logged into the Sam’s Club account submitted for ACO during a drop. Active manual sessions can interfere with 2FA and log the account out on our end.
• If ACO is running one Sam’s Club SKU, do not manually run another online SKU on the same membership.
• This also applies to complimentary or household accounts, because they are tied to the same membership.
• You may still use your Sam’s Club membership in-store if in-store and online drops happen on the same day.

​

Target

• You may use any email address or Target account manually. Target ACO uses our accounts, so your ACO Target orders are not tied to your personal Target email.
• Do not use the same payment information you submitted for ACO.
• Do not use the same billing or shipping address you submitted for ACO.
• We recommend avoiding manual Target activity that overlaps with ACO for the same submitted details because the order IP or location context can differ from your manual order.
• Target tracking numbers are sent by DM and may also appear in Items Shipping after tracking is matched.

​

Walmart

• Walmart is available to all members with current ACO access, with up to 5 profiles per member.
• Personal Walmart accounts are accepted; Walmart does not run on our accounts.
• Walmart requires Account Login, Account PW, and IMAP Access.
• Avoid manual Walmart activity on the same submitted account while ACO is running unless staff says otherwise.

​

Amazon

• Amazon ACO uses the personal or business Amazon account you submit.
• We recommend using a different Amazon account and billing method than your main Amazon setup.
• Bot activity can cause soft bans or billing-method cooldown periods, which can stop orders on your main Amazon account if you reuse it.
• Keep your default Amazon payment method, shipping address, and billing address correct before ACO runs.
• Do not jig your Amazon address.
• Looping checkouts cannot be disabled for Amazon because it runs 24/7.

​

When In Doubt

• If a situation is not covered here, open a ticket before the drop.
• If manual activity conflicts with ACO rules, your profile may not be run for that retailer.
