Golden Rule
Submit one form for each retailer profile you want run. A profile is one unique ACO run slot. For account-based retailers, that means one unique account per profile. Example: if you want 3 Pokemon Center profiles, 3 Target profiles, 5 Walmart profiles, 1 Sam’s Club profile, and 1 Amazon profile, submit 13 total Google Forms.Weekly Cutoff
All profile forms, profile changes, profile removals, and SKU elections are due every Sunday at 12:00 AM CT (midnight as Saturday ends).The next cutoff in your timezone will appear here when JavaScript is enabled.
Anything submitted after the cutoff is not run for the current week.Choose The Correct Form
Using the wrong Google Form can prevent your profile from being loaded. Start by matching the retailer to the correct form.Pokemon Center Form
- Use for Pokemon Center / PKC profiles only.
- You may submit up to 3 Pokemon Center profiles.
- Submit one Pokemon Center Google Form for each Pokemon Center profile you want run.
- Each Pokemon Center profile needs a unique email address, payment method, and phone number. Address jigging is optional, but recommended to reduce duplicate-order risk.
- Apple Card is not accepted for Pokemon Center ACO. Use a different supported payment method for Pokemon Center profiles. This restriction applies only to Pokemon Center / PKC; Apple Card can be used for other supported retailers when their normal payment requirements allow it.
- Address jigging is optional on Pokemon Center forms. You may use the same base address without a jig, but you accept the risk that duplicate email, billing address, payment method, shipping address, or phone information may cause a later order cancellation.
- If ACO successfully places an order and Pokemon Center later cancels it because duplicate billing or profile information was used, the applicable PAS fee still applies.
- If you choose to jig the address, you may use the same base address with variations such as 123aaa Main Street, 123bbb Main Street, and 123ccc Main Street.
- Pokemon Center is not looped on a single profile. It completes checkout once per profile.
- Additional profiles may use alternative payment methods and optional address jigs to reduce duplicate-order risk.
- Read Address Jigging if you choose to use address jigs.
- Do not use the Pokemon Center form for Target, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Amazon, or any closed retailer.

Email & Account Details
These fields identify the email, account contact, and profile ownership details needed for the currently open forms.Email Address
- Some retailer forms contain two email fields with different purposes.
- Email Address 1 is your contact email. If you choose to receive a copy of your completed form, Google Forms sends the copy to this address.
- Email Address 2 is the email used for checkout. On account-based retailer forms, this may be labeled as the retailer login email.
- The two addresses may be the same, but the first field does not replace the checkout or retailer-account email requested by the second field.
- When a form contains only one email field, follow that form’s label and retailer instructions.
- Each Pokemon Center profile needs a unique email address, payment method, and phone number. Address jigging is optional, but recommended for reducing duplicate-order risk.
- Account-based retailers should use the email tied to that specific account.
- Double-check spelling. A typo can make login codes, account records, and support matching harder.

- Amazon account defaults matter: payment method, shipping address, and billing address are pulled from the defaults saved in Amazon.
- Use a separate clean/new Amazon account for each submitted Amazon profile when possible.
