# How To Fill Out Forms

# How To Fill Out ACO Forms

This guide explains every open form type and the fields you will see when submitting ACO profiles.

The goal is simple: submit clean forms the first time so your profile can be loaded without avoidable errors.

## Required Reading

* [ACO Guidelines](/guides/aco-guidelines) - the required submission overview.
* [Deadlines](/guides/deadlines) - the Sunday cutoff for forms, changes, removals, and SKU elections.
* [Profile Submission](/profiles/profile-submission) - the current form links.
* [IMAP Setup](/account-access/imap-setup) - required for Walmart, Sam's Club, and Amazon account access.

## Forms Covered

* **Pokemon Center Form** - Pokemon Center / PKC profiles.
* **Target Form** - Target profiles. Available to all members with current ACO access, with up to **3 profiles**.
* **Walmart Form** - Walmart profiles. Available to all members with current ACO access, with up to **5 profiles**. Requires Account Login, Account PW, and IMAP Access.
* **Sam's Club Form** - Sam's Club profiles.
* **Amazon Form** - Amazon profiles using your personal or business Amazon account.
* **Closed retailers** - Costco is not accepting forms right now.

## Current Profile Limits

* Pokemon Center: up to **3 profiles** per member.
* Target: up to **3 profiles** per member.
* Walmart: up to **5 profiles** per member.
* Sam's Club: **1 profile** per member.
* Amazon: use one clean account per submitted Amazon profile.
* Every profile you want run needs its own form submission.
* Every form requires your Discord ID. Use `/profile_setup` in Discord to find this ID.

## 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 PM CT**.

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 separate address jig.
* You may use the same base address for all 3 Pokemon Center profiles, but each profile must use a different jig. Example: **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.
* Pokemon Center only effectively loops when you use additional profiles with alternative payment methods and separately jigged addresses.
* Pokemon Center address jigging is your responsibility. Read [Address Jigging](/profiles/address-jigging) for the format and examples.
* Do not use the Pokemon Center form for Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, Amazon, or any closed retailer.

### Target Form

* Use for **Target** profiles only.
* Members with current ACO access may submit up to **3 Target profiles**.
* Submit one Target Google Form for each Target profile you want run.
* Each Target profile must use a completely different shipping address and billing information.
* Target uses our accounts; we forward shipping information for records.
* Target must use your exact addresses with no jigging.
* Do not manually run the same Target address while it is submitted for ACO.
* Target tracking numbers are sent by DM after they are available.

### Walmart Form

* Use for **Walmart** profiles only.
* Walmart is available to all members with current ACO access.
* You may submit up to **5 Walmart profiles**.
* Personal Walmart accounts are accepted.
* Walmart does not run on our accounts.
* Walmart profiles require **Account Login**, **Account PW**, and **IMAP Access**.
* Submit one Walmart Google Form for each Walmart account/profile you want run.

### Sam's Club Form

* Use for **Sam's Club** profiles only.
* You may submit **1 Sam's Club profile**.
* Submit one Sam's Club Google Form for the Sam's Club profile you want run.
* Sam's Club profiles require your **Account Login**, **Account PW**, and **IMAP Access**.
* IMAP Access lets the bot retrieve login or verification codes from the inbox tied to the Sam's Club account.
* Need help with IMAP? Read [How To Set Up IMAP](/account-access/imap-setup).

### Amazon Form

* Use for **Amazon** profiles only.
* Use your personal Amazon account. Amazon Business accounts are accepted.
* IMAP access is required for the email account tied to the Amazon account.
* Amazon uses the default payment method, default shipping address, and default billing address saved on your Amazon account.
* Prime is recommended so you avoid shipping charges on every order and can receive Prime-only pricing.
* Use a different Amazon account and billing method than your main setup when possible; bot activity can trigger soft bans or billing-method cooldowns.
* Do not jig your address on Amazon.
* Looping checkouts **cannot** be disabled for Amazon. Amazon runs 24/7 because there are no scheduled restocks.
* After a checkout, staff pauses the account. When restarted, it can be eligible to loop that checkout, though it is unlikely.

### Closed Retailers

* **Costco** is currently closed.
* Do not submit forms for closed retailers unless staff announces that they have reopened.
* Ignore closed-retailer links from old posts or screenshots.

### Common Mistakes

* Do not submit Target on the Pokemon Center form.
* Do not submit Pokemon Center on the Target form.
* Do not submit Walmart on another retailer's form.
* Do not submit Sam's Club on the Pokemon Center, Target, or Walmart form.
* Do not submit Amazon on the Pokemon Center, Target, Walmart, or Sam's Club form.
* Do not submit Costco while that retailer is closed.
* Do not expect one-checkout mode to disable Amazon looping.
* Do not combine multiple profiles into one form.
* Do not reuse the same profile label for different profiles.

## 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 separate address jig.
* 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.

### Account Details

* Fill out account-related fields only when the selected Google Form asks for them.
* Target profiles do not use your personal Target account.
* Walmart profiles use the Walmart account you submit; personal Walmart accounts are accepted.
* Walmart profiles require account login, account password, and IMAP access for the email tied to the Walmart account.
* Sam's Club profiles require the account login and account password for the Sam's Club account tied to that profile.
* Amazon profiles use your personal Amazon account or Amazon Business account.
* Amazon account defaults matter: payment method, shipping address, and billing address are pulled from the defaults saved in Amazon.
* Do not put passwords, card details, app passwords, or login codes in Discord.
* If you are unsure which email or account detail belongs on the form, open a ticket before submitting.

### IMAP Access

* Required for Sam's Club and Amazon profiles.
* Enter the app password or IMAP access value from the email account connected to the retailer account.
* Do not enter your normal email password unless the form specifically asks for the account password field.
* Need help creating app passwords? Read [How To Set Up IMAP](/account-access/imap-setup).

## Retailer, Profile Label & Checkout Limit

These fields tell us what retailer the profile belongs to, how it should be named, and when the bot should stop running it.

### Retailer / Form Selection

* Pokemon Center / PKC profiles go on the **Pokemon Center Form**.
* Target profiles go on the **Target Form**.
* Walmart profiles go on the **Walmart Form**.
* Sam's Club profiles go on the **Sam's Club Form**.
* Amazon profiles go on the **Amazon Form** and run 24/7 once loaded.
* Costco is closed and should not be selected or submitted right now.
* If a Google Form asks you to confirm the retailer, select the retailer for this one profile only.

### Profile Label

* Required on every form.
* Format: **DiscordName-Retailer-ProfileNumber**.
* Do not include spaces.
* This label is how staff and the bot identify the profile in logs, checkouts, support tickets, and account records.

Clean examples:

* **JohnDoe-Target-1**
* **JohnDoe-Target-2**
* **JohnDoe-PokemonCenter-1**
* **JohnDoe-Walmart-1**
* **JohnDoe-Walmart-2**
* **JohnDoe-SamsClub-1**
* **JohnDoe-Amazon-1**

### Successful Checkout Limit

* Required on every form.
* **One checkout only** means the profile should stop after one successful checkout.
* **Multiple checkouts allowed** means the profile can continue running after a successful checkout when the retailer, product limit, and drop conditions allow it.
* Choose the option you are comfortable with before submitting. This setting controls how aggressively the profile is allowed to keep going after a hit.
* Amazon is the exception: looping checkouts **cannot** be disabled because Amazon runs continuously.

## Payment Details

Payment fields are used for checkout when the form asks for direct payment details. Enter them exactly and use a supported hard card.

### Name On Card

* Enter the cardholder name exactly as it appears on the card or banking profile.
* This is used with the payment method during checkout.

### Card Type

* Choose the actual network printed on the card, such as **Visa**, **MasterCard**, **American Express**, **Discover**, or **JCB**.

### Credit Card Number

* Enter numbers only.
* Do not include spaces or dashes.
* Example format: **4242424242424242**

### Expiration Month

* Enter 2 digits.
* Example: **01** for January, **09** for September, **12** for December.

### Expiration Year

* Enter 4 digits.
* Example: **2028**.
* Use cards with at least 1 year before expiration when possible so the profile does not need frequent payment changes.

### CVV

* Enter the card security code exactly as shown on the card.
* Do not add spaces.

### Payment Rules

* Hard cards only.
* Do not submit VCCs.
* Do not submit AMEX employee cards.
* Pokemon Center profiles each need their own payment method and separate address jig, even if they share the same base shipping address.
* Amazon uses the default payment method saved on the Amazon account.
* For Amazon, we recommend using a different billing method than your main Amazon account because billing methods can receive cooldown periods after bot activity.
* Repeated card declines can get a profile removed.

## Shipping Details

Shipping fields tell the retailer where to send successful orders. Enter the final delivery details you want ACO to use.

### Shipping Full Name

* Enter the recipient name for delivery.
* Use the name you want associated with the shipment.

### Shipping Phone Number

* Enter numbers only.
* Example: **7738675309**.
* This is used for retailer checkout and delivery contact information.

### Shipping Street Address

* Enter the main street address.
* Example: **123 Main St**.
* You are responsible for any submitted address jigging unless the retailer requires exact addresses.
* Jig an address by adding short letters after the street number, before the street name. Example: **123 Main Street** becomes **123abc Main Street**.
* Common jig strings include **aaa**, **bbb**, **ccc**, **abc**, and **def**.
* Use `/profile_setup` in Discord if you need help generating jigged addresses.
* For Target, submit your exact address only. Target addresses should not be jigged.

### Shipping Apt / Unit / Suite

* Use this for apartment, unit, suite, floor, or building details.
* Leave it blank if it does not apply.

### Shipping ZIP / Postal Code

* Enter the ZIP or postal code for the shipping address.
* Double-check every digit.

### Shipping City, State & Country

* **City** is required.
* **State** is required and should be the abbreviation. Example: **IL**, **TX**, **CA**.
* **Country** is required and should be the 2-letter country code. Example: **US**.

### Retailer Address Notes

* Pokemon Center address jigging is your responsibility. You can use the same base address across Pokemon Center profiles, but each profile must have a separate jig. Read [Address Jigging](/profiles/address-jigging) for the format and examples.
* Target profiles must use exact addresses with no jigging.
* Each Target profile must use a completely different shipping address and billing information.
* Please do not manually run the same Target address while it is submitted for ACO.
* Walmart uses the account and address details on the account/profile you submit.
* Amazon uses the default shipping address saved on the Amazon account. Do not jig that address.

## Billing Details

Billing fields help the retailer verify the card. Only fill billing fields when billing is different from shipping.

### Is Billing The Same As Shipping?

* Select **Yes** if the card billing address matches the shipping address.
* Select **No** if the card billing address is different from the shipping address.

### If You Select Yes

* Leave the billing-only fields blank.
* The shipping details will be treated as the billing details.
* If the form skips billing-only fields, that is expected.

### If You Select No

Fill out every billing field that applies:

* **Billing Full Name** - name tied to the card billing profile.
* **Billing Phone Number** - phone number tied to billing, if different.
* **Billing Street Address** - main billing street address.
* **Billing Apt / Unit / Suite** - apartment, unit, suite, floor, or building if needed.
* **Billing ZIP / Postal Code** - ZIP or postal code tied to billing.
* **Billing City** - billing city.
* **Billing State** - billing state. Use the abbreviation when applicable.
* **Billing Country** - 2-letter country code. Example: **US**.

### Common Billing Mistakes

* Do not fill billing fields with random duplicates if billing matches shipping.
* Do not leave billing blank if the card bills somewhere else.
* Do not mix shipping ZIP with a different billing street address.
* Do not reuse the same billing information across multiple Target profiles.
* Amazon uses the default billing address saved on the Amazon account.
* Card declines, review holds, and cancellations can happen when billing details do not match the card.
