Trade Please! promo

Hey all, quick question.
The bulbapedia page for the Trade Please! promo doesn’t really explain how it was distributed, only that it was used for the Trade Please! campaign.
m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Trade_Please!_(Trade_Please_promo)

Does it come from the Let’s Trade Please CD?
m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Let%27s_Trade_Please_(CD)

Also, why does PSA label it as ‘Exchange Please’ instead of Trade Please?

Thanks!

Double Edit with the Release Info from Bulbapedia: “In Japan, this card was available as part of the Trade Please campaign that ran from February 10 to July 31, 1998. Participants were required to mail a flyer included with copies of Trade Please by Suzukisan to MediaFactory along with any two Pokémon trading cards and a return envelope within the campaign period. Participants could select a “course” detailed on the flyer by writing in the appropriate space. The “A Course” included a Charizard card and a copy of this card. The “B Course” included a Blastoise card and a copy of this card. The “C Course” included a Venusaur card and a copy of this card. MediaFactory would then send the two cards from the chosen course to the participant, completing the trade.”

“It was reprinted as a Supporter card as part of the XY-P Promotional card collection, and was available as part of the Trade Please Campaign 20th, which began on September 16, 2016 for as long as stocks lasted. Customers visiting participating Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Stores, and Pokémon Store Outlets, as well as those attending the 20th Anniversary Festa venues in October, could trade 20 Pokémon TCG cards featuring a classic reverse (those released during the Original and Neo Eras) with a member of staff for 1 of 2 “courses” whilst saying the secret password “Trade Please!”. The “A Course” included a Pikachu card and a copy of this card. The “B Course” included a Charizard card and a copy of this card. Only 1 trade could be completed per day.”

Ah, thanks, I missed that part. I was always under the impression that you have to send the Trade Please card itself in to get a Zard/Stoise/Saur in return (like Bill’s PC for the Masaki campaign).
Okay. And the flyer comes from within this CD, right?

One question remains, why does PSA call it ‘Exchange Please’?

Yeah, it says the flyer was included with the CD so I think it would be within it unless it was handed out separately in stores when someone bought the CD. I don’t know why PSA calls it Exchange Please. It’s probably some translation issue when they looked it up. Even google translate doesn’t have it come up as trade when it’s copied into it. PSA probably doesn’t see any need to change it.

Thanks! Then the PSA name seems actually more correct than the bulbapedia name.
