Originally posted by ikkinlala I signed up yesterday for the Chatelaine step counter that's been on so many threads here lately (I hope I got there soon enough). They sent me an e-mail saying I was qualified for a start-up kit that I could pick up at a nearby Pharmasave. Does anyone know what's in one of these kits, or whether it would be worth the time to try to get one?

My start up kit included a Running Room velcro pouch to hold keys/money that straps onto my shoe, Slim Fast Bar, Pharmasave Cherry Lip Balm and booklet. Other people also reported getting a pair of sport socks.
I don't have a nearby participating Pharmasave, so I received the "your startup kit will be mailed to you" message.

the email I got said.....


Based on the information you supplied on your registration form, here is a list of Running Room stores and participating Pharmasave stores located within 100 km of your address:


but there was NO STORE listed!!! anyone have an email address for them or phone number?

I'm having difficulty with the iCoke.ca contest - whenever I try to log in and/or enter a pin# from a package, I get a "Member Country not eligible" error. Has anyone else had this problem? I've e-mailed the company but they have never responded.

I won music downloads at Puretracks and was having a bit of a problem with their site. I couldn't access their help desk - it just kept bringing me back to the login - so I tried to email the address that confirmed my download wins. I got mail back saying "we are sorry, this is an outgoing mail only - please contact our help desk".

Any suggestions - I thought it seemed a good place for music - but if you can't even contact them ....

Sign up for the help desk with a whole new email addy. That's what I had to do. Even after emailing them for the password it wouldn't work. i used my gmail account and it finally worked for me.

I actually emailed them regarding this same error - here is their response:

Thank you for contacting iCoke.ca. We appreciate you taking the time to contact
us regarding this issue.

Our records indicate your email address was originally registered with
Cokemusic.com, a U.S. based site. Due to the conflicting information between our
databases your iCoke.ca account is required a unique email address; one that is
not associated with any other U.S. based "My Thirst ID" promotional websites.

If you would like to use this email address for your iCoke.ca account only,
please let us know and we can de-activate the "My Thirst ID" websites associated
with this email address and it will be solely associated to your iCoke.ca
account. Please keep in mind once this process is complete, your existing "My
Thirst ID" accounts will be invalid and you will have to create new accounts
using a different email address. Please reply to this email with your decision
and we will complete this process.

If you have any other questions, feel free to use the "Talk To Us" link on the
iCoke.ca help page.


Unfortunately i had already entered a number of coke PIN's using that email address that are now "invalid" as they have "already been used by another user".
But hey - life goes on - I don't sweat the small stuff - I am certain to drink COKE all summer long - so I will get new codes.
Hope this helps.

How much did the "start up kit" cost ?

It's free. Shipping is also free if you are not able to pick one up at a local Pharmasave/Running Room. Just sign up for the Chatelaine Walking Club - get the pedometer and startup kit. The link is all over the place - check this weeks freebies

I had the same problem. I even called them and was told to e-mail instead No one ever got back to me but I kept on trying to sign in and eventually it worked. All I can say is keep trying and their customer service is terrible

I'm in NS and they came as an insert in the Chronicle Herald yesterday ... I would check the local newspapers

Thanks for the tip. My husband reads the Vancouver papers at work, hopefully he will find the inserts in them.

this is the only way to get help. Click on forgotten password to get your password if you forget it.

But that didn't work for me, I had to sign up with a whole different user name and email address for it to work. Then you put in your question and they will email you with the link to their response. The system sucks.
