    I tried to register for the Mermaid Club, but after hitting "Submit" I received an error. Did my registration go through?


    If you clicked "Submit" on the registration page and then received an error page, it's likely that your registration did go through. However, it is also likely that you are using a browser that is not compatible with the Mermaid Club, which is causing the error to occur. Certain browsers are limited in their functionality and will not allow certain Web sites to work optimally.

    To check for successful registration, visit www.chickenofthesea.com/mermaidclub and simply use your e?mail address and the password with which you registered. Once on the site, go to "Edit my profile," which is at the bottom of every page, and finish the registration process there. Note: Even if you are able to complete the registration in this manor, we recommend you check your browser compatibility and cookie settings.

    If you are unable to log in using the exact e?mail address and password with which you signed up, a technical problem occurred during the data transfer. In this case, we recommend you re–register using a different browser, since it may be an issue with your browser and computer configuration. For compatible browsers, click here. We also recommend you verify your cookie settings are correct.

    I am a Mermaid Club member but am not receiving e–mail  
    from Chicken of the Sea. What should I do?

    Spam filters sometimes block desired e–mail. It's possible that our mailings are getting placed in your "Bulk" or "Junk" mail boxes as a result of a spam filter. To change this, add themermaid@chickenofthesea.com to your address book or "Safe list."

    How do I unsubscribe? 

    There are several ways to unsubscribe from the Mermaid Club and its mailings. Each e–mail from the Mermaid Club has an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the mailing. By clicking on that link, you will no longer be part of that mailing only. In other words, if you unsubscribe from the Mermaid Memo, you will no longer receive the memo, but will still receive the recipe blast, special offer mailings, etc. The same is true for the recipe blast.

    To unsubscribe from all mailings, you can either:
    • Click the "Edit my profile" link at the bottom of the home page after logging into the club, and go to the "Unsubscribe" drop–down menu and select the option that you desire.
    • If you cannot log in, or you do not get the profile page when clicking on the "Edit my profile" link, then click here to change your profile and check the box "Check here to unsubscribe" and then "Submit." You will be unsubscribed from all mailings.
