My wife does a lot of shopping at Coldwater Creek; enough that they invited her to their preferred shoppers club, oneCreek. The invitation asked her to go to a special page on their website, coldwatercreek.com/onecreek [deliberately not a link!], and enter a secret code. So she did, only to be redirected to the main page of the site with nowhere to enter the secret code.

After much headscratching, she tried www.coldwatercreek.com/onecreek, and found herself at the right page, which is SSL-secured — and, in fact, https://www.coldwatercreek.com/onecreek works fine, too.

Hey, Coldwater Creek! Try the instructions before sending them out!
