AFFINION GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER

ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

ACHIEVES QUARTERLY ADJUSTED EBITDA

OF $84.1 MILLION ON REVENUE GROWTH OF 13.7%

ADJUSTED LTM EBITDA OF $330.6 MILLION

STAMFORD, Conn., July 28, 2011 – Affinion Group, Inc. (“Affinion” or the “Company”), a global leader in the designing, marketing and servicing of comprehensive customer engagement and loyalty solutions that enhance and extend the relationship of millions of consumers with many of the largest and most respected companies in the world, announced today the financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 (“second quarter”) for both Affinion and its parent company, Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”).

“As we had expected going into this quarter, our level of marketing and commissions increased significantly, particularly in Membership, as compared to the second quarter of last year,” said Nathaniel J. Lipman, Affinion’s Chief Executive Officer. “While this had the effect of slightly reducing our trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA as compared to the first quarter this year, this investment sets a foundation for our growth in the second half of the year and beyond, and we continue to expect 2011 full year Adjusted EBITDA of $365 to $385 million.”

“Our recently announced transaction to acquire Prospectiv Direct, Inc., including its highly popular Eversave daily deal program, is progressing quickly, and is on track to close this summer,” continued Lipman. “While the near-term economic contributions of this exciting new asset will be modest, we believe there are significant opportunities for growth in the couponing marketplace, and are looking forward to bringing consumers attractive deals in ways that are both convenient to them and beneficial to the merchants looking to establish sustainable new relationships.

Between Affinion’s existing assets and Eversave’s expanding footprint, together we will be capable of marketing national offers for more than 500 leading brands while simultaneously maintaining a strong local presence through both our daily deals in 22 markets as well as the more than 250,000 merchant locations where we provide consumers with savings in lifestyle and leisure services, including more than 70,000 discounts that are downloadable right to users’ mobile devices.”

Notes: Adjusted EBITDA as referred to above excludes any pro forma impact of acquisitions. See Tables 6 and 11 for a complete description of Adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliations. On January 14, 2011, Affinion entered into and completed a merger agreement with Webloyalty, a global online marketing services company. Webloyalty’s business results are now being reported as part of the Company’s Membership and International products, as appropriate. Readers are urged to review the section entitled “Important Notes” at the end of this release for a description of certain items affecting the results, including the impact of purchase accounting from the Webloyalty transaction.

Results Highlights

Second Quarter Net Revenues

•

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $387.1 million as compared to $340.5 million for the second quarter of 2010, reflecting an increase of 13.7%, with growth in both North American and International products net revenues in the quarter.

•

Overall revenue growth was due to the contributions of Webloyalty and Connexions to the results, and International products net revenues were further benefited by a favorable impact from foreign exchange in the quarter.

Second Quarter Operating Results

•

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note (d) of Table 6) was $84.1 million as compared to $85.5 million for the second quarter of 2010.

•

Segment EBITDA was $72.1 million as compared to $63.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $8.2 million, or 12.8%.

•

Segment EBITDA benefitted from the contribution from Webloyalty and Connexions, which more than offset higher marketing and commissions and operating costs.

Segment Commentary

North America:

Membership products revenue increased $22.0 million, from $172.9 million to $194.9 million, or 12.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010. Net Membership revenues increased primarily due to $21.2 million in domestic revenue contributed from Webloyalty. Membership Segment EBITDA increased $4.5 million, from $30.3 million to $34.8 million, or 14.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010, as $8.5 million in contributions from Webloyalty and the absence of $8.0 million in facility exit costs from the second quarter of 2010 associated with the lease on our former headquarters more than offset $13.7 million in higher marketing and commission expense, as well as higher operating costs primarily related to increased subscribers in our identity theft protection programs.

Insurance and Package products revenue decreased $4.1 million, from $89.1 million to $85.0 million, as compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to higher cost of insurance, driven by higher claims experience in the quarter, as well as lower revenue from the NetGain product. Insurance and Package Segment EBITDA decreased $3.9 million in the second quarter, from $26.4 million to $22.5 million, or 14.8%, primarily due to the lower net revenues.

Loyalty products revenue increased $13.0 million, from $21.7 million to $34.7 million, or 59.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010, due to the Connexions acquisition that was completed on July 1, 2010. Loyalty Segment EBITDA increased $4.3 million in the second quarter, from $6.6 million to $10.9 million, or 65.2%, primarily due to the Connexions acquisition.

International:

International revenue increased $15.7 million, from $57.6 million to $73.3 million, or 27.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010 as $15.3 million in revenue contributed from Webloyalty and a $5.9 million favorable impact from foreign exchange more than offset lower revenues associated with recently renewed or expired package contracts. International Segment EBITDA increased $4.2 million, from $5.6 million to $9.8 million, or 75.0%, due primarily to the same factors that affected revenue, with the exception of foreign exchange, which had an immaterial impact to EBITDA.

Selected Liquidity Data

Affinion Group, Inc.

Affinion has several debt instruments outstanding, including senior notes, senior subordinated notes, and senior secured credit facilities, which consist of a term loan facility and revolving credit facility. For a more complete description of Affinion’s debt instruments at June 30, 2011, see the note in Table 2.

At June 30, 2011, Affinion had $471.7 million outstanding under the senior notes (net of discounts and premiums), $1,112.8 million outstanding under its term loan facility, and $353.2 million outstanding under the senior subordinated notes (net of discounts).

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $76.8 million of unrestricted cash on hand.

Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.

At June 30, 2011, Holdings had $321.0 million outstanding under the senior notes (net of discounts and premiums) due in 2015, and $115.7 million of unrestricted cash on hand.

The conference call will be broadcast live and can be accessed by dialing 1-866-394-8483 (domestic) or 1-706-758-1455 (international) and entering passcode 82921711.

Important Notes

The transaction with Webloyalty has resulted in certain adjustments related to purchase accounting, which affected the revenue and Segment EBITDA contributed from Webloyalty. For example, because Webloyalty’s deferred revenues were reduced as a result of purchase accounting, the net revenues recognized by the Company are less than they otherwise would have been. While the effect of these purchase accounting adjustments on the Company’s aggregate second quarter results was insignificant, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, net revenues and Segment EBITDA were decreased by $13.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively.

The information presented in this release is a comparison of the unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 to the unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

(“Holdings”), as described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. As part of the financing for the Transactions, Affinion (a) issued $270.0 million in principal amount of 10 1/8% senior notes maturing on October 15, 2013 ($266.4 million net of discount), (b) entered into senior secured credit facilities consisting of a term loan facility in the principal amount of $860.0 million and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, and (c) entered into a senior subordinated bridge loan facility in the principal amount of $383.6 million. On April 26, 2006, $349.5 million of principal borrowings under the senior subordinated bridge loan facility were repaid using the proceeds from a private offering of $355.5 million aggregate principal amount of 11 1/2% senior subordinated notes maturing on October 15, 2015. Subsequently, on May 3, 2006, the remaining $34.1 million of principal borrowings under the senior subordinated bridge loan facility were repaid using the proceeds from another private offering of $34.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10 1/8% senior notes maturing on October 15, 2013. The senior notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture dated as of October 17, 2005.

The net proceeds of the term loan facility were used in part to refinance our existing senior secured credit facility, with the remainder intended to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, such as Connexions, and investments. In November 2010, Affinion issued 7.875% senior notes and utilized the net proceeds to redeem the 10 1/8% senior notes issued in 2005, 2006 and 2009.

^(d)

Adjusted EBITDA consists of income from operations before depreciation and amortization further adjusted to exclude non-cash and unusual items and other adjustments permitted in our debt agreements to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of liquidity or financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or an indicator of operating performance.

^(e)

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Webloyalty, does not give pro forma effect to our acquisition of Webloyalty that was completed in the first quarter of 2011. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustment for Webloyalty as if such acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2010 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under the amended and restated senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our 7.875% senior notes and senior subordinated notes.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of income from operations before depreciation and amortization further adjusted to exclude non-cash and unusual items and other adjustments permitted in our debt agreements to test the permissibility of certain types of transactions, including debt incurrence. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of liquidity or financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as a alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of cash flows, as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to operating or net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or an indicator of operating performance.

^(e)

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Webloyalty, does not give pro forma effect to our acquisition of Webloyalty that was completed in the first quarter of 2011. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustment for Webloyalty as if such acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2010 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under Affinion’s amended and restated senior secured credit facility, the indentures governing Affinion's 7.875% senior notes and senior subordinated notes and the Affinion Holdings senior notes.

^(f)	Gives effect to the completion of the Webloyalty acquisition as if it had occurred on July 1, 2010.
