AFFINION GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER

ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

ACHIEVES REVENUE GROWTH IN ALL SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIES

ADJUSTED LTM EBITDA AT $335.5 MILLION

STAMFORD, Conn., October 27, 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 September 30, 2011 (“third quarter”) for both Affinion and its parent company, Affinion Group Holdings, Inc. (“Affinion Holdings”).

“Given the uncertainties that have been affecting the global economy these past few months, we are pleased to have delivered, for the first time in nearly three years, quarter-over-quarter revenue growth across all of our key product categories and geographies,” said Nathaniel J. Lipman, Affinion’s Chief Executive Officer. “Thus far in 2011, we have invested nearly $50 million more in marketing and commissions as compared to 2010, which has driven a strong top line and, as expected, also reduced the rate of growth in Adjusted EBITDA over the first three quarters of the year.”

“Over the balance of the year, we continue to expect significant growth in our fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA as compared to 2010,” continued Lipman. “However, delays in the launching of new programs with our European financial institution partners, particularly in package services, will cause our International EBITDA contribution to be less than we had expected at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, because of strength across the rest of the business, we still expect to achieve our $365 to $385 million guidance, albeit at the lower end of the range.”

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 product segments, 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 related to the Webloyalty transaction.

Results Highlights

Third Quarter Net Revenues

•

Net revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $394.7 million as compared to $346.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, reflecting an increase of 13.9%.

•

Revenue grew in both North American and International products, as well as in all product segments, as compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Third Quarter Operating Results

•

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note (d) of Table 6) was $88.9 million as compared to $84.0 million for the third quarter of 2010.

•

Segment EBITDA was $67.5 million as compared to $77.2 million for the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $9.7 million, or 12.6%, as $24.9 million in higher marketing and commission expense more than offset the contribution from Webloyalty.

•

As compared to Adjusted EBITDA, 2011 Segment EBITDA reflects the inclusion of, among other items, $3.9 million of costs associated with the closure of a Webloyalty facility and other integration costs related to acquisitions, $2.4 million of stock compensation expense, and $1.8 million of foreign exchange losses on intercompany borrowings.

Segment Commentary

North America:

Membership products revenue increased $25.6 million, from $171.7 million to $197.3 million, or 14.9%, as compared to the third quarter of 2010. Net Membership revenues increased primarily due to $21.5 million in revenue contributed from the Webloyalty and Prospectiv acquisitions. Membership Segment EBITDA decreased $10.0 million, from $34.7 million to $24.7 million, or 28.8%, as compared to the third quarter of 2010, as $5.6 million from the contribution of Webloyalty was more than offset by 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 was essentially flat as compared to the third quarter of 2010 at $87.2 million, as higher average revenue per insured and a lower cost of insurance were largely offset by lower package revenue. Insurance and Package Segment EBITDA increased $3.3 million in the third quarter, from $24.6 million to $27.9 million, or 13.4%, primarily due to lower marketing and commission expense.

Loyalty products revenue increased $4.7 million, from $30.1 million to $34.8 million, or 15.6%, as compared to the third quarter of 2010, due to the launch of new programs with both new and existing clients. Loyalty Segment EBITDA increased $0.9 million in the third quarter, from $10.0 million to $10.9 million, or 9.0%, as the revenue generated from the new programs was only partially offset by the associated product and servicing costs.

International:

International revenue increased $17.8 million, from $58.5 million to $76.3 million, or 30.4%, as compared to the third quarter of 2010 as $15.3 million in revenue contributed from Webloyalty and a $3.8 million favorable impact from foreign exchange more than offset lower revenues associated with a change in deal structure with a key client from retail to wholesale. International Segment EBITDA increased $1.8 million, from $7.8 million to $9.6 million, or 23.1%, as higher marketing and commissions were more than offset by the contributions from Webloyalty.

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 September 30, 2011, see the note in Table 2.

At September 30, 2011, Affinion had $471.8 million outstanding under the senior notes (net of discounts), $1,110.0 million outstanding under its term loan facility, and $353.4 million outstanding under the senior subordinated notes (net of discounts).

At September 30, 2011, the Company had $65.5 million of unrestricted cash on hand.

Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.

At September 30, 2011, Affinion Holdings had $321.2 million outstanding under the senior notes (net of discounts) due in 2015, in addition to Affinion’s debt instruments, and $104.4 million of unrestricted cash on hand.

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 third quarter results was insignificant, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, net revenues and Segment EBITDA were decreased by $12.7 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

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

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.

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.

^(a)	Represents consolidated financial data for the year ended December 31, 2010, minus consolidated financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, plus consolidated financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

^(b)	Eliminates the effect of the Apollo Transactions and purchase accounting related to the Webloyalty acquisition, legal costs for certain legal matters and costs associated with severance incurred.

^(c)	Eliminates (i) net changes in certain reserves, (ii) foreign currency gains and losses related to unusual, non-recurring intercompany transactions, (iii) the loss from an investment accounted for under the equity method, (iv) costs related to acquisitions and (v) consulting fees paid to Apollo.

^(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 and Prospectiv, does not give pro forma effect to our acquisition of (i) Webloyalty that was completed in the first quarter of 2011 and (ii) Prospectiv Direct, Inc. (“Prospectiv”), an online performance marketer and operator of one of the leading daily deal websites in the United States, that was completed in the third quarter of 2011. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustment for Webloyalty and Prospectiv as if such acquisitions had occurred on October 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.

^(f)	Gives effect to the completion of the Webloyalty and Prospectiv acquisitions as if they had occurred on October 1, 2010.

^(g)	Adjusted EBITDA, including Webloyalty and Prospectiv, gives pro forma effect to our acquisition of (i) Webloyalty that was completed in the first quarter of 2011 and (ii) Prospectiv that was completed in the third quarter of 2011 as if such acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2010.

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 and Prospectiv, does not give pro forma effect to our acquisition of (i) Webloyalty that was completed in the first quarter of 2011 and (ii) Prospectiv that was completed in the third quarter of 2011. However, we do make such accretive pro forma adjustment for Webloyalty and Prospectiv as if such acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2010 in calculating the Adjusted EBITDA under Affinion’s amended and restated senior secured credit facility and 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 and Prospectiv acquisitions as if they had occurred on October 1, 2010.

^(g)	Adjusted EBITDA, including Webloyalty and Prospectiv, gives pro forma effect to our acquisition of (i) Webloyalty that was completed in the first quarter of 2011 and (ii) Prospectiv that was completed in the third quarter of 2011 as if such acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2010.
