Affinion Loyalty Group Launches 'The Rewards Shop'

    RICHMOND, Va., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Affinion Loyalty Group (ALG)
 recently launched The Rewards Shop, a best-in-class Web site where shoppers
 make purchases using rewards points instead of cash. The Rewards Shop
 allows businesses to differentiate their points-based loyalty programs and
 generate interest in not only travel rewards, but also in alternative
 rewards such as merchandise and entertainment.
     Through The Rewards Shop, businesses can enhance their customers'
 online redemption process by providing an easy, familiar shopping
 experience. The Web site is comparable to the most competitive mainstream
 e-commerce stores with best-in-class features such as advanced search
 functionality, extensive categories and items, and robust shipping options.
     "More than 627 million people are making purchases online and this
 number continues to increase. The Web sites consumers are most likely to
 buy from are those that are easy to use and offer an extensive selection,"
 said Bobby Greenberg, vice president of marketing for ALG.
     "With this in mind, The Rewards Shop was designed to make it easy for
 customers to find and redeem for the items they want," Greenberg said.
     The Rewards Shop is fully branded with the business' name, logo and
 colors as a constant reminder to their customers that earning points
 through their rewards program means getting the products they want. It
 provides businesses with the flexibility to offer their customers such
 features as purchasing additional points when redeeming for an item, the
 option to select rush delivery on certain items or send items to an
 alternate shipping address, and contacting customer service via email. The
 Rewards Shop offers this functionality within a secure online shopping
 environment.
