In addition, the companies announced a separate agreement under which Trilegiant Marketing Services will market the AOL service through a number of distribution channels.

Barry Schuler, Chairman and CEO, America Online, said: "We've had a successful relationship since we began working with Cendant in 1997, and we're pleased to announce this new agreement with Trilegiant Corporation to enable the users of our brands to continue enjoying their popular membership services. We're also happy to expand our relationship to include Trilegiant Marketing Services becoming one of the partners who will join us in marketing the AOL service to reach potential new members."
