PRNewswire TROY, Mich. and DALLAS Nov. 3 :

Entertainment Publications—the world`s leading marketer of coupon
books, discounts and merchant promotions—and Hotels.com—the largest
specialized provider of discount lodging worldwide—have joined forces
to provide consumers with a superior hotel discount program. This new
program, a part of Entertainment`s overall Hotels at Half Price(R)
discount lodging offerings, provides Entertainment members with guaranteed
best rates at the more than 9,000 hotels that Hotels.com offers worldwide.

“For years, our customers have enjoyed significant savings on literally
millions of nights in hotels by using their Entertainment memberships,”
said Alan Bittker, Entertainment`s president and CEO. “Now, by adding the
properties Hotels.com offers to our program, we can take it even one step
further, providing members a guarantee that they`re getting the best rate
that they`ll find at any of our participating hotels.”

Here`s how it works:

Consumers who purchase any edition of the 2004 Entertainment(R) book or an
Entertainment online savings subscription and register their memberships
on entertainment.com will gain access to the significant discounts (up to
70 percent off regular rates) that Hotels.com offers at more than 9,000
lodging properties. Members have two ways to secure this lowest guaranteed
rate: by visiting entertainment.com or by calling 1-800-50-HOTEL.

“Hotels.com provides travelers with superior lodging product offerings at
the best guaranteed rates. By joining forces with Entertainment
Publications, we have added a significant distribution channel,” said Bob
Diener, president and co-founder of Hotels.com. “This strategic
partnership not only offers both companies an opportunity to share our
strengths but—more importantly—the synergies between our companies
provides Entertainment members with the very best travel values.”
