THE COMPANY GENERAL The Company is a membership-based consumer services company. The Company currently provides approximately 38 million consumers with access to a variety of services. The Company operates in one business segment, providing these services as individual, wholesale or discount coupon program memberships ("Memberships"). These Memberships include such components as shopping, travel, auto, dining, home improvement, vacation exchange, credit card and checking account enhancement packages, financial products and discount coupon programs. The Company also administers insurance package programs which are generally combined with discount shopping and travel and marketed primarily through financial institutions. The Company believes it is the leading provider of membership-based consumer services of these types in the United States. The Company's activities are conducted principally through its Comp-U-Card division and certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, FISI* Madison Financial Corporation, Benefit Consultants, Inc., Interval International Inc. and Entertainment Publications, Inc. The Company derives its revenues principally from membership fees. Membership fees vary depending upon the particular membership program, and annual fees to consumers generally range from $6 to $250 per year. Most of the Company's memberships are for one-year renewable terms, and members are generally entitled to unlimited use during the membership period of the service for which the member has subscribed. Members generally may cancel their membership and obtain a full refund at any point during the membership term. For a more detailed description of the business of the Company, see the description set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company's executive offices are located at 707 Summer Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, and its telephone number is (203) 324- 9261. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In September 1995, the Company effected a merger of Merger Sub and NAOG (the "Merger") pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. NAOG owns one of the largest private, for-profit hunting and general interest fishing membership organizations in America, the North American Hunting Club and the North American Fishing Club. In addition, NAOG owns a third club, the Handyman Club of America. The Company believes that the Merger enhances the Company's overall competitiveness by making available to it new products and new product lines. USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares will be received by the Selling Stockholders. NYFS01...:\01\39801\0018\1547\PRO9285S.09A SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The Selling Stockholders are former NAOG shareholders. The Shares were acquired by the Selling Stockholders in connection with the Merger. The following table provides the names and the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Selling Stockholder. Since the Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their Shares, no estimate can be made of the aggregate number of Shares that are to be offered hereby or that will be owned by each Selling Stockholder upon completion of the offering to which this Prospectus relates. The Shares offered by this Prospectus may be offered from time to time by the Selling Stockholders named below: Two of the Selling Stockholders, Steven F. Burke and John J.

The Selling Stockholders may effect sales of the Shares directly or by or through agents, brokers or dealers and the Shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods: (a) ordinary brokerage transactions, (b) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this Prospectus, and (c) in "block" sales. At the time a particular offer is made, a Prospectus Supplement, if required, will be distributed that sets forth the name or names of agents or broker-dealers, any commissions and other terms constituting compensation and any other required information. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by any Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers of the Shares may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers will receive commissions, concessions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers of the Shares in amounts to be negotiated prior to the sale. Sales will be made only through broker-dealers registered as such in a subject jurisdiction or in transactions exempt from such registration. The Company is required under the Registration Rights Agreement to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission), regarding the availability of current public information to the extent required to enable the Selling Stockholders to sell Shares without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule or regulation). In offering the Shares covered by this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in a sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders may be considered "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and the compensation of any broker/dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. As required by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has filed the Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, with respect to the sale of the Shares. CUC has agreed to use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for a period commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement and terminating twenty-four months after the Registration Statement is filed with the Commission. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. The Company will bear all of the costs of registering the Shares under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify each other and certain other parties for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the registration of the Shares. LEGAL MATTERS The legality of the Shares will be passed upon for the Company by Robert Tucker, Corporate Secretary. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements of CUC appearing in the Company's Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended January 31, 1995, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon included therein and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three-month periods ended April 30, 1995 and 1994 and the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, Ernst & Young LLP have reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report, included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 30, 1995 and July 31, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. The independent auditors are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by the auditors within the meaning of Section 7 and 11 of the Securities Act. No dealer, salesperson or other individual has been authorized to 1,498,888 SHARES give any information or to make any representation not contained in this Prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company or any Selling CUC INTERNATIONAL INC. Stockholder. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities offered hereby in any jurisdiction or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale made hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that the information contained herein is correct as of any date subsequent to the date COMMON STOCK hereof.

OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The registrant's By-Laws contains provisions that provide for indemnification of officers and directors and their heirs and distributees to the full extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Company and its officers, directors and controlling persons against certain liabilities. The registrant maintains policies insuring its officers and directors against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 4. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 5. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. 6. That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 7. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Stamford, State of Connecticut, on this 6th day of October, 1995.

We have examined copies of (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, each as amended to date; (iii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance of the Shares to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as described below); and (iv) the Agreement and Plan of Merger among CUC International Inc., Fresh Air Acquisition Corp. and North American Outdoor Group Inc., dated August 17, 1995 (the "Agreement and Plan of Merger"). We have also examined originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and such other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. In such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of all originals of such copies.
