1,498,888 SHARES

CUC INTERNATIONAL INC.
COMMON STOCK
($.01 PAR VALUE PER SHARE)
-----------------------
The 1,498,888 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, $.01 par
value per share ("Common Stock"), of CUC International Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("CUC" or the "Company"), may be offered for sale
from time to time by and for the account of certain stockholders of
the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"). See "Selling Stockholders."
The Selling Stockholders acquired the Shares in connection with the
merger of Fresh Air Acquisition Corp., a Minnesota corporation and a
direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), with
and into North American Outdoor Group, Inc., a Minnesota corporation
("NAOG"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August
17, 1995, as amended on September 1, 1995, by and among the Company,
Merger Sub and NAOG (the "Merger Agreement"). The Company is
registering the Shares as required by an Investment and Registration
Rights Agreement, dated September 18, 1995, by and among the Company
and the former NAOG stockholders (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"). The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from
the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders, but has agreed to
bear all the expenses of registration of the Shares. See "Plan of
Distribution."
The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbol "CU." On December 6, 1995, the last reported sale price of
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $34.50 per share.
The Selling Stockholders, or their transferees, from time to time
may offer and sell the Shares directly or through agents or broker-
dealers on terms to be determined at the time of sale. To the extent
required, the names of any agents or broker-dealers, and applicable
commissions or discounts and any other required information with
respect to any particular offer, will be set forth in an accompanying
Prospectus Supplement. See "Plan of Distribution."
The Selling Stockholders and any agents or broker-dealers that
participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the
Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and, in
such event, any commissions received by them and any profit on the
resale of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution" herein
for a description of certain indemnification arrangements among the
Company and the Selling Stockholders.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION
NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS DECEMBER 8, 1995.

THE COMPANY
GENERAL
The Company is a membership-based consumer services company,
providing consumers with access to a variety of services. The Company
currently has approximately 40 million members in its various
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 generally
are combined with discount shopping and travel for credit union
members and bank account holders. 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 generally are 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.
In January 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Essex Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Essex") in
exchange for the payment of cash and the issuance of shares of Common
Stock. The former shareholders of Essex may receive additional
payments over the three years next following the closing date of the
acquisition based on the achievement of certain earnings growth
objectives. Based on projections of the earnings growth of Essex
prepared by management of the Company and the earn-out formula
contained in the definitive stock purchase agreement pursuant to which
the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Essex,
management of the Company believes that payments to such shareholders
aggregating in excess of $30 million would be extremely remote.
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 June 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of the Getko Group Inc. ("Getko") for approximately 3,700,000
shares of Common Stock. The acquisition of Getko was accounted for as
a pooling-of-interests.
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.
On October 17, 1995, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Retreat Acquisition Corporation ("Retreat"), entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Advance Ross Corporation ("Advance Ross")
pursuant to which the Company, Retreat and Advance Ross plan to
consummate a merger (the "Advance Ross Merger") in which Retreat shall
be merged with and into Advance Ross. In the Advance Ross Merger,
each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Advance Ross
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Advance Ross Merger will by virtue of the Advance Ross Merger be
converted into five-sixths (5/6) of one share of Common Stock, subject
to certain adjustments. In addition, all shares of 5% Cumulative
Preferred Stock, $25 par value, of Advance Ross issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Advance Ross Merger
will be converted in the Advance Ross Merger into shares of Common
Stock having a value equal to the liquidation preference of such
shares, subject to the obligation of Advance Ross to redeem such
shares under certain circumstances in lieu of such conversion. The
consummation of the Advance Ross Merger is subject to certain
customary closing conditions, including the approval of the holders of
Advance Ross common stock. This transaction will be accounted for
under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and is expected to
be completed during January 1996.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance
sheet as of October 31, 1995 and the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of income for the years ended January 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993 and for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995
give effect to the intended conversion of the outstanding shares of
Advance Ross common stock into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion
ratio of five-sixths (5/6) of one share of Common Stock for each
outstanding share of Advance Ross common stock, as if the transaction
had occurred on October 31, 1995. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of income for the years ended January 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993 also give effect to the September 17, 1995 conversion of
the outstanding shares of NAOG common stock into shares of Common
Stock, at a conversion ratio of 1.77 shares of Common Stock for each
outstanding share of NAOG common stock, and to the June 27, 1995
conversion of the outstanding shares of Getko common stock into shares
of Common Stock, at a conversion ratio of 3.25 shares of Common Stock
for each outstanding share of Getko common stock, as these amounts
were previously excluded from the Company's historical financial
statements due to their insignificance. NAOG and Getko are referred
to in the unaudited pro forma financial statements as "Other Pooled
Entities." The pro forma information gives effect to these
transactions under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and
the adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
During the nine month period ended October 31, 1995, the Company
completed various acquisitions accounted for in accordance with the
purchase method of accounting which, in the aggregate, were not
significant and, therefore, are not included in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred
if the above acquisitions had been consummated as of the dates
indicated or the
operating results which may be obtained by the Company in the future.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto of the Company, which are incorporated herein by reference.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(a) At the effective time of the Advance Ross Merger, each share of
Advance Ross common stock will be converted into shares of Common
Stock at a conversion rate of five-sixths (5/6) of one share of
Common Stock for each outstanding share of Advance Ross common
stock and each share of Advance Ross preferred stock will be
converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) $27.50 per share of Advance
Ross preferred stock plus all accumulated, accrued and unpaid
dividends in respect of each such share by (y) the weighted
average price of a share of Common Stock over a certain period
prior to that time. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements assume that all outstanding shares of
Advance Ross common stock (7,075,370 shares as of October 31,
1995) and that all outstanding shares of Advance Ross preferred
stock (16,923 shares as of October 31, 1995) will be converted
and approximately 5.9 million shares of Common Stock will be
issued. The effect of this transaction, accounted for in
accordance with the pooling-of-interests method of accounting,
was to increase Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, by
$59,000 and additional paid in capital by approximately $1.4
million and to eliminate Advance Ross common stock, Advance Ross
preferred stock and Advance Ross treasury stock.
(b) The pro forma information is based on the historical financial
statements of Advance Ross contained in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, the historical
financial statements of NAOG contained in its audited financial
statements for each of the three years ended December 31, 1994,
the historical financial statements of Getko contained in its
audited financial statements for each of the three years ended
November 30, 1994, and the quarterly financial information of
Advance Ross for the nine-month period ended October 31, 1995.
The December 31, 1994 historical financial statements of NAOG and
the November 30, 1994 historical financial statements of Getko
have been adjusted to conform with the Company's January 31, 1995
fiscal year end.
(c) Income per share from continuing operations has been computed
based upon the combined weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding of the Company,
Advance Ross, NAOG and Getko for each period. Historical
weighted average common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding of Advance Ross, NAOG and Getko for each period have
been adjusted to reflect the applicable exchange ratios and the
shares of Common Stock to be exchanged for Advance Ross preferred
stock. In addition, the weighted average number of common and
dilutive equivalent shares outstanding has been adjusted for, and
gives effect to, in the case of Advance Ross common stock, the
2:1 split thereof effected on each of February 4, 1994 and
September 8, 1995 and, in the case of the Company, the 3:2 split
thereof effected on June 30, 1995.
(d) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
do not include costs and expenses associated with the Advance
Ross and NAOG transactions which are expected to approximate $5
million in the aggregate.
(e) Certain reclassifications were made to conform the historical
financial statements of Other Pooled Entities to those of the
Company.
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.
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:

TOTAL 1,498,888
Two of the Selling Stockholders, Steven F. Burke and John J.
Burke, have entered into employment agreements with NAOG, each dated
as of August 17, 1995.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders have advised the Company that the Shares
may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders, or their
transferees, on the New York Stock Exchange or any national securities
exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which shares of
Common Stock are then listed, or through negotiated transactions or
otherwise. The Shares will not be sold in an underwritten public
offering. The Shares will be sold at prices and on terms then
prevailing, at prices related to the then-current market price, or at
negotiated prices. 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.
In connection with the distribution of the Shares, the Selling
Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers.
In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in
short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging the positions they
assume with the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may
also sell the Shares short and redeliver the Shares to close out the
short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery
to the broker-dealer of the Shares. The Selling Stockholders may also
loan or pledge the Shares to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may
sell the Shares so loaned or upon a default the broker-dealer may
effect sales of the pledged shares. In addition to the foregoing, the
Selling Stockholders may enter into, from time to time, other types of
hedging transactions (subject to all restrictions that may be contained
in the Registration Rights Agreement).
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 1,498,888 SHARES

information or to make any
representation not contained
in this Prospectus and, if
given or made, such
information or
representation must not be CUC INTERNATIONAL INC.
relied upon as having been
authorized by the Company or
any Selling 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
hereof.

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. 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 Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of Stamford, State of Connecticut, on this 8th of December, 1995.
