"The reason I like the Access Card over other
coupon books is because I can use my Access Card multiple times. Once I know
the participating merchants, I can just show my card every time I go and save
money. I've saved over $1,500 this year on everything from restaurants to car
maintenance. "

"I just wanted to send out a little note to thank
John and the others who were instrumental in getting us our Access cards,
because I have saved so much money in the last few weeks by using my card. I
recently used the card to get a rental car in Seattle, Washington. I needed the
car for 5 days with unlimited miles and was able to secure it for $200. If I
wouldn't have used my card, it would have been between $600- $700.
"By using the website, I've been able to find savings in a variety of different
areas such as car rentals, hotel savings, plane tickets, food venues, movie
tickets, etc. and have saved myself and my family quite a bit of money by
identifying myself as an Access member. "

"Your program is far better than the Quest
program sold through J.C. Penney or Montgomery Ward. Your benefits are better,
and you have a lot more properties with hotel, recreation, golf, in addition to
the many other benefits that you offer. It’s better than any of the programs we
use to sell when I worked for a time share company."

"I recently had occasion, for the first time, to
use my Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] Membership. It worked like a
charm, securing us a relatively inexpensive room (for Las Vegas standards).
With pleasure, I renew for another year."

"I recently traveled to Portland Oregon and used
my Access card to get a discounted rate at Marriott Courtyard. What a surprise
to get a room for $49 that would have cost me $119 even with a Corporate
discount! I ended up staying extra nights.
Additionally, I frequently shop at GNC and am a complete movie fan. I've just
discovered that I can use my Access card for theaters and rentals as well!
I typically buy from my son's school promotions, however, never really utilize
what I buy. But the Access card is really worth the money I paid and is ending
up saving me, a single mom, a lot of money! Savings that will be contributed to
my son's college education!
Moving from Plano, Texas to Portland, Oregon in two weeks where, by the way, I
can still take advantage of the discounts! Great card! Thanks again!"

"I am writing you this letter to let you know you
have a wonderful product with the Great American Traveler [Hotel Access]
Membership Program. As a traveling salesman for skill Dynamics, an IBM Company,
I use GAT [Hotel Access] on a weekly basis throughout Michigan. When I make my
reservations I am amazed at the price differential between the IBM corporate
rate and the GAT [Hotel Access]. On average the savings between the GAT [Hotel
Access] rate and the IBM corporate rate is 33%."
"The hotels I stay in are excellent with great facilities (pools, whirlpools,
weight lifting rooms, and offer first class services.)"

"Just wanted you to know that we used your card
in Europe this year, in Switzerland. We saved $200 and had a fabulous room

"Travel is the name of my game. Being the
District Furniture Manager for KOGCO, a Manufacturers Rep Group out of Atlanta,
Georgia, I travel a territory including Alabama Tennessee, Mississippi and the
panhandle of Florida. I average 4 nights a week on the road, approximately 44
weeks a year which totals about 176 motel/hotel nights per year. I am able to
use the Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] Membership for approximately 75%
of my stays. This saves my company an average of $3,000 to $4,000 per year."
"I am happy to be able to save my company money, and I am just as happy to save
personally. This past summer my wife and I traveled to Hawaii to visit our son
who is stationed there with the U.S. Army. We stayed in Honolulu for 7 nights,
Kauai for 2 nights, and 1 night in Maui. Each night we had superb
accommodations in the Outrigger and Aston Hotel chains. On this trip alone we
saved about $600, and I might mention, with no hassles."

"We have seen a great response from the Access
program! We are pleased with the return on our investment. When we participate
next year we plan to use more of the features of the program and hope to reap
greater profits by doing so.
One of the features we really appreciate is that our discount is not available
to the public. Since the discounts are only available to specific associations
and businesses, it doesn't affect our retail pricing structure. We believe that
business is about relationships and Access has given us the opportunity to
build affinity with local companies and associations."

"The Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] and
the Merchant Access program have been a great deal for our hotel. As well as
helping us increase our occupancy, a local company booked a holiday party on a
weekday through the program. We would not have these opportunities without
Merchant Access."

"We've been working with Access for several years
and have been very pleased with the services they've provided, from layout and
design to production and printing. They've been able to combine our benefits
with their benefits and develop a really nice package. They deliver it on time
and where we need it."

"All of us at AAA Fair Credit Foundation want
to express our thanks for all the help and service you have given us since we
started using the benefits offered by Access. You have been extremely helpful
in discussing our needs for our employees and clients. We have used the
benefits offered through Access for our company golf tournament at Stonebridge
golf Course and also for our company Christmas Party that was held at the
Airport Hilton. Using these benefits not only saved us a lot of money, but also
gave us the opportunity to reward our employees. Employees are constantly
telling me how they saved money on hotels, food, entertainment, oil changes or
whatever by using their employee Access card. Having the benefits tied to our
employee Web site has saved me a lot of time having to post news or upcoming
events. Thanks again for all your help. I thank you for the great service and
our employees thank you for saving them money."

"This offer is different from other offers
because our logo is put right on the product and we have control of the
content. I look at this as a powerful premium, also an avenue for long-term
relationships. Besides, it's half the price of other offers."

"In the vast sea of Internet home pages, there
are few company sites which stand above the rest. Access Development has
created one of those sites that has taken the Internet to a new level. Through
innovative use of databases to create dynamic Web sites, they now allow
organizations to disseminate large amounts of information to their users. This
is one of the most creative uses of the Internet that I have ever seen. And I
have seen a lot!"

"Access gives me complete control over my
Employee Web site. I like being able to sit at my computer and add information
that is available to my employees 24/7. They can access vital information from
home or the office via the Internet."
"I was surprised by how easy it is to maintain our Employee Web
site. My staff learned to use this tool with ease and they are able to maintain
all of our information without my direction. Our Access site is nearly
maintenance-free. Obsolete information is automatically deleted from our site
without our intervention. We don't have to worry about removing out-dated
newsletters or I fixing links or any of the typical headaches associated with
Web sites."
"Our employees enjoy the savings benefits offered by Access.
Access took the time to survey our employees and contract with a number of
merchants adjacent to our business. We feel that giving employees savings
opportunities has as much impact as giving them a pay increase."
