(1888PressRelease) July 26, 2007 - Harrison, N.Y. – Cable television and internet providers can improve customer acquisition and retention by offering on-line travel and entertainment values to their customers.

The service offered nationally by CBSI, a long standing provider of special benefit programs to the consumer banking industry, provides subscribers with access to an extensive on-line database of special values at hundreds of thousands of restaurants, retail shops, golf courses, movies, hotels, car rentals, and airlines.

Retail establishments will be ranked by distance from the zip code entered by the customer. Several levels of restaurants ranging from fine dining to local fast food are provided.
