                USCS INTERNATIONAL COMMENTS ON TCI ANNOUNCEMENT


     RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., August 11, 1997 - USCS International, Inc. 
(Nasdaq:USCS) today reported that it received notification from 
Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) after the stock market opening that a 
competitive bid had been chosen by affiliates of TCI for a 15-year customer 
management contract and the purchase of the SUMMITrak assets. SUMMITrak is an 
in-house customer care and billing system in beta test by affiliates of TCI.

     "As previously reported, we have been planning for a migration of TCI's 
U.S. subscribers to the SUMMITrak system," stated Dr. James Castle, chairman 
and chief executive officer of USCS. "We, along with several other companies, 
have been in disussions with TCI regarding the potential sale of the 
SUMMITrak assets and the associated long term customer management contract. 
We made an attractive offer to TCI and we were told we would be notified of 
their decision at the close of business today. TCI's decision will not have 
an impact on our previously stated long term strategy to grow and diversify 
our customer and geographic base. We will continue to aggressively pursue 
business in the worldwide telecommunications market including U.S. cable. In 
addition, we have been expanding our presence in industries outside of our 
traditional telecommunications marketplace."

     Dr. Castle noted that for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, TCI 
and its affiliates represented approximately 18% of USCS International's 
total revenues. "It is important to note that we believe there will be a 
orderly transition of TCI subscribers over an extended period, thus reducing 
both the short and long term impact on our Company's financial performance,"
Dr. Castle concluded.
