STERLING, Va.--(Business Wire)--
N.E.W. Customer Service Companies, Inc. (NEW), the nation's leading provider of
extended service plans, buyer protection services and product support, was named
Supplier of the Year by Walmart`s Financial Services for the second year in a
row, during Walmart`s annual Financial Services Supplier Summit Meeting.

The award recognizes a Walmart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) supplier that exceeds
expectations in several categories, including responsiveness, growth
initiatives, exceptional customer service, parallel training, marketing and
civic initiatives, and overall commitment to excellence. NEW was specifically
recognized for its role in growing and expanding Walmart`s Product Care Plan
program with the launch of the first-to-market rapid replacement program - a
revolutionary solution that offers Walmart customers a way to replace failed
products in as little as 24 hours.

The news of the award was greeted with pride at NEW`s headquarters and contact
centers. "This is a highly coveted honor, to be recognized two years in a row by
such a valued retail partner," said Tony Nader, NEW president and CEO. "This
award speaks volumes about our ability to drive innovation, strengthen our
partner`s position in the marketplace and meet the evolving needs of the
customer. This could not have been done without the phenomenal team we have in
place and the great relationship we have built with Walmart."

was expanded to offer Product Care Plans online at www.walmart.com. In 2005, NEW
Product Care Plans were brought to Walmart stores. To date, NEW has trained more
