         RE:   REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3 (333-90448) OF USA
               INTERACTIVE FILED ON JUNE 13, 2002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         USA Interactive ("USA") hereby requests withdrawal of the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (333-90448) filed by USA on June 13, 2002
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

         In accordance with Rule 477 promulgated pursuant the Securities Act
of 1933, USA confirms that no securities of USA were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement.  Effectiveness of the Registration Statement has not
been granted.  The grounds on which USA makes this application are that there
is no longer a present intention to offer or sell the securities under the
Registration Statement.

         Please contact the undersigned (tel. 212-314-7230) or our counsel,
J. D. Weinberg of Covington & Burling (tel. 212-841-1037), should you have
any questions regarding the foregoing.

                                               Very truly yours,

                                               USA INTERACTIVE
