These credit cards are issued by a third-party bank (the &#x201C;Bank&#x201D;) in accordance with a credit card agreement (&#x201C;the Agreement&#x201D;). The Company has no liability to the Bank for bad debt expense, provided that purchases are made in accordance with the Bank&#x2019;s procedures. We receive cash from the Bank in accordance with the Agreement and based on card activity.&#xA0;We recognize revenue for such cash receipts when the amounts are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The revenue is recorded in other revenue, which is a component of total net revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Once a customer is approved to receive the AEO Visa Card or the AEO Credit Card and the card is activated, the customer is eligible to participate in the credit card rewards program. Customers who make purchases at AEO and aerie earn discounts in the form of savings certificates when certain purchase levels are reached. Also, AEO Visa Card customers who make purchases at other retailers where the card is accepted earn additional discounts. Savings certificates are valid for 90 days from issuance.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px"> &#xA0;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Points earned under the credit card rewards program on purchases at AEO and aerie are accounted for by analogy to ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, <i>Multiple Element Arrangements</i> (&#x201C;ASC 605-25&#x201D;).&#xA0;The Company believes that points earned under its point and loyalty programs represent deliverables in a multiple element arrangement rather than a rebate or refund of cash.&#xA0;Accordingly, the portion of the sales revenue attributed to the award points is deferred and recognized when the award is redeemed or when the points expire. Additionally, credit card reward points earned on non-AEO or aerie purchases are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25.&#xA0;As the points are earned, a current liability is recorded for the estimated cost of the award, and the impact of adjustments is recorded in cost of sales.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The Company offers its customers the AEREWARDS<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"><sup style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex">&#xAE;</sup></font> loyalty program (the &#x201C;Program&#x201D;).&#xA0;Under the Program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity and earn rewards by reaching certain point thresholds during three-month earning periods. Rewards earned during these periods are valid through the stated expiration date, which is approximately one month from the mailing date of the reward. These rewards can be redeemed for a discount on a purchase of merchandise. Rewards not redeemed during the one-month redemption period are forfeited.&#xA0;The Company determined that rewards earned using the Program should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25.&#xA0;Accordingly, the portion of the sales revenue attributed to the award credits is deferred and recognized when the awards are redeemed or expire.</font></p> </div>
