In 2013, we sold Hilton Honors points to issuers of Hilton Honors co-branded credit cards and recorded deferred revenue upon receipt of the cash. The deferred revenue balance is reduced, and revenue is recognized, as the issuers use the points for promotions, rewards and incentive programs and certain other activities.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for deferred revenues at the end of the reporting period, and description and amounts of significant changes that occurred during the reporting period. Deferred revenue is a liability as of the balance sheet date related to a revenue producing activity for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Generally, an entity records deferred revenue when it receives consideration from a customer before achieving certain criteria that must be met for revenue to be recognized in conformity with GAAP.
