⁽¹⁾ Net of allowance.

⁽²⁾ Primarily includes individually insignificant accounts receivable recognized in the ordinary course of business, the allowances for which are individually insignificant.

Our accounts receivable are all due within one year of origination. We use delinquency status and economic factors as credit quality indicators to monitor our receivables within the scope of ASC 326 and use these as a basis for how we develop our expected loss estimates.

We sell VOIs on behalf of third-party developers using the Hilton Grand Vacations brand in exchange for sales, marketing and brand fees. We use historical losses and economic factors as a basis to develop our allowance for credit losses. Under these fee-for-service arrangements, we earn commission fees based on a percentage of total interval sales. Additionally, the terms include provisions requiring the reduction of fees earned for defaults and cancellations.

The changes in our allowance for fee-for-service commissions were as follows:

($ in millions)	December 31, 2020
Balance as of December 31, 2019	$	19
Current period provision for expected credit losses	7
Write-offs charged against the allowance		(8	)
Balance as of December 31, 2020	$	18
