Customer Loyalty Card Programs

We offer our customers various loyalty card programs. Customers that join these programs are entitled to various benefits, including discounts on purchases, during the membership period. Customers join some of these programs by paying an annual membership fee. For these programs, we recognize revenue as a component of net sales over the life of the membership period based on when the customer earns the benefits and when the fee is no longer refundable. We recognize costs we incur in connection with administering these programs as selling, general, and administrative expenses when incurred. Our loyalty card programs are more fully described in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Note 10. Customer Loyalty Card Programs” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011.
