(a) This amount includes approximately $472 million and $470 million, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, associated with a significant cash tax refund expected as a result of the CARES Act allowing entities to carry back 2020 losses to prior periods of up to five years, and claim refunds of federal taxes paid. These amounts also includes excise taxes remitted to taxing authorities for which the subsequent flights were canceled by Customers, resulting in amounts due back to the Company. See Note 15 for further information.
(b) In fourth quarter 2020, the Company received a $600 million prepayment from Chase for Rapid Rewards points that were subsequently issued to Members during the first half of 2021, based on cardholder activity on the Visa credit card associated with its loyalty program. This resulted in a reduction in cash receipts from Chase during 2021, which were classified within Accounts and other receivables in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(c) Represents amounts owed for aircraft deliveries received that will be relieved via future payments to supplier. See Note 17 for further information.

For further information on fuel derivative and interest rate derivative contracts, see Note 11.
