Represents revenue earned from fees charged to merchants with whom the Company has entered into a card acceptance agreement for processing Card Member transactions. The discount fee generally is deducted from the Company's payment reimbursing the merchant for Card Member purchases. Such amounts are reduced by contra-revenue such as payments to third-party card issuing partners, cash-back reward costs, and corporate incentive payments.
