(a)For corporate accounts, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member’s billing statement date. In addition, if we initiate collection procedures on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card Member loan or receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. These amounts are shown above as 90+ Days Past Due for presentation purposes. See also (b). (b)Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. Therefore, such data has not been utilized for risk management purposes. The balances that are current to 89 days past due can be derived as the difference between the Total and the 90+ Days Past Due balances. (c)Our policy is generally to accrue interest through the date of write-off (typically 180 days past due). We establish reserves for interest that we believe will not be collected. (d)Non-accrual loans primarily include certain loans placed with outside collection agencies for which we have ceased accruing interest. Credit Quality Indicators for Card Member Loans and Receivables The following tables present the key credit quality indicators as of or for the nine months ended September 30:
|  | 2023 |  | 2022
| Net Write-Off Rate |  |  |  | Net Write-Off Rate |  |
| Principal Only (a) |  | Principal, Interest & Fees (a) |  | 30+ Days Past Due as a % of Total |  | Principal Only (a) |  | Principal, Interest & Fees (a) |  | 30+ Days Past Due as a % of Total
Card Member Loans: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Consumer |  | 1.7 | % |  | 2.1 | % |  | 1.3 | % |  | 0.9 | % |  | 1.1 | % |  | 0.9 | %
Small Business |  | 1.5 | % |  | 1.8 | % |  | 1.3 | % |  | 0.6 | % |  | 0.7 | % |  | 0.7 | %
Card Member Receivables: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Consumer |  | 1.6 | % |  | 1.7 | % |  | 1.0 | % |  | 0.7 | % |  | 0.8 | % |  | 1.0 | %
Small Business |  | 2.3 | % |  | 2.4 | % |  | 1.3 | % |  | 0.9 | % |  | 1.0 | % |  | 1.3 | %
Corporate |  | (b) |  | 0.6 | % |  | (c) |  | (b) |  | 0.3 | % |  | (c)
(a)We present a net write-off rate based on principal losses only (i.e., excluding interest and/or fees) to be consistent with industry convention. In addition, as our practice is to include uncollectible interest and/or fees as part of our total provision for credit losses, a net write-off rate including principal, interest and/or fees is also presented. (b)Net write-off rate based on principal losses only is not available due to system constraints. (c)For corporate receivables, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. Delinquency data for periods other than 90+ days past billing is not available due to system constraints. 90+ days past billing as a % of total was 0.5% and 0.6% as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 3 for additional indicators, including external qualitative factors, management considers in its evaluation process for reserves for credit losses. Loans and Receivables Restructurings for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty Effective January 1, 2023, we prospectively adopted Accounting Standards Update 2022-02 guidance that eliminated the recognition and measurement of TDRs. Following the adoption of this guidance, we evaluate all loans and receivables restructurings according to the accounting guidance for loan refinancing and restructuring to determine whether such loan modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. Our loans and receivables restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan, which reflects the ongoing effort to support our customer and recover our investment in the existing loan. We offer several types of loans and receivables modification programs to customers experiencing financial difficulty. In such instances, we may modify loans and receivables with the intention to minimize losses and improve collectability, while providing customers with temporary or permanent financial relief. Such modifications to the loans and receivables primarily include (i) temporary interest rate reductions (reducing interest rates to as low as zero percent, in which case the loan is characterized as non-accrual), and/or (ii) placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not to exceed 60 months. Upon entering the modification program, the customer’s ability to make future purchases is limited, canceled or, in certain cases, suspended until the customer successfully exits from the modification program. As of September 30, 2023, we had $48 million of unused credit available to customers with loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In accordance with the modification agreement with the customer, loans and/or receivables may revert to the original contractual terms (including the contractual interest rate where applicable) when the customer exits the modification program, which is either (i) when all payments have been made in accordance with the modification agreement or (ii) when the customer defaults out of the modification program. The following table provides information relating to loans and receivables modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Troubled Debt Restructuring Disclosures Prior to Our Adoption of ASU 2022-02 Prior to our adoption of ASU 2022-02, we accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. Loans that were classified as a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 will continue to be accounted for under the historical TDR accounting until the loan is entirely paid off or written off.
