Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The minority partner in one of the Company’s existing merchant alliance joint ventures maintains a redeemable noncontrolling 1% interest which is presented outside of equity and carried at its estimated redemption value. The minority partner is entitled to a contractually determined share of the entity’s income, and the joint venture agreement contains redemption features whereby the interest held by the minority partner is redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control. The joint venture may be terminated by either party for convenience any time after December 31, 2024. In the event of termination for cause, as a result of a change in control, or for convenience after the predetermined date, the Company may be required to purchase the minority partner membership interest at a price equal to the fair market value of the minority interest through a distribution of cash, certain merchant contracts of the joint venture, or a combination thereof. In conjunction with the termination of the joint venture, the minority partner may also exercise an option to purchase certain additional merchant contracts at fair market value.
