(a) In fourth quarter 2020, the Company received a $600 million prepayment from Chase for Rapid Rewards points expected to be purchased during 2021, based on cardholder activity on the Visa credit card associated with its loyalty program. During first quarter 2021, $323 million was reclassified to deferred revenue in Air Traffic liability--loyalty (including $106 million that would have been a receivable from business partners as of March 31, 2021), and the remainder is expected to be reclassified during second quarter 2021. (b) Both periods include approximately $470 million 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. This amount 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. For further information on fuel derivative and interest rate derivative contracts, see Note 4. Other Operating Expenses Other operating expenses consists of aircraft rentals, distribution costs, advertising expenses, personnel expenses, professional fees, and other operating costs, none of which individually exceeded 10 percent of Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
