Line of Credit Facility [Abstract]
Schedule of Line of Credit Facilities [Table Text Block]	Note 6. Credit Facilities Our $500 million, five-year, unsecured revolving credit Facility, which is scheduled to expire in April 2016, is available for general corporate purposes including working capital, trade letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. The Facility fees fluctuate based on our long-term senior unsecured credit ratings and our leverage ratio. If we were to draw on the Facility, interest would be a base rate (typically LIBOR) plus a margin based on our long-term senior unsecured credit ratings and our leverage ratio on the unpaid principal amount. To maintain availability of funds under the Facility, we pay a facility fee on the full facility amount, regardless of usage. As of February 2, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Facility. The net availability of the Facility, reflecting $30 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, was $470 million as of February 2, 2013. In conjunction with our financings in April 2011, we obtained long-term senior unsecured credit ratings from Moody’s and Fitch. Moody’s assigned a rating of Baa3, and Fitch assigned a rating of BBB-. Standard & Poor’s continued to rate us BB+. As of February 2, 2013, there were no changes in these credit ratings. Any future reduction in the Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s ratings would increase any future interest expense if we were to draw on the Facility. The China Facilities are two separate agreements to make unsecured revolving credit facilities available for our operations in China; they are uncommitted and are available for borrowings, overdraft borrowings, and the issuance of bank guarantees. The 196 million Chinese yuan China Facilities expired in October 2012 and they were subsequently renewed with an increased availability of 250 million Chinese yuan ($40 million as of February 2, 2013) and no expiration date. As of February 2, 2013, there were no borrowings under the China Facilities. There were 24 million Chinese yuan ($4 million as of February 2, 2013) in bank guarantees related to store leases under the China Facilities as of February 2, 2013. The China Facility agreements do not contain any financial covenants. As of January 28, 2012, there were borrowings of $19 million under the China Facilities, which were recorded in current maturities of debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Trade letters of credit represent a payment undertaking guaranteed by a bank on our behalf to pay a vendor a given amount of money upon presentation of specific documents demonstrating that merchandise has shipped. Vendor payables are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of merchandise title transfer, although the letters of credit are generally issued prior to the title transfer. As of February 2, 2013, we had a $50 million, two-year, unsecured letter of credit agreement with an expiration date of September 2014. As of February 2, 2013, we had no material trade letters of credit issued under this letter of credit agreement. The Facility and letter of credit agreement contain financial and other covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on liens and subsidiary debt, as well as the maintenance of two financial ratios—a minimum annual fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.00 and a maximum annual leverage ratio of 2.25. As of February 2, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants. Violation of these covenants could result in a default under the Facility and letter of credit agreement, which would permit the participating banks to terminate our ability to access the Facility for letters of credit and advances, terminate our ability to request letters of credit under the letter of credit agreement, require the immediate repayment of any outstanding advances under the Facility, and require the immediate posting of cash collateral in support of any outstanding letters of credit under the letter of credit agreement.
