Note 1-DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We estimate losses on receivables based on known troubled accounts and historical experience of losses incurred.
Receivables are considered impaired and written-off when it is probable that all contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $153 million, $116 million, and $82 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Additions to the allowance were $172 million, $136 million, and $87 million, and deductions to the allowance were $135 million, $102 million, and $82 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and2011.
Accrued Expenses and Other
Included in "Accrued expenses and other" as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were liabilities of $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion for unredeemed gift cards. We reduce the liability for a gift card when redeemed by a customer. If a gift card is not redeemed, we recognize revenue when it expires or when the likelihood of its redemption becomes remote, generally two years from the date of issuance.
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the service period. Unearned revenue primarily relates to Amazon Prime memberships. Current unearned revenue is included in "Accrued expenses and other" and non-current unearned revenue is included in "Long-term liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Current unearned revenue was $1,159 million and $792 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Non-current unearned revenue was $87 million and $34 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
