(1) Gift cards and certain consumer credits can be redeemed through the Marketplaces. When they are redeemed, revenue is recognized on a net basis as the difference between the amounts collected from consumers less amounts remitted to merchants and Dashers for those transactions. Therefore, the amount recognized as revenue related to the reduction of gift cards and certain consumer credits is less than the amount presented in the table above. Net revenue associated with gift cards and certain consumer credits is not tracked by the Company as it is impracticable to do so.
(2) Included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities was $181 million associated with unearned prepayments received by the Company, of which $163 million was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The ending balance of unearned prepayments is expected to be recognized as revenue in 12 months or less.
