Item 8.01     Other Events.

The following information relates to the credit card receivables owned by Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I and the related credit card accounts.  Some of the terms used herein are used as defined in the Glossary of Terms at the end of this Report.

Loss and Delinquency Experience

The following table sets forth the loss experience for cardholder payments on the credit card accounts for each of the periods shown on a cash basis.  The Net Loss percentage calculated for each period below is obtained by dividing Net Losses by the Average Principal Receivables Outstanding multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in the applicable calendar year and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the trust monthly reporting periods for the applicable period (366/366 for the year ended December 26, 2008, 365/365 for the year ended December 26, 2007 and 365/364 for the year ended December 26, 2006).

If accrued finance charge receivables that have been written off were included in losses, Net Losses would be higher as an absolute number and as a percentage of the average of principal and finance charge receivables outstanding during the periods indicated. Average Principal Receivables Outstanding is the average of principal receivables outstanding during the periods indicated. There can be no assurance that the loss experience for the receivables in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth below.

Loss Experience for the Accounts

(Dollars in Thousands)

Year Ended December 26, 2008 Year Ended December 26, 2007 Year Ended December 26, 2006

Average Principal Receivables Outstanding	$76,956,779	$73,675,752	$74,357,999
Gross Charge-Offs	$5,182,543	$3,577,964	$3,210,534
Recoveries	$569,718	$670,501	$667,587
Net Losses	$4,612,825	$2,907,463	$2,542,947
Net Losses as a Percentage of Average Principal Receivables Outstanding	5.99%	3.95%	3.43%

Net losses as a percentage of gross charge-offs for each of the years ended December 26, 2008, December 26, 2007 and December 26, 2006 were 89.01%, 81.26% and 79.21%, respectively.  Gross charge-offs are charge-offs before recoveries and do not include the amount of any reductions in Average Principal Receivables Outstanding due to fraud, returned goods, customer disputes or various other miscellaneous write-offs.  During the 36 trust monthly reporting periods from January 2006 through December 2008, such reductions ranged from 0.71% to 1.97% of the outstanding principal receivables as of the end of the related trust monthly reporting period.  The reduction of receivables in this manner reduces only the seller's interest in the master trust. Recoveries are collections received in respect of principal receivables previously charged off as uncollectible. Net losses are gross charge-offs minus recoveries.

2

The following table sets forth the delinquency experience for cardholder payments on the credit card accounts as of each of the dates shown.  The Delinquent Amount includes both principal receivables and finance charge receivables. The percentages are the result of dividing the Delinquent Amount by the average of principal and finance charge receivables outstanding during the periods indicated. There can be no assurance that the delinquency experience for the receivables in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth below.

Delinquency Experience for the Accounts

(Dollars in Thousands)

As of December 28, 2008 As of December 30, 2007 As of December 31, 2006

Number of Days Delinquent	Delinquent Amount	Percentage	Delinquent Amount	Percentage	Delinquent Amount	Percentage
Up to 34 days	$2,707,226	3.49%	$2,485,572	3.34%	$2,207,754	2.94%
35 to 64 days	1,187,447	1.53	867,581	1.17	731,372	0.97
65 to 94 days	919,345	1.18	637,074	0.86	531,616	0.71
95 to 124 days	744,767	0.96	537,562	0.72	437,786	0.58
125 to 154 days	648,960	0.84	433,883	0.58	369,219	0.49
155 to 184 days	543,247	0.70	392,882	0.53	336,001	0.45
Total	$6,750,992	8.70%	$5,354,554	7.20%	$4,613,748	6.14%

The global financial and economic crisis has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on the assets of the master trust.  The current deep economic recession and rising unemployment have resulted in significant increases in net losses and delinquencies for 2008 compared to 2007, and Citibank (South Dakota) expects there will be further significant increases in net losses and delinquencies in future periods. If conditions in the general economy deteriorate more than expected, increases in net losses and delinquencies could be even more substantial.

 

Revenue Experience

The revenues for the credit card accounts from finance charges, fees paid by cardholders and interchange for each of the years ended December 26, 2008, December 26, 2007 and December 26, 2006 are set forth in the following table.  The revenue experience in this table is presented on a cash basis before deduction for charge-offs. Average Revenue Yield calculated for each period below is obtained by dividing Finance Charges and Fees Paid by Average Principal Receivables Outstanding multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in the applicable calendar year and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the trust monthly reporting periods for the applicable period (366/366 for the year ended December 26, 2008, 365/365 for the year ended December 26, 2007 and 365/364 for the year ended December 26, 2006).

Revenues from finance charges, fees and interchange will be affected by numerous factors, including the periodic finance charge on the credit card receivables, the amount of any annual membership fee, other fees paid by cardholders, the percentage of cardholders who pay off their balances in full each month and do not incur periodic finance charges on purchases, the percentage of credit card accounts bearing finance charges at promotional rates and changes in the level of delinquencies on the receivables.

Revenue Experience for the Accounts

(Dollars in Thousands)

	Year Ended December 26, 2008	Year Ended December 26, 2007	Year Ended December 26, 2006
Finance Charges and Fees Paid	$12,135,240	$12,870,801	$12,720,292
Average Revenue Yield	15.77%	17.47%	17.15%

The revenues from periodic finance charges and fees -- other than annual fees -- depend in part upon the collective preference of cardholders to use their credit cards as revolving debt instruments for purchases and cash advances and to pay account balances over several months -- as opposed to convenience use, where cardholders pay off their entire balance each month, thereby avoiding periodic finance charges on their purchases -- and upon other card-related services for which the cardholder pays a fee. Revenues from periodic finance charges and fees also depend on the types of charges and fees assessed on the credit card accounts. Accordingly, revenues will be affected by future changes in the types of charges and fees assessed on the accounts and in the types of additional accounts added from time to time. These revenues could be adversely affected by future changes in fees and charges assessed on the accounts and other factors.

Cardholder Monthly Payment Rates

The following table sets forth the highest and lowest cardholder monthly payment rates for the credit card accounts during any month in the periods shown and the average of the cardholder monthly payment rates for all months during the periods shown, in each case calculated as a percentage of the total beginning account balances for that month.

Monthly payment rates on the credit card receivables may vary because, among other things, a cardholder may fail to make a required payment, may only make the minimum required payment or may pay the entire outstanding balance. Monthly payment rates on the receivables may also vary due to seasonal purchasing and payment habits of cardholders. Monthly payment rates include amounts that are treated as payments of principal receivables and finance charge receivables with respect to the accounts under the pooling and servicing agreement. In addition, the amount of outstanding receivables and the rates of payments, delinquencies, charge-offs and new borrowings on the accounts depend on a variety of factors including seasonal variations, the availability of other sources of credit, general economic conditions, tax laws, consumer spending and borrowing patterns and the terms of the accounts, which may change.  Cardholder monthly payment rates are calculated on the balances of those cardholder accounts that have an amount due.  Cardholder accounts with a zero balance or a credit balance are excluded from these calculations.

For the monthly period ending December 28, 2008, 48.94% of the accounts had a credit balance or otherwise had no payment due, 20.62% of the cardholders paid their entire outstanding balance, 4.38% of the cardholders made only the minimum payment due, and the remaining 26.06% of the cardholders paid an amount greater than the minimum due, but less than the entire outstanding balance.

Cardholder Monthly Payment Rates for the Accounts

	Year Ended December 26, 2008	Year Ended December 26, 2007	Year Ended December 26, 2006
Lowest Month	16.93%	20.09%	20.21%
Highest Month	23.36%	24.14%	24.14%
Average of the Months in the Period	20.48%	22.20%	21.96%

Interchange

Credit card-issuing banks participating in the MasterCard International, VISA and American Express systems receive interchange or similar fee income – referred to herein as interchange – as compensation for performing issuer functions, including taking credit risk, absorbing certain fraud losses and funding receivables for a limited period before initial billing.  Under the MasterCard International, VISA and American Express systems, interchange in connection with cardholder charges for merchandise and services is passed from banks or other entities which clear the transactions for merchants to credit card-issuing banks.  Interchange ranges from approximately 1% to 2% of the transaction amount. Citibank (South Dakota) is required to transfer to the master trust interchange attributed to cardholder charges for merchandise and services in the accounts. In general, interchange is allocated to the master trust on the basis of the ratio that the amount of cardholder charges for merchandise and services in the accounts bears to the total amount of cardholder charges for merchandise and services in the portfolio of credit card accounts maintained by Citibank (South Dakota). MasterCard International, VISA and American Express may change the amount of interchange reimbursed to banks issuing their credit cards.

The Credit Card Receivables

The receivables in the credit card accounts designated to the master trust as of December 28, 2008 included $1,082,785,070 of finance charge receivables and $78,207,514,714 of principal receivables – which amounts include overdue finance charge receivables and overdue principal receivables. As of December 28, 2008, there were 36,224,075 accounts. Included within the accounts are inactive accounts that have no balance. The accounts had an average principal receivable balance of $2,159 and an average credit limit of $12,202. The average principal receivable balance in the accounts as a percentage of the average credit limit with respect to the accounts was approximately 18%. Approximately 89% of the accounts were opened before December 2006. Of the accounts, as of December 28, 2008, approximately the following percentages related to cardholders with billing addresses in the following states:

	Percentage of Total Number of Accounts	Percentage of Total Outstanding Receivables
California	13.63%	15.01%
New York	10.35%	9.37%
Texas	6.71%	8.11%
Florida	6.64%	6.59%
Illinois	5.10%	5.50%

5

Since the largest number of cardholders’ billing addresses were in California, New York, Texas, Florida and Illinois, adverse changes in the business or economic conditions in these states could have an adverse effect on the performance of the receivables.  No other state represents more than 5% of the number of accounts or outstanding receivables.

As of December 31, 2008, approximately 18% of the credit card receivables in the master trust related to credit cards issued under the Citibank/American Airlines AAdvantage co-brand program.  Cardholders in the AAdvantage program receive benefits for the amounts charged on their AAdvantage cards, including frequent flyer miles in American Airline's frequent traveler program. Conditions that adversely affect the airline industry or American Airlines could affect the usage and payment patterns of the AAdvantage program cards. In addition, termination of the AAdvantage program could have an adverse effect on the payment rates and excess spread reported by the master trust. However, we do not expect any such termination to affect the integrity or sustainability of master trust cash flows. As of December 31, 2008, no other co-brand or affinity program of Citibank (South Dakota) accounted for more than 1% of the credit card receivables in the master trust.

The credit card accounts include receivables which, in accordance with the servicer's normal servicing policies, were charged-off as uncollectible. However, for purposes of calculation of the amount of principal receivables and finance charge receivables in the master trust for any date, the balance of the charged-off receivables is zero and the master trust owns only the right to receive recoveries on these receivables.

The following tables summarize the credit card accounts designated to the master trust as of December 28, 2008 by various criteria. References to "Receivables Outstanding" in these tables include both finance charge receivables and principal receivables. Because the composition of the accounts will change in the future, these tables are not necessarily indicative of the future composition of the accounts.

Credit balances presented in the following table are a result of cardholder payments and credit adjustments applied in excess of a credit card account's unpaid balance. Accounts which have a credit balance are included because receivables may be generated in these accounts in the future. Credit card accounts which have no balance are included because receivables may be generated in these accounts in the future.

The following table sets forth the composition of accounts by FICO®* score.  A FICO score is a measurement determined by Fair, Isaac & Company using information collected by major credit bureaus to assess credit risk.  A credit report is generally obtained from one or more credit bureaus for each application for a new account.  Once a customer has been issued a card, Citibank (South Dakota) refreshes the FICO score on most accounts on a monthly basis. Citibank (South Dakota) generally does not refresh the FICO scores of accounts with a zero balance that have been determined to be inactive, accounts in forbearance or workout programs and certain other categories of accounts.  A FICO score of zero indicates that the FICO score of an account has not been refreshed for one of these reasons or that the customer did not have enough credit history for a FICO score to be calculated.

Static pool information is information relating to the master trust receivables, organized by year of origination of each related credit card account.  Static pool information for the master trust receivables was not stored on our computer systems before January 2006, and cannot be produced without unreasonable effort and expense.  Static pool information concerning losses, delinquencies, revenue yield and payment rate for the master trust receivables has been stored since January 2006 and can be found at www.citigroup.com/citigroup/citibankmastertrust/staticpool.  This information is presented in monthly increments and will be updated quarterly.  The static pool information on the website is organized by year of origination of the applicable account for each of the five most recent years, and for accounts originated more than five years ago.  As of December 28, 2008, less than 35% of the accounts were originated within the last five years.  Because static pool information has only been stored since January 2006, the full array of static pool information will not be available until 2011.  There can be no assurance that the loss, delinquency, revenue yield and payment rate experience for the receivables in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth on the website.

Billing and Payments

           The credit card accounts have different billing and payment structures, including different periodic finance charges and fees. The following information reflects the current billing and payment characteristics of the accounts.

Each month, billing statements are sent to cardholders who had activity during the immediately preceding billing period.  To the extent a cardholder has a balance due, the cardholder must make a minimum payment equal to the sum of any amount which is past due plus any amount which is in excess of the credit limit and, for most accounts, the greatest of the following:

·   the new balance on the billing statement if it is less than $20, or $20, if the new balance is at least $20;

·   1% of the new balance plus the amount of any billed finance charges and any billed late fee; and

·   1.5% of the new balance.

A periodic finance charge is imposed on the credit card accounts. The periodic finance charge imposed on balances for purchases and cash advances for a majority of the accounts is calculated by multiplying (1) the daily balances for each day during the billing cycle by (2) the applicable daily periodic finance charge rate, and summing the results for each day in the billing period. The daily balance is calculated by taking the previous day's balance, adding any new purchases or cash advances and fees, adding the daily finance charge on the previous day's balance, and subtracting any payments or credits. Cash advances are included in the daily balance from the date the advances are made. Purchases are included in the daily balance generally from the date of purchase. Periodic finance charges are not imposed in most circumstances on purchase amounts if all balances shown in the previous billing statement are paid in full by the due date indicated on the statement.

In 2007 Citibank (South Dakota) announced several policy changes in its Citi-branded credit card business -- which includes the accounts designated to the master trust. The policy announcements included a policy to eliminate for new and existing cardholders the practice of “any time for any reason” increases to rates and fees and other changes to the terms of an account except upon card expiration and issuance of a new card (typically two years).  

In November 2008, in response to worsening market conditions and increasing losses and delinquencies, Citibank (South Dakota) reinstated for certain customers “any time for any reason” rate and fee increases and sent notice of a repricing to customers whose purchase and cash advance rates had not been repriced in at least two years, and whose contract terms permit such change in terms. These customers have the right to opt out of the changed pricing and continue using their cards at the old pricing until card expiration.  New customers who opened accounts since July 2007 are not affected by this change in terms.

As of the date of this Form 8-K:

·   the periodic finance charge imposed on balances in most credit card accounts for purchases is the Prime Rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus a percentage ranging from 7.99% to 13.99%, with minimum rates varying by account (the lowest minimum rate equal to the greater of 13.99% or the sum of the Prime Rate and 7.99%);

·   the periodic finance charge imposed on balances in most credit card accounts for cash advances is the greater of 21.99% or the sum of the Prime Rate and 16.99%; and

·   if a cardholder defaults under their credit card agreement, the periodic finance charge assessed on all balances in their account can be increased up to the greater of 29.99% or the sum of the Prime Rate and 23.99%.

Promotional rates are offered from time to time to attract new cardholders and to promote balance transfers from other credit card issuers and the periodic finance charge on a limited number of accounts may be greater or less than those generally assessed on the accounts.

Most of the accounts are subject to additional fees, including:

·   a late fee if the cardholder does not make the required minimum payment by the payment date shown on the monthly billing statement.  The late fee is $15 on balances up to $100, $29 on balances of $100 up to $250 and $39 on balances of $250 and over;

·   a cash advance fee which is generally equal to 3.0% of the amount of the cash advance, subject to a minimum fee of $5;

·   a balance transfer fee of 3.0% of the amount transferred to the account, subject to a minimum fee of $5, unless otherwise disclosed in a particular offer;

·   a fee on purchases made outside the United States, whether in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency, which is generally equal to 3.0% of the amount of the purchase, after its conversion into U.S. dollars;

·   a returned payment fee of $39;

·   a returned check fee of $39;

·   a stop payment fee of $39; and

·   a fee of $39 for each billing period with respect to each account that has at any time during the related billing cycle an outstanding balance over the credit limit established for that account.

There can be no assurance that periodic finance charges, fees and other charges will remain at current levels in the future.

Payments by cardholders on the accounts are processed and applied first to all minimum amounts due.  Payments in excess of the minimum amount due are applied to balances associated with low periodic rates before balances associated with higher periodic rates.

The periodic finance charge and fees on accounts may be changed by providing at least 15 days prior written notice to cardholders.  Any such change in the finance charge or fees will become effective in the billing period that begins after the prior written notice -- assuming failure on the part of the cardholder to opt out of the changes.

The information in this Form 8-K relating to the loss experience, revenue experience and cardholder monthly payment rates for the accounts for the year ended December 26, 2008 does not reflect the experience of the accounts designated to the master trust in the lump addition of receivables made on December 27, 2008. If the December lump addition accounts were reflected, the loss experience, revenue experience and cardholder monthly payment rates set forth in their respective tables above would not be materially different.

Citibank (South Dakota) removed 729,861 inactive, zero balance accounts from the master trust in a lump removal on October 25, 2008 and removed 121,335 accounts consisting of $160,923,947 of principal receivables and $2,585,026 of finance charge receivables from the master trust in a lump removal on November 29, 2008.
