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 (365/90 for the three months ended March 28, 2011, 365/365 for the year ended December 28, 2010, 365/367 for the year ended December 28, 2009 and 366/366 for the year ended December 26, 2008).
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.

Three Months Ended March 28, 2011 | Year Ended December 28, 2010 | Year Ended December 28, 2009 | Year Ended December 26, 2008 |

Net losses as a percentage of gross charge-offs for the three months ended March 28, 2011 were 87.25% and for each of the years ended December 28, 2010, December 28, 2009 and December 26, 2008 were 92.88%, 95.16% and 91.22%, 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 39 trust monthly reporting periods from January 2008 through March 2011, such reductions ranged from 0.68% to 1.46% 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.
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.

The global financial and economic crisis that began in 2007 had an adverse effect on the assets of the master trust. The ensuing economic recession and rising unemployment resulted in significant increases in net losses and delinquencies. While net losses and delinquencies have recently trended downward, net losses remain substantially higher than they were before the recent financial crisis and economic recession. There can be no assurance the downward trend will continue. There could be future increases in net losses and delinquencies, and such increases could be significant.

Revenue Experience
The revenues for the credit card accounts from finance charges, fees paid by cardholders and interchange for the three months ended March 28, 2011 and for each of the years ended December 28, 2010, December 28, 2009 and December 26, 2008 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 (365/90 for the three months ended March 28, 2011, 365/365 for the year ended December 28, 2010, 365/367 for the year ended December 28, 2009 and 366/366 for the year ended December 26, 2008).
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 amount, if any, of principal receivables that is discounted and treated as finance charge receivables, 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.

| Three Months Ended | Year Ended December 28, 2010 | Year Ended December 28, 2009 | Year Ended December 26, 2008 | ||||
| March 28, 2011 | |||||||
| Finance Charges and Fees Paid | $3,031,686 | $13,414,392 | $13,692,050 | $12,135,240 | |||
| Average Revenue Yield | 19.36% | 19.24% | 17.98% | 15.77% | |||
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.
From March 2009 to March 2011, Citibank (South Dakota) applied a 1% discount percentage to the principal receivables in the credit card accounts designated to the master trust. The impact of this discounting – by recharacterizing 1% of principal collections as finance charge collections – was to increase the reported revenue yield on the accounts by an amount ranging from 1.97% to 2.39%, with an average increase of 2.17%, during the 25 trust monthly reporting periods that discounting was in effect. This discounting was discontinued in accordance with the operative documents in April 2011 because the 3-month average excess spread was above 7% for each of the three preceding trust monthly reporting periods.

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.
As of the most recent related billing date prior to March 27, 2011, 44.50% of the accounts had a credit balance or otherwise had no payment due, 23.83% of the cardholders paid their entire outstanding balance, 4.12% of the cardholders made only the minimum payment due, 4.02% of the cardholders paid an amount less than the minimum due (including no payment) and the remaining 23.53% of the cardholders paid an amount greater than the minimum due, but less than the entire outstanding balance.

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 generally 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 March 27, 2011 included $1,343,605,647 of finance charge receivables and $60,983,195,973 of principal receivables – which amounts include overdue finance charge receivables and overdue principal receivables. As of March 27, 2011, there were 26,219,375 accounts. Included within the accounts are inactive accounts that have no balance. The accounts had an average principal receivable balance of $2,326 and an average credit limit of $13,138. 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 97% of the accounts were opened before March 2009.
As of March 27, 2011, 99.83% of the credit card receivables in the master trust represented obligations of cardholders with billing addresses in the United States. Of the accounts, as of March 27, 2011, 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 | 13.64% | 14.09% | |
| New York | 11.30% | 10.05% | |
| Texas | 7.08% | 8.87% | |
| Florida | 6.42% | 5.93% | |
| Illinois | 5.30% | 5.81% |
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 March 27, 2011, 2.18% of the credit card receivables in the master trust related to small business revolving credit card accounts originated by Citibank (South Dakota). The receivables in the 227,452 small business credit card accounts designated to the master trust as of March 27, 2011 included $27,114,139 of finance charge receivables and $1,329,567,511 of principal receivables – which amounts include overdue finance charge receivables and overdue principal receivables.
Citibank (South Dakota) issues its small business credit cards to business owners who agree to use the cards for business purposes. With respect to substantially all accounts, both the individual business owner and the business are jointly and severally liable for all charges and balances on the account. For the remainder of the accounts, only the individual business owner is liable. The small business credit card accounts generally have higher receivables balances, credit limits and monthly payment rates than the other accounts designated to the master trust, taken as a whole. In addition, interchange generated on the receivables in these accounts is generally higher than the interchange generated on the receivables in the other accounts designated to the master trust.
6
As of March 27, 2011, the small business credit card accounts designated to the master trust had an average principal receivable balance of $5,845 and an average credit limit of $30,999. The average principal receivable balance in the accounts as a percentage of the average credit limit with respect to the accounts was approximately 19%. Approximately 93% of the accounts were opened before March 2009. Of the accounts, as of March 27, 2011, 25.07% of the receivables related to obligors with billing addresses in California and 16.83% in Texas. No other state represents more than 10% of the outstanding receivables. As of March 27, 2011, 89.19% of the receivables in the accounts related to obligors whose FICO score is greater than 660, and 95.13% of the receivables had a “current” payment status as of the most recent related billing date.
As of the most recent related billing date prior to March 27, 2011, 19.32% of the small business credit card accounts had a credit balance or otherwise had no payment due, 53.75% of the obligors paid their entire outstanding balance, 1.73% of the obligors made only the minimum payment due, 5.39% of the obligors paid an amount less than the minimum due (including no payment) and the remaining 19.81% of the obligors paid an amount greater than the minimum due, but less than the entire outstanding balance.
As of March 31, 2011, approximately 23% 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 March 31, 2011, 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 March 27, 2011 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 as of March 31, 2011. 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 closed accounts that have no balance 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.
During the first quarter of 2011, Citibank (South Dakota) began using a more updated FICO model to score cardholder accounts in substantially all of its credit card portfolios, including all of the accounts designated to the master trust. As a result of this change in scoring model, the FICO scores of the accounts designated to the master trust generally increased. The change was made to incorporate a more recent version of FICO in order to improve the predictive strength of the score and to enhance Citibank (South Dakota)'s ability to manage risk.
As of March 31, 2011, 81.93% of the receivables in the master trust related to obligors whose FICO score is greater than 660.

Static Pool Information
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 March 31, 2011, less than 23% of the accounts were originated within the last five years. 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.
A copy of the information contained on the website as of the date of this Form 8-K may be obtained by any person free of charge upon request to Citibank (South Dakota), as servicer, 701 East 60th Street, North, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57117, telephone number (605) 331-1567.
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.
In general, each month billing statements are sent to cardholders. 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.
11
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 10.74% to 21.74%. A small portion of the credit card accounts have a non-variable periodic finance charge imposed on purchase balances ranging from 13.99% to 24.99%; |
| · | the periodic finance charge imposed on balances in most credit card accounts for cash advances is the sum of the Prime Rate and 21.99%; and |
| · | if a cardholder fails to make a payment by the due date under their credit card agreement, the periodic finance charge assessed on new transactions can be increased up to the sum of the Prime Rate and 26.74%, with 45 days advance notice. If a cardholder fails to make a payment for more than 60 days after the due date under their credit card agreement, the periodic finance charge assessed on existing balances in their account can be increased up to the sum of the Prime Rate and 26.74%, with 45 days advance notice. |
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 up to $25 (or up to $35 if a late fee was assessed on the account during the previous six billing cycles); provided that the late fee will not be greater than the associated required minimum payment; |
| · | a cash advance fee which is generally equal to 5.0% of the amount of the cash advance, subject to a minimum fee of $10; |
| · | a balance transfer fee of 5.0% of the amount transferred to the account, subject to a minimum fee of $10, 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 $25 (or up to $35 if a returned payment fee was assessed on the account during the previous six billing cycles); provided that the returned payment fee will not be greater than the required minimum payment associated with the returned payment; and |
| · | a stop payment fee of $39, assessed if the cardholder requests that payment be stopped on a bank-issued convenience check. |
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 generally are applied to balances associated with higher periodic rates before balances associated with lower periodic rates.
