INTRODUCTORY NOTE




     Household Affinity Funding Corporation (the "Seller") is the
seller under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of April
30, 1993, as amended by the Amended and Restated Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 1993 (collectively, the
"Agreement") by and among the Seller, Household Finance
Corporation, as Servicer (the "Servicer") and The Bank of New York,
as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented thereby by various
series supplements, providing for the issuance of certificates in
varying series (the "Certificates"), and is the originator of the
trust called the Household Affinity Credit Card Master Trust I (the
"Registrant" or the "Trust").  

     Each Certificate represents an undivided interest in a pool of
receivables held by the Trust.  The Certificates issued, or to be
issued, may be senior ("Class A Certificates"), subordinated
("Class B Certificates") and Seller Certificate(s).  The Registrant
has prepared this Form 10-K in reliance upon various no-action
letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") to other trusts which are substantially similar to
the Trust and as a result of the Commission's issuance of a
favorable response to the Trust's Application for Exemptive Order
pursuant to Section 12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 
Items designated herein as "Not Applicable" have been omitted as a
result of this reliance and in anticipation of favorable action by
the Commission.
