      Issuer
Certificate

      Pursuant to Sections 202 and
301(h) of the Indenture

      


      Reference
is made to the Indenture, dated as of September 26, 2000, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of November 14, 2001, each between Citibank
Credit Card Issuance Trust (the "Issuer") and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as trustee (the "Indenture").  Capitalized terms used herein
that are not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. All
references herein to designated Sections are to the designated Sections of the
Indenture.

      


      Section
301(h) provides that the Issuer may from time to time create a tranche of Notes
either by or pursuant to an Issuer Certificate setting forth the principal terms
thereof.  Pursuant to this Issuer Certificate, there is hereby created
a tranche of Notes having the following terms:

      


      Series
Designation:  Citiseries.  This series is included in
Group 1.

      


      Tranche
Designation:  $3,000,000,000 Floating Rate Class 2009-A1 Notes
of March 2012 (Legal Maturity Date March 2014) (hereinafter, the "Class 2009-A1
Notes")

      


      Currency:  The Class
2009-A1 Notes will be payable, and denominated, in Dollars.

      


      Denominations:  The
Class 2009-A1 Notes will be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and
multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount.

      


      Issuance
Date:  March 25, 2009

      


      Initial Principal
Amount:  $3,000,000,000

      


      Issue
Price:  100%

      


      Interest Rate:  The
Class 2009-A1 Notes will accrue interest with respect to any interest period at
a per annum rate equal to the Class 2009-A1 Note Rate for such interest period,
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in such interest period
divided by 360.  The "Class 2009-A1 Note Rate" means, with respect to
the first interest period, 2.55089% per annum and, with respect to each interest
period thereafter, a per annum rate equal to LIBOR for such interest period plus
1.75%.

      


      The
Issuer will determine LIBOR for each applicable interest period on the second
business day before the beginning of that interest period.  For
purposes of calculating LIBOR, a business day is any day on which dealings in
deposits in U.S. Dollars are transacted in the London interbank
market.

      



      
        
           


        

        
           


          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      


      "LIBOR" means, as of any date
of determination, the rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars for the Designated
Maturity (commencing on the first day of the relevant interest period) which
appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on
such date. If such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the
rate for that day will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits
in U.S. Dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for the
Designated Maturity (commencing on the first day of the relevant interest
period). The Issuer will request the principal London office of each of the
Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of
the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate
for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in
New York City, selected by the Issuer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on that day for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a
period of the Designated Maturity (commencing on the first day of the relevant
interest period).

      


      "Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page"
means the display page currently so designated on the Reuters Monitor Money
Rates service (or such other page as may replace that page on that service or
any successor service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or
prices).

      


      "Designated Maturity" means
one month.

      


      "Reference Banks" means four
major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Issuer.

      


      Scheduled Interest Payment

2009.

from and including the preceding Interest Payment Date -- or, for the first
interest period, from and including the Issuance Date -- to and including the
day preceding the current Interest Payment Date, plus any interest accrued but
not previously paid.

      


      The first
deposit targeted to be made to the Interest Funding sub-Account for the Class
2009-A1 Notes will be on the April 15, 2009 Interest Deposit Date and in an
amount equal to $4,464,057.50.
