       THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 9:00 A.M., NEW YORK
       CITY TIME, ON MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1997, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.
 
    The following amends and supplements the Offer to Purchase dated June 2,
1997 (the 'Offer to Purchase') of First USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation
('First USA'), pursuant to which First USA is offering to purchase for cash any
and all of the 9.33% Series A Capital Securities (the 'Series A Capital
Securities') issued and any and all of the 9.33% Series B Capital Securities
(the 'Series B Capital Securities' and, together with the Series A Capital
Securities, the 'Securities') to be issued by First USA Capital Trust I, a
Delaware business trust (the 'Trust'). First USA has increased the price to be
paid in the Offer (as defined below) to $1,172.50 per $1,000 liquidation amount
(plus accumulated and unpaid distributions up to, but not including, the
settlement date), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase dated June 2, 1997 (the 'Offer to Purchase'), this Supplement
and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the 'Offer').
All Securities tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn will be purchased upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

    The Offer is being made in connection with the contemplated merger (the
'Merger') between First USA and BANC ONE CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation ('BANC
ONE'). Upon the terms and subject to conditions of an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of January 19, 1997 and amended as of April 23, 1997, between
First USA and BANC ONE, First USA will be merged with and into BANC ONE, with
BANC ONE as the surviving corporation. Following the Merger and upon execution
of appropriate documents, BANC ONE, as successor to First USA, will succeed to

Securities') of the Trust, and to its obligations as guarantor under the
Guarantees (as defined below), as issuer of the Junior Subordinated Debentures
(as defined below), as sponsor of the Trust. BANC ONE will not succeed to First
USA's rights as the owner of the Common Securities, to its obligations as
guarantor under the Guarantees, the issuer of the Junior Subordinated Debentures
and as sponsor of the Trust unless and until the Merger is consummated. The
Offer is conditioned upon the Merger having been consummated. The Merger is
expected to be consummated on or before June 30, 1997 and is not conditioned
upon consummation of the Offer. See Section 6.

    All references to First USA in the Offer to Purchase and this Supplement
shall be deemed to include BANC ONE following the Merger.

                            ------------------------
 
    THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM AMOUNT OF SECURITIES BEING
TENDERED. THE OFFER IS SUBJECT TO CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER AND TO CERTAIN
OTHER CONDITIONS. SEE SECTION 6.
 
    NONE OF THE TRUST OR ITS TRUSTEES, FIRST USA OR ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR
BANC ONE OR ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO ANY HOLDER AS TO

copy thereof in accordance with the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal,
mail or deliver it and any other required documents to The Bank of New York (the

pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the

Offer to Purchase.

9.33% Series B Capital Securities to be issued by First USA Capital Trust I:
 
                                  INTRODUCTION
 
     The following amends and supplements the Offer to Purchase dated June 2,
1997 (the 'Offer to Purchase') of First USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation
('First USA'), pursuant to which First USA is offering to purchase for cash any
and all of the 9.33% Series A Capital Securities (the 'Series A Capital
Securities') issued and any and all of the 9.33% Series B Capital Securities
(the 'Series B Capital Securities' and, together with the Series A Capital
Securities, the 'Securities') to be issued by First USA Capital Trust I, a
Delaware business trust (the 'Trust'). First USA has increased the price to be
paid in the Offer (as defined below) to $1,172.50 per $1,000 liquidation amount
(plus accumulated and unpaid distributions up to, but not including, the
settlement date), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, this Supplement and the related Letter of Transmittal (which
together constitute the 'Offer'). The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Monday, June 30, 1997, unless the Offer is
extended. See Sections 6 and 14.
 
     Pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of December 20, 1996,
among First USA, the Trust and the initial purchasers named therein, First USA
and the Trust have registered the Series B Capital Securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under a Registration Statement (File No.
333-26669) on Form S-4 (the 'Registration Statement') filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Prospectus dated May 20, 1997 that constitutes a part of the Registration
Statement and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the
'Exchange Offer'), the Trust has offered to exchange $200,000,000 aggregate
liquidation amount of Series B Capital Securities for a like liquidation amount
of Series A Capital Securities and First USA has offered to exchange (i) its
guarantee (the 'Series A Guarantee') of payments of cash distributions and
payments on liquidation of the Trust or redemption of the Series A Capital
Securities for a like guarantee (together with the Series A Guarantee, the
'Guarantees') in respect of the Series B Capital Securities and (ii)
$200,000,000 of its 9.33% Series B Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures
(the 'Series B Junior Subordinated Debentures') for a like aggregate principal
amount of its 9.33% Series A Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures (together
with the Series B Junior Subordinated Debentures, the 'Junior Subordinated
Debentures').

     The Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on June 19, 1997, unless extended. Accordingly, holders of Securities
('Holders') will be able to exchange their Series A Capital Securities for
Series B Capital Securities in the Exchange Offer and then tender their Series B
Capital Securities in the Offer. However, as the Offer is for any and all Series
A Capital Securities and any and all Series B Capital Securities, Holders who
fail to exchange their Series A Capital Securities for Series B Capital
Securities in the Exchange Offer will still be able to tender their Series A
Capital Securities in the Offer.
 
     This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase.
Except as set forth in this Supplement, the terms and conditions previously set
forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal mailed with the
Offer to Purchase remain applicable in all respects to the Offer. Terms used but
not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
 
     THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM AMOUNT OF SECURITIES BEING
TENDERED. THE OFFER IS SUBJECT TO CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER AND TO CERTAIN
OTHER CONDITIONS. SEE SECTION 6.
 
     NONE OF THE TRUST OR ITS TRUSTEES, FIRST USA OR ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR
BANC ONE OR ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO ANY HOLDER AS TO
WHETHER TO TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM TENDERING SECURITIES. EACH HOLDER MUST MAKE
SUCH HOLDER'S OWN DECISION WHETHER TO TENDER SECURITIES AND, IF SO, THE AMOUNT
OF SECURITIES TO TENDER. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO EVALUATE CAREFULLY ALL INFORMATION
IN THE OFFER, CONSULT THEIR OWN INVESTMENT AND TAX ADVISORS AND MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISION WHETHER TO TENDER, AND, IF SO, THE AMOUNT OF SECURITIES TO TENDER.
 
     NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION ON BEHALF OF THE
TRUST, FIRST USA OR BANC ONE AS TO WHETHER HOLDERS SHOULD TENDER OR REFRAIN FROM
TENDERING SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO
GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE

THIS SUPPLEMENT SPEAKS AS OF THE DATE HEREOF UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY
INDICATED. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SUPPLEMENT REGARDING BANC ONE HAS BEEN

     1. Procedures for Tendering Securities.  The discussion set forth in
Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:
 
     The Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery previously
distributed with the Offer to Purchase must be used to tender Securities.

     HOLDERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY VALIDLY TENDERED SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE
OFFER AND NOT PROPERLY WITHDRAWN SUCH SECURITIES HAVE VALIDLY TENDERED SUCH
SECURITIES FOR PURPOSES OF THE OFFER, AS AMENDED, AND NEED NOT TAKE ANY FURTHER
ACTION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE INCREASED PRICE OF $1,172.50 PER $1,000
LIQUIDATION AMOUNT (PLUS ACCUMULATED AND UNPAID DISTRIBUTIONS UP TO, BUT NOT
INCLUDING, THE SETTLEMENT DATE) PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
 
     2. Acceptance for Payment of Securities and Payment of Offer
Consideration.  The discussion set forth in Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase
is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
     Securities accepted for purchase by First USA will be purchased at
$1,172.50 per $1,000 liquidation amount (plus accumulated and unpaid
distributions up to, but not including, the settlement date). First USA expects
the settlement date to be as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. The
settlement date will be the same for all Securities purchased in the Offer,
including Securities delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures.
Except as specifically provided in this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase,
under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer consideration,
regardless of any delay in making such payment. Distributions will cease to
accrue on all Securities on the business day prior to the settlement date,
including on Securities delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery
procedures.
 
     3. Source and Amount of Funds.  The discussion set forth in Section 9 of
the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
     Assuming that all outstanding Securities are purchased pursuant to the
Offer, the total amount of funds required by First USA to consummate the Offer,
and to pay related fees and expenses, is estimated to be approximately $245.1
million.
