STRUCTURAL SUMMARY
This summary briefly describes certain major structural components of Series
1999-1. To fully understand the terms of Series 1999-1 you will need to read
both the prospectus supplement and the prospectus in their entirety. This Series
Term Sheet will be superseded in its entirety by the information appearing in
the prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the Series 1999-1 Supplement to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as amended, the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") between First USA Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), as transferor (in such
capacity, the "Transferor") and servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer"), and
The Bank of New York (Delaware), as trustee (the "Trustee").
THE SERIES 1999-1 CERTIFICATES
Your certificates represent the right to a portion of collections on the
underlying Trust assets. Your certificates will also be allocated a portion of
net losses on receivables, if any. Any collections of finance charges allocated
to your series will be used to make interest payments, to pay a portion of the
fees of First USA as servicer and to cover net losses allocated to your series.
Any remaining collections of finance charges allocated to your series will be
applied for the benefit of the holder of the excess collateral. Any principal
collections allocated to your series in excess of the amount owed to
certificates of your series on any distribution date will be shared with other
series of certificates issued by First USA Credit Card Master Trust, retained in
a trust account or returned to First USA. In no case will you receive more than
the principal and interest owed to you under the terms described in the
prospectus supplement and the prospectus.
Your certificates feature credit enhancement by means of the subordination of
other interests, which is intended to protect you from net losses and shortfalls
in cash flow. Credit enhancement for your series is for your series' benefit
only. Credit enhancement is provided to Class A by the following:
- subordination of Class B; and
- subordination of the excess collateral.
Credit enhancement is provided to Class B by the following:
- subordination of the excess collateral.
The effect of subordination is that the more subordinated interests will absorb
any net losses allocated to Series 1999-1, and make up any shortfalls in cash
flow, before the more senior interests are affected. On the closing date the
excess collateral will be $85,844,000, or 9.5% of the initial Class A invested
amount, the initial Class B invested amount and the initial excess collateral
amount. If the cash flow and any subordinated interest do not cover all net
losses allocated to Series 1999-1, your payments of interest and principal will
be reduced and you may suffer a loss of principal.
FIRST USA CREDIT CARD MASTER TRUST
Your series is one of thirty-six series issued by First USA Credit Card Master
Trust which are expected to remain outstanding as of the closing date. First USA
Credit Card Master Trust is maintained by the trustee, for the benefit of:
- certificateholders of Series 1999-1;
- certificateholders of other series issued by First USA Credit Card
Master Trust;
- providers of credit enhancements for Series 1999-1 and other series
issued by First USA Credit Card Master Trust; and
- First USA.
Each series has a claim to a fixed dollar amount of First USA Credit Card Master
Trust's assets, regardless of the total amount of receivables in the Trust at
any time. First USA holds the remaining claim to First USA Credit Card Master
Trust's assets, which fluctuates with the total amount of receivables in the
Trust. First USA, as the holder of that amount, has the right to purchase the
outstanding Series 1999-1 certificates at any time when the outstanding amount
of the Series 1999-1 certificateholders' interest in the First USA Credit Card
Master Trust is less than or equal to 5% of the original amount of that
interest. The purchase price for these outstanding Series 1999-1 certificates
will be equal to the outstanding amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
certificates
3
<PAGE> 4
through the last day of the period on which the repurchase occurs.
SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS AND POTENTIAL LATER PAYMENTS
First USA Credit Card Master Trust expects to pay the entire principal amount of
Class A and the entire principal amount of Class B in one payment on February
19, 2004. In order to accumulate the funds to pay Class A and Class B on their
scheduled payment date, the Trust will accumulate principal collections in a
principal funding account. The Trust will deposit funds into the principal
funding account during an "accumulation period" on each "transfer date." The
length of the controlled accumulation period may be as long as twelve months,
but will be shortened if First USA expects that a shorter period will suffice
for the accumulation of the Class A, Class B and excess collateral payment
amounts. The accumulation period is expected to end on February 19, 2004, when
the funds on deposit in the principal funding account will be paid to Class A
first, then to Class B and then to the excess collateral.
If Class A is not fully repaid on the scheduled payment date, Class A will begin
to amortize by means of monthly payments of all principal collections allocated
to Series 1999-1 until it is fully repaid.
After Class A is fully repaid the Trust will use principal collections allocated
to Series 1999-1 to repay Class B. If Class B is not fully repaid on the
scheduled payment date, Class B will begin to amortize by means of monthly
payments of all monthly principal collections allocated to Series 1999-1 after
Class A is fully repaid.
Prior to the commencement of an accumulation or amortization period for Series
1999-1, principal collections will be paid to First USA, retained in a trust
account or shared with other series that are amortizing or in an accumulation
period.
MINIMUM YIELD ON THE RECEIVABLES; POSSIBLE EARLY PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT OF SERIES
1999-1
Class A or Class B may be repaid earlier than its scheduled payment date if
collections on the underlying receivables, together with other amounts available
for payment to securityholders, are too low. The minimum amount that must be
available for payment to Series 1999-1 in any month, referred to as the "base
rate," is the sum of the Class A interest rate, the Class B interest rate and
the excess collateral minimum interest rate, plus 2.0%. If the average Trust
portfolio yield, net of losses allocated to your series, for any three
consecutive months is less than the average base rate for the same three
consecutive months, a "pay out event" will occur with respect to Series 1999-1
and the Trust will commence a rapid amortization of Series 1999-1, and holders
of Series 1999-1 certificates will receive principal payments earlier than the
scheduled principal payment date.
Series 1999-1 is also subject to several other pay out events, which could cause
Series 1999-1 to amortize. If Series 1999-1 begins to amortize, Class A will
receive monthly payments of principal until it is fully repaid; Class B will
then receive monthly payments of principal until it is fully repaid. In that
event, your certificates may be repaid prior to the scheduled payment date.
The final payment of principal and interest will be made no later than October
19, 2006, which is the stated series termination date.
TAX STATUS OF CLASS A AND CLASS B
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, special tax counsel to First USA, is
of the opinion that under existing law the Class A and Class B certificates will
be characterized as debt for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
The Transferor, the Servicer, the holders of the Class A certificates and the
Class B certificates and the owners of such certificates will treat the Class A
certificates and the Class B certificates as debt for Federal, state, local and
foreign income and franchise tax purposes.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
Class A Certificates: The underwriters anticipate that the Class A certificates
will meet the criteria for treatment as "publicly-offered securities." If so,
subject to important considerations described in the supplement and in the
prospectus, the Class A certificates will be eligible for purchase by persons
investing assets of employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts.
Class B Certificates: It is not anticipated that the Class B certificates will
meet the criteria for
4
<PAGE> 5
treatment as "publicly-offered securities." As such, pension plans and other
investors subject to ERISA cannot acquire Class B certificates. Prohibited
investors include:
-- "employees benefit plans" as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA;
-- any "plan" as defined in section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code; and
-- any entity whose underlying assets may be deemed to include "plan
assets" under ERISA by reason of any such plan's investment in the
entity including insurance company general accounts.
By purchasing any Class B certificates, you certify that you are not within any
of those categories.

SELECTED TRUST PORTFOLIO SUMMARY DATA
Geographic Distribution of Receivables in Trust Portfolio as of
December 31, 1998
[Chart showing geographic distribution]
The chart above shows the geographic distribution of the receivables in the
Trust Portfolio among the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the other
United States territories and possessions. Other than the states specifically
shown in the chart, no state accounts for more than 5% of the receivables in the
Trust Portfolio.

PAYMENT DATA
[Chart showing payment data]
The chart above shows the portfolio yield, payment rate and loss percentage for
the Trust portfolio for each month from June 1997 to December 1998.
The "PORTFOLIO YIELD" for any month is the sum of the amounts of collected
finance charges and fees and discount receivables allocated to a representative
series for the month expressed as an annualized percentage of the invested
amount of that series. The collected finance charges and fees and discount
receivables are allocated to the representative series based on the floating
allocation percentage applicable on each day. If there is an addition of
accounts during the month the floating allocation percentage will change on the
date of the addition. A representative series is one that is outstanding at its
initial invested amount for each day during the month.
The "PAYMENT RATE" for any month is the total amount of principal collections
allocated to the Trust for the monthly period, expressed as a percentage of
total average monthly account balances.
The "LOSS PERCENTAGE" for any monthly period is the sum of the principal
receivables in charged-off accounts, net of recoveries from previously
charged-off accounts, allocated to a representative series for the month
expressed as an annualized percentage of the invested amount of that series.
Principal receivables in charged-off accounts are allocated to the
representative series on a daily basis during the month based on the floating
allocation percentage applicable on each day. If there is an addition of
accounts during the month the floating allocation percentage will change on the
date of the addition. Recoveries from previously charged-off accounts are
allocated to the representative series at the end of the month based on the
weighted average floating allocation percentage for the month. A representative
series is one that is outstanding at its initial invested amount for each day
during the month.

FIRST USA'S CREDIT CARD PORTFOLIO
The Bank converted to a national bank charter on July 1, 1998 and is now
named "First USA Bank, National Association." Concurrently with this charter
conversion, all consumer VISA and MasterCard credit card accounts previously
held by other bank subsidiaries of BANK ONE CORPORATION ("BANK ONE") were
consolidated in the Bank, which also replaced Bank One, N.A. as seller/servicer
for the Banc One Credit Card Master Trust and for Banc One Funding Corporation,
two other BANK ONE credit card securitization vehicles. As a result of the
merger of First USA, Inc. with and into BANK ONE on June 27, 1997, the Bank is
now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BANK ONE.
The Bank added receivables in certain accounts originated by the Bank, Bank
One, N.A., Bank One, Arizona, NA and other affiliates of the Bank to the Trust
on July 6, 1998. On September 30, 1998, the Bank purchased the credit card
portfolio of Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. ("Chevy Chase"). On November 16, 1998, the
Bank acquired accounts formerly owned by First National Bank of Commerce ("First
Commerce") as a result of a merger between First Commerce and Bank One,
Louisiana, N.A. and the transfer by Bank One, Louisiana, N.A. to the Bank of
substantially all of such accounts. On December 24, 1998, the Bank purchased a
portfolio of VISA and MasterCard credit card loans from General Electric Capital
Corporation ("GE Capital"). The portfolio includes approximately $2.3 billion in
managed credit card loans. The Bank has not added to the Trust receivables in
any of the accounts acquired from Chevy Chase, First Commerce or GE Capital. A
substantial portion of each such portfolio (other than the GE Capital portfolio)
is currently subject to securitization through other credit card master trusts.
However, the Bank may, from time to time, add to the Trust additional
receivables arising in accounts originated by affiliates of the Bank or
purchased by the Bank. Each such addition to the Trust of receivables in
accounts originated by the Bank and affiliates of the Bank or purchased by the
Bank is subject to certain restrictions on additions of Accounts in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, including satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.
Effective October 2, 1998, BANK ONE, the parent corporation of the Bank,
merged with and into First Chicago NBD Corporation, a Delaware corporation.
Immediately prior to such merger, BANC ONE CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation
("BANC ONE"), also merged with and into BANK ONE, which had been a subsidiary of
BANC ONE prior to such merger. BANK ONE is a bank holding company headquartered
in Chicago, Illinois and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended.

The following tables set forth the delinquency and loss experience for each
of the periods shown for the Trust Portfolio. Reported loss and delinquency
percentages for the Trust Portfolio may be reduced as a result of the addition
of newly originated receivables. Receivables in newly originated accounts
generally have lower delinquency and loss levels than receivables in more
seasoned accounts and the addition of these receivables to the Trust Portfolio
increases the outstanding receivables balance for the Trust Portfolio.

RECEIVABLE YIELD CONSIDERATIONS
The portfolio yield on the Trust Portfolio for each of the three years
contained in the period ended December 31, 1998 is set forth in the table below.
The portfolio yields in the table are calculated on a cash basis. Portfolio
yield will be affected by numerous factors, including changes in the periodic
rates, variations in the rate of payments and new borrowings on the accounts,
the amount of the annual membership fees and other charges, changes in the
delinquency and loss rates on the receivables and the percentage of cardholders
who pay their balances in full each month and do not incur periodic finance
charges, which may in turn be caused by a variety of factors, including seasonal
variations, the availability of other sources of credit and general economic
conditions. Interchange will be included in the Trust on an estimated basis by
initially treating 1.3% of collections on the receivables, other than
collections with respect to periodic finance charges, annual membership fees and
other charges, as collections of "discount receivables".

(1) Average Portfolio Yield represents the average of the portfolio yield

THE RECEIVABLES
The receivables conveyed to the Trust have arisen and will arise in
accounts selected by First USA from the Bank Portfolio on the basis of criteria
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as applied on August 21, 1992
and, with respect to additional accounts, as of the related dates of their
designations (the "Trust Portfolio"). The receivables in the Trust Portfolio
(including the additional accounts added to the Trust on January 10, 1999 and
February 5, 1999), as of the close of business on December 31, 1998, consisted
of $35,065,862,188 of Principal Receivables and $1,144,133,678 of finance charge
receivables. On the closing date, the Transferor will deposit $ into
the Finance Charge Account, which will be applied as collections of finance
charge receivables received during the initial monthly period and allocated to
Series 1999-1. The accounts, including such additional accounts, had an average
principal receivable balance of $1,395 (including accounts with a zero balance)
and an average credit limit of $8,310. The percentage of the aggregate total
receivable balance to the aggregate total credit limit was 17.3%.
10
<PAGE> 11
As of December 31, 1998, cardholders whose accounts are included in the
Trust Portfolio, including such additional accounts, had billing addresses in 50
states, the District of Columbia and other United States territories and
possessions. As of December 31, 1998, 71% of the accounts, including such
additional accounts, were premium accounts and 29% were standard accounts, and
the aggregate principal receivable balances of premium accounts and standard
accounts, as a percentage of the aggregate total principal receivables, were 83%
and 17%, respectively.
The following tables summarize the Trust Portfolio (including the
additional accounts added to the Trust on January 10, 1999 and February 5, 1999)
by various criteria as of the close of the business on December 31, 1998.
Because the future composition of the Trust Portfolio may change over time,
these tables are not necessarily indicative of the composition of the Trust
Portfolio at any subsequent time.
