First Nation Credit - Sounds like the Capital Credit Gold Card Scam
I just received a pre approval certificate for $15,000 gold card with a 12 month 0% introductory rate from First National Credit located at Pacific Park Plaza 27101 Aliso Creek Road, Unit 126, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656.I decided since it seemed to good to be true that I would check in to it. I searched the web and to my surprise there is an actual web site for this company (www.firstnationalcredit.com). The web site is very vanilla. After seeing the site and the original certificate I decided to search to see if the BBB of California had any complaints. During that search I came across this site which seemd to be very informative. I still don't know if this is phony or not. But it sure smells funny. Be careful.

i also sent 37.00 in for a credit card. It took a month to get it. they do not explain to much about card. they do false advertise thier card. so i order from their catalog and i did receive my order. you have to look at it this way people send these kinds of offers to people that have no credit, or bad credit. you are not going to get a credit card from a bank with bad credit for 37.00 dollars. for people like us they like to rip us off with outragous fees. it like car insurance if you have bad credit you pay more because they know you have to have it, its all a a big scam. there should be a law agaisnt people over charging consumers with no,or bad, or slow credit.
everybody goes threw tuff times, give us a break.
