Yes, you can. I've done it at Western Union.

Be warned though that your CC company will deem it a cash advance & charge you cash advance rates. Of course nothing at the time of purchase will indicate that but it will be listed in your cardmember agreement.

Smart aleck answer but clearly not what the OP intended.

The idea of a check or money order is that it's cash. See what Turin39789 said.

:confused:

Why is Viper GTS's answer a smart aleck answer? That's how the OP would go about getting a money order using a CC.

For anyone who still doesn't believe it can be done:

FWIW I didn't interpret your reply as being "smart aleck" in nature.
