I love it when people speak with authority on subject matters they have no knowledge about.
Check out riamoneytransfer.com. Send money overseas using credit card, debit card, or from your bank account. Yes, paypal also works.

It's cheaper than Moneygram or WU. And I believe it's free if u transfer from your bank account.
A few months back they even allowed transferring of funds to any domestic bank accounts. It tried a few times and loved it. Unfortunately that feature has been disabled so only INT'L transfers are allowed now.
Juss11 I apologize for misunderstanding but it seems like you didn't read my primary message, did you? What would have gift cards (or even WU/MG which you personally didn't mention, someone even mentioned paypal which is completely against my message) anything to do with what I am asking? Please kindly read my message again and you will see what my question is because you have completely misunderstood it. After verifying identity and card ownership, I want to do the transaction using credit card (visa usa). Charged funds would be then deducted by money transfer service provider for offering this service. The rest (major part) would be then converted from credit card transaction to international bank WIRE transfer and sent under my name (cardholder name) to with my defined memo reference message to the beneficiary bank account. Anything else what doesn't belong to what I just said (as your suggestion about gift cards) is completely offtopic.
It sounded to me like Juss11 was advocating buying a gift card with a credit card, then using the gift card to fund a money order at Walmart, which seems to answer your question (or at least is on topic).
Also I'm failing to understand how Western Union is against your message.

Paypal is going to be your best option.
Other banks will just not do it.
1. They don't want to be responsible in the event of fraud.
2. They don't want to handle such chargebacks, and this is very vulnerable to fraud. It's just a complete mess from an investigation standpoint. God knows where the money went and the bank has no way of recovering it.
3. Your accounts will most likely be shut down, because banks don't want to deal with the risk and also compliance issues.
4. Lots of cash advance fees and interests will apply. It just makes no sense. Just use paypal, pay the 3% fee yourself, and be done with it. You can also include all the memo you want.
5. Vulnerable to strategic bankruptcy and whatever methods of default that anyone can come up with.
For instance, A wires to A's overseas account using his credit card. A then declares bankrupt and live happily while waiting for everything to fall off his credit reports, only to do it again.

Sounds like a way to build a nice nest egg.
