They do, but the high fee assessed doesn't make it worthwhile. For instance, sending $10K with a credit card like the OP stated would cost $438 or 4.38%. Western Union/MoneyGram already thought of this and the fee charged takes into account their cost of accepting a credit/debit card. Furthermore, the issuing bank of the card used may consider/reclassify the transaction as a cash advance, incurring you further fees.
