Earning miles or points using a credit card to buy money orders or travelers cheques is something that should not work, but may. Useful information is on Flyertalk, but it is dispersed and you will need to spend some time investigating and testing with the understanding that it may not work. There is no recipe book, and you may not have sufficient time to make it work for this specific transaction.

Start with this discussion from 2010, for background information:
