Only if you can find a place where you can pay with a CC - so that would be pointless (literally).
Different regions/states have it relatively better/worse.
Kalamazoo area. Both walgreens are hard coded with the register. 7-11 said no right away. Office Depot is hard coded at the register. Closest CVS is about 70 minutes away.
I can buy gift cards with CC though - I just can't do anything useful with them really.
