Question on deferred spend

Apologies if it does not belong here.

I have a bank account in USD in another country with a debit card (MC). I would like to get dollars out of that bank account (not necessarily in cash). Is there a good way to "spend" dollars on something like a gift card in the US with the idea of slowly spending it on paying my cc bills or withdrawing cash once I am back to the States?

I can's just withdraw cash from an ATM abroad as I get local currency at bad rates. Finding a USD ATM would be ideal but there is none where I am now.

Any help is much appreciated!
