OK, the cards are in the wild. Have seen at two Duane Reade locations (NY and NJ).
Talked to sales person about CC load, said no. But that's just a talk. Nothing more.
According to terms and conditions can be loaded up to $1,500 from debit card for ~$3 fee. Bill pay is ~$1. Not cheap...
I'd say it adds $1.25 to each $500 to liquidate this way ($3 / 3 + $1 / 4 (thinking of 2k bill pay chunks)).

I tried once to buy Money Pak at Duane Reade (Walgreens) with credit card and even though cashier let me swipe my card, it didn't go through.
So just try it first.
Yes, it's a good value if it works. $3 for 500 load is good. $3 for 1500 load is even better.

It depends if cash register allows credit card tender at all for this sort of transaction.

Walgreens/duane reade balance reload card
Card is issued by Bancorp. You can purchase reloads directly through register using credit card according to clerk. Cash out using money order or cash advance (2500 daily limit) as per terms. Anyone try these yet??

It's only PIN Debit or Cash FYI.
Edit: Now it's been merged.
