Methods to wire/send/transfer money using cc?
 
Have purchased an item ($2700) from an individual a few states away, and he's asking that I wire/transfer the money; is there any way to do this via credit card? My original thought was PayPal linked to my cc, but what are my options here, and what is the *best* option? Is there a way to do this with a points multiplier [2x, 3x, 5x points, etc] of some kind here?

Sounds like you're going to get scammed. Never wire or transfer money to someone until you have the goods otherwise you should be buying through somewhere that offers protection like e-bay or Amazon.

After you send him the money you will never hear from him again and you will not receive the item that you are paying for.

There are companies called escrow services that will protect both you and the seller. You can google them.
