Here's one method those in the U.S. might be able to use to buy bitcoins using credit card.
There is a new money transfer service called Remitly. They let you send funds, with the transaction funded by a credit card, to the Philippines -- via the GCash network. This is primarily intended to be for remittance payments to the Philippines.
There is an exchange in the Philippines that performs exchange to and from bitcoins, and accepts GCash payments for the purchase of bitcoins.
So, ... to use Remitly, the send money form will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and last four digits of SSN.
The Philippine exchange:
