USPS SSA Window Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT something that can be purchased with a credit card?

1. Movie tickets

2. Gift cards

3. Money orders

4. Groceries

The correct answer is: Money orders

The correct answer is the option associated with money orders because typically, money orders are issued by banks and some retail locations and are generally purchased using cash, debit, or preloaded funds rather than a credit card. This practice helps avoid certain fees or issues associated with cash advances, which can arise when using a credit card to purchase a money order. In contrast, movie tickets, gift cards, and groceries can often be purchased with a credit card. Many cinemas and online platforms accept credit cards for movie tickets, and gift cards are widely available for purchase at various retailers using credit cards. Grocery stores also accept credit cards as a standard method of payment at checkout.
