There was a site called buybitcoin that accepted credit card payments back in 2010.
I managed to find an old thread about it here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1765.0

Apparently there was another site with almost identical name: https://www.buybitcoins.com/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=987.0
The link now gives a Your Connection is not Private error.

There were some as far as I can see, just do google to find some info and I found this https://www.coindl.com/buy-bitcoin-with-credit-card/
The article posted in the end of 2010 and it tells you some sites that accept credit card, they are cex.io, virwox, and coinbase. You may check the link for further information but I'm not so sure whether the information is true or not because I knew about bitcoin 4 years after the launch.

@Bitinity
At this time Coinbase and Cex.io didn't exist  Smiley (Coinbase is about 6 years old and Cex.io ~5)

@keychainX
If I remember correctly, during a time, MtGox had a card option (and even Paypal but it was removed once it started to deal with Bitcoin). It's something you could check with Archive.org. We talk about debit card right? (not credit card tied to a loan)

Yes, Debit card, I am trying to track a transaction to a service that was made with a debit card.
