I have now used
trucoin.com
's service to buy
BTC
with a credit card. They have only been offering this service for a few days now, and it is limited to just eight states now (although they promise service to many more soon).
Step-by-step instructions for opening a wallet at
blockchain.info
and using
trucoin.com
's service are detailed below:

doesn't trucoin have huge fees? something like 5% fee + another mark-up (i think it was like 2% mark-up over exchange price)? seems like a pretty big haircut. not as bad as virwox i guess.

Yeah, I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of BTC if your sole purpose is low transaction fees. If that is not your goal, then 5% is not too much to pay for the ability to use a credit card.

Yes, trucoin charges 5%. They also charged me $3.00 as a one-time set up fee.
Still, where I am there are very few people around who will exchange BTC for my cash. 5% is quite reasonable for me.

Do you not have a bank account? If so, Coinbase only charges 1% i think. You can just deposit your cash in a checking account and then use coinbase

well, safe in what sense? an online wallet is inherently less safe than other forms of storage. but a blockchain.info wallet is much safer than a 3rd party wallet, like Coinbase, where you don't control your private keys...

In contrast, blockchain.info wallet is not as safe as an offline wallet as your bitcoin will be gone if you are using an unsafe computer and without 2FA.

sure. but a hot wallet has its place -- you need a wallet that connects to the internet for day-to-day spending, etc. only keep what is necessary in there.

ALWAYS use 2 factor authentication when possible.
Trucoin is a little high on percent, but then again it cost's a ton to exchange btc to cash legally and comply to US laws (ie not considered money laundering in US). Coinbase is a better option in my opion they are lower percent and also follow the know your customer and other laws.
There is always localbitcoin aswell just be careful on making sure to find someone trusted.
