<p>For Canadian credit cards, you can use the service of YesToBitcoins.com, although it supports credit cards only, so no prepaid credit cards.</p>

This looks like a valid solution, but the site doesn't do a great job of explaining themselves (their explainer videos are worthless), and neither does your answer.  Perhaps you could edit your answer to give a better explanation about what this service does and how it solves the OP's problem.

<p>If you live in the states the only service that comes close to this would be</p>

<p><a href="https://www.xmlgold.eu/" rel="nofollow">https://www.xmlgold.eu/</a>  - you can even order a pre-paid credit card that you are able to top up with bitcoins.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.okpay.com/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.okpay.com/en/index.html</a> - Okpay used to offer the same service but due to regulatory reasons they have ceased offering thier services to US citizens.  </p>

<p>The only other way I can think of to do this would be to use <a href="http://bitcoin-otc.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bitcoin-otc.com/</a>  here you  can see if you can find anyone willing to pay off your credit card for bitcoins.  Its kind of like online trading pit.  Hope this helps.</p>

UPDATE now https://www.xmlgold.eu/ says "Country restriction: We do not serve customers from USA, please accept our apologies."  Any idea why? any other service?

Lately it is observed that the Crypt Currency is used for malicious purposes, so countries have started banning the services to reduce similar usage in their country.

<p>So imagine that I have 200 USD on my credit card balance from a bunch of small purchases and bar drinks and tips that I want to pay using bitcoins. </p>

<p>I know that I can but gift cards from gyft or do online purchases using joinsnapcard. But If I invite a round on my local non-bitcoin-friendly bar, I want to pay with bitcoin anyways (even I I use credit card system as proxy)</p>

<p>Is there any service that does that for me?</p>

<p><strong>Edit 2017-07-27</strong>:  There is a debit card that can be funded with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin (via Coinbase) called ShiftCard <a href="https://www.shiftpayments.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.shiftpayments.com/</a> </p>

<p>Thanks,

If you live in the states the only service that comes close to this would be

<https://www.xmlgold.eu/> - you can even order a pre-paid credit card that you are able to top up with bitcoins.

<https://www.okpay.com/en/index.html> - Okpay used to offer the same service but due to regulatory reasons they have ceased offering thier services to US citizens.

The only other way I can think of to do this would be to use <http://bitcoin-otc.com/> here you can see if you can find anyone willing to pay off your credit card for bitcoins. Its kind of like online trading pit. Hope this helps.
