There are plenty of places willing to sell you $1000 in bitcoins on a credit card?

Coinbase will, I believe.

Coinbase requires a verified bank account, not a credit card. Edit to add: No one will sell you BTC on a credit card because credit card transactions are reversible and bitcoin transactions are not.

Yes, but you can also optionally add a credit card. Though, looking closer, they say:

Credit cards are a backup payment method only and cannot be used to buy bitcoin directly

An additional fee of 3.1% + $0.18 will be applied to any charges made to your cards.

An additional "cash advance"/ATM fee may be applied by your bank, depending on your agreement with them.
