The hard part of money laundering is getting dirty cash into a bank account. Since you can't pay credit cards with cash the payments must come from a bank account direct debit or check. If you already have the dirty money in a bank account you don't need to further wash it by making purchases and then paying for them. If this was some kind of money laundering I would expect large amounts or thousands of transactions -- no one needs to launder $100 or less. Reporting to the card issuer and getting a new card is good advice.
