Yes, but isn't there a 20 (or was it 25%?) surcharge on all credit card purchases abroad? While that would certainly be better than the rate you would get buying Uruguayan pesos at a casa de cambio, it is still significantly more expensive than being able to access the official rate.

Hello everyone: I have a quick question. I am a temporary resident (student with DNI) here, who is also working en blanco in a part-time job (low salary, about 4.000 pesos a month), and my girlfriend is a monotributista who vouchers about 7.000-8.000 pesos a month. We are considering taking...
