Funny you should mention it, I was just looking at my local Disco and Matcha Life and no one had it! Thanks for the ML link, I'll order from them if I can't find it at the other Disco's in my neighborhood!

I've done 4 USA bank to Arg Bank transfers with Western Union in the last 3 months and they all took 8 days, that is why I tried the debit card option, which failed to complete. I guess we're stuck with the 8 day transfer, just means I have to plan my expenses more closely. Since the ARG peso...

I have tried using xoom.com, remitly.com and Western Union to transfer money from the USA into my Santander account, the amount arrives in pesos in my checking account. The "issue" with Western Union is it takes 8 days to complete the bank to bank transfer. I tried to use my debit card because...

Does anyone know a place where I can download the movie? I only see the trailer on youtube.

FYI, I just made my 2nd Western Union transfer from my USA bank to my Arg Santander account. After the first transfer, which took 8 days they asked me to fill out a profile form with my DNI and other pertinent info. On Nov 27 2024 I made my second transfer and it said it would be deposited a...

What has happened in the past 24 hours? Do you have any good links to articles that you're referring too?

Thanks for clarifying the problem with the google app store and gmail accounts. I'll create a new one and specify Argentina, I created my google/gmail account a long time ago.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I have Personal phone service, but they don't have my credit card information, I pay them online through my Santander bank account. On my cell, when I try and download the Pago Facil app on my cell and it says it's not available in my country.

I tried to download the Pago Facil app and it says it's not available in my country?? WTF? I have an Argentina based phone number. I couldn't find it when I searched on the app in the Google play store on my phone, so I went to the https://www.pagofacil.com.ar/app on my computer and it...

Yes, I have the transfer go right to my Santander account, I agree I always felt uncomfortable going to an exchange house because everyone walking in and walking out has cash on them. We do have a guy who comes to the house, at first I didn't feel comfortable knowing they know where I live, but...

FYI, We needed some pesos so I checked Western Union and they were giving 1,154.0000 ARS but wanted to charge a $46.99 fee for $1,000 USA transfer or $60 fee for a $2,000 transfer. Factoring in the fees the rate was either 1102.21 or 1119.66 Remitly was 1074.54 xoom.com was 1,079.4131 ARS I...

Interesting. Our Chase account is in California and last time we asked they wouldn't send the card internationally. Maybe it varies by state or they made a policy change. Thanks for the tip!

If your account is with an Argentina Chase bank it makes sense you can get a card sent to your home in Argentina, but ours is with a Chase in the USA. I've heard that the same bank name in different countries isn't really the "same" bank, for international money laundering laws they are...

Thanks for the recommendation on MoneyGram, will check them out if my next WU transfer has a large fee! I just checked out MoneyGram.com and it looks like you have to go to a MoneyGram Agent location to do the transfer? You can't do this online? Or is it just that you have to go to the...

I was very happy with my Remitly exchange a month or so ago, I forget but I think they said it was 4-5 business days for the transfer. Maybe it depends on the bank, or maybe because they needed to verify something as it was only my 2nd transfer and my first transfer was 2 years ago. Maybe...
