    Discount with credit card? Fake news?

    Some people told me it's true in CABA, I'm in Monte Grande and have traveled now to 5 or 6 provinces, it's been the complete opposite. True in CABA? If so any good spots? Before moving here the only time I ever paid cash was at crowded bars and tipping people. It would be nice to rack up points...

    Text nightmares

    Google voice works for all my banks except wells Fargo. The 2FA code someone mentioned. I've heard some people use Tello which I'm not familiar with but should look into. I'm paying for two phones and the US one I only use once a week.

    Update to my own post, I just checked the official dates, July 11th. I placed the order, the book's actually showed up today! No need to go to the post office or explain anything to customs. But once again these are just books.

    Receiving mail from Europe 2026 (books)

    Looks like the last topic on this was a few years ago, so let's do a 2026 version. I ordered a few books off eBay from Italy, not too expensive, and I fully realized they may never come here, but has anybody been successful in getting mail or books from another country? Should I go to the...

    Anyone renewed a precaria online lately? Aug 2026

    I went today, arrived a little before opening and waited about 90 minutes. They let me renew but only for a month. They told me I need my September bank statement come back in September blah blah.... Wish we could do more things online. Anyway, thanks as always for the help from all here.

    Hi expat friends, My lawyers tried to renew my precaria online last month, it still says it is under review. So it has been under review for over a month. They called me today and said I will likely have to go in person to renew it. Anyone else had experience at this? It's a bit...

    Your experiences with Paula Carello / Lux Brumalis?

    I am currently using Paula, there were times where she was slow to respond, but it had nothing to do with my process so I wasn't too worried. It wasn't delaying it or anything. Overall her and her team have done a good job so far. I hired her in March? Can't exactly recall when. Arrived here...

    What's a good dark roast coffee at home here?

    A little less important than my other post today, home chronic coffee drinkers, which whole Bean do you like? I French pressed my coffee so can't do the molido.

    Rensitsa Visa transfers... Western Union no bueno?

    Hi all, In the process still for rentista. I sent recent bank statements and my lawyer told me at this time not to do them via western Union debit card, and to do direct bank to bank transfers. Did anyone else run into this problem? Thanks as always to anyone who replies.
