Where did you hear that? I don't like how that sounds...that will mess up a few things. Do you know when that might take place?

It just occurs to me that their might be alternatives to the need for dollars here. Maybe I am missing something here but... Why can't Argentines just purchase other more stable currencies, such as the Real, or Euros instead of dollars? The blue rate dollar is higher than the euro...even...

I would like to know what you guys use for map applications here. I am interested if anyone has a good offline one. The only one I have found really sucks... The best one so far that I know of is MiIteniero (Something like that) for the bus system. Its pretty good...

Yeah I had to send Xoom a letter saying I released them from liability for sending my ID to MoreMT here...but after that I had no problems.

I want to transfer some money to my girlfriend via Xoom. I have read before on here that there is some kind of limit of 10,000 pesos per transaction that you can perform. Does anyone have information on that? I already sent her about 9,000 last month through Xoom, and we had to fill out some...

What kind of account did you send it to? Was it to your own or the account of an Argentine citizen? And when you sent dollars, did they convert them into pesos upon arrival, and if so what rate did they give you?

2 coffees? More like one...maybe you can get two from a guy on the street! I remember when I first got here in 2008 I was trying to live as cheaply as possible, and I had to fight so hard not to only eat choripan for 3 pesos each...I still remember empanadas for less than 3 pesos too!

I am trying to transfer some money right now to my girlfriend's bank account and I am having some of the same things asked of me. I was asked to provide a scan of an ID and a release letter stating Xoom can send my information to their "partner in Argentina" (More MT) and that I would not hold...

Being from Chicago, I can agree that if you got a place in Millennium Park for the same price...you are crazy for being here! If they jerk you around just turn them in to AFIP or threaten to do so...that usually shuts them up. In our case our landlord makes us pay in dollars or the blue...

Thats funny because every time I have had a transfer I have always missed the confirmation call on my local Argentine cell...and they have never canceled it for that. I do however have plenty of experience with Xoom to know their company is run by a bunch of idiots...especially their call...

So just looking for some clarification on sending money to an Argentine account. I am currently in the US for a few weeks and I want to send my girlfriend some money($1500). Instead of sending it for cash pickup I was thinking of just sending it directly to her Citi account there. I have a few...

Does the iPod dock have speakers on it? I would assume so...but I cant really tell for sure from the pic.

So when make my transfer...can i jgo there with that form filled out already and thats it? Or should i just show up and play the dumb tourist and wait for them to give me the form to fill out?

So all I do is fill this thing out, and then email it to xoom after I put my transfer in? How exactly does that work...do you have any experience doing this?

Thats gonna be a problem...anyone else have this happen to them? I was planning on getting a $1000 US this week. Did you call the one on Libertad? Not that I don't believe you...but people in this country often tell you stuff when they have no clue. So I would wonder if you can still go and do...

Xoom offers a great product, but has a terrible service! They have blown 3 of my credit cards and have simply told me that "our system will not let you use that card"...The only thing I did was listen to their instruction and they all on their own froze my card for no reason. Even though they...

How does one get dollars out in Uruguay? I would love to find a way to get dollars out of my US bank accounts (Chase and Schwab) or using Xoom. Is there anyway I can get dollars out when I go for a visa run to Colonia for the day, and then bring them back to BA with me?

Sounds like the normal bureaucratic beauty we should all have come to love and enjoy here in Argentina... Thanks for the help!

What if you send it to an Argentine bank account? Since the transfer is in Dollars, can't Argentines pull Dollars out of their account as long as they have them in there?

So I am wondering about any way we can get dollars from our banks in the US here. For example, I know that we can use Xoom to get a great exchange rate here, but we cannot pick up dollars. What about using Xoom to transfer dollars to my girlfriend's (she is Argentine) bank account, could she...
