    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    At this point it should work, as they haven’t figured out how to make the distinction. I did it with the physical card using the chip and with Mercado Pago using my card as the funding source.

    I started getting partial refunds back for purchases with my Apple Card (MasterCard) using the physical card and also as a Maercado Pago funding source. The exchange rate ended up being 297 ARS to 1 USD.

    No More Reciprocity Fee For Us Passport Holders

    I also read of the possibility of Argentina being part of the Global Entry Program. What would the difference be between the VWP and the GEP? I know Panama and Mexico are the 2 LatAm countries part of the GEP. I tried googling but I still don't quite get it.
