Looking to treat myself to a massage. Not for therapy, just for fun. Ideally looking for Swedish massage.

Tried to open an account for a new apartment I'm going to rent. 12-month service term (promotional price). Was working with a agent via text chat on the Personal website. When it came time to pay, I said it would be a credit card, and an American one at that. They said that wouldn't work and it...

Question - is there any way I can open an internet service account without an Argentine credit card or Argentine bank account? Tried to open one yesterday with Fibertel and they said I need one or the other. Not having a DNI (yet) is not a problem, they said, but the local form of payment is key.

Good to know, thanks -- I have MC as well so glad our experiences are consistent.

Has this happened to you before? Where the charges have ostensibly finished posting but then get adjusted a few days later?

Is there a delay between when the transactions are made/posted and the MEP rate reflects? I have a few charges on my US MasterCard which seem to be at the official rate. For example, a Tienda Leon ride that cost 10,500 pesos shows up as about $51 on my credit statement. Similar things for some...

Re-engaing this old thread... is there anywhere on the BCRA website or some other official government website that says the new rate for foreign credit cards will mirror the MEP rate? I've found this document on the BCRA website but it does not get as specific to say at which rate the new dollar...

Weird! Thanks for the updat.

The university is Di Tella and I'm coming from the US. Not sure whether they offer multiple payment plan options to everyone or just to international students.

even though the university won't give me any information on how and by how much they might change the monthly payments, is it still safe to assume that the 24-month plan will be best due to inflation?

Total nominal cost is about 3 million pesos and there is no difference between the three payment plans. I don't think there is any discount from paying in cash and the two longer plans appear to be interest free (on account of having the same nominal cost as the shortest plan) but the university...

Awesome, thank you so much for the info.

thanks for your response -- i'll definitely do that. i'm still confused about how to predict which of the three plans will be cheapest, so please lmk if you have any ideas! someone told me to think about it in terms of how I think usd-ars exchange rates will shake out over the time period and...

I am going to be enrolling soon in a master's degree program at Di Tella and I can choose from three possible payment plans. I need help choosing and am hoping someone here will have advice. The plans are monthly spread across 10, 20, or 24 months, and the nominal total cost is the same for all...

Yeah, it would be Schwab. Do you withdraw cash at one particular bank or do you use multiple? I mean brands, not various locations of one brand.

Hi! Does anyone know if the dolar turista applies when you are making ATM withdrawals from a U.S. bank account? I am not sure if it applies only to card purchases. Context: I'm moving to Argentina in a few weeks and have been gathering information about how to best make cash withdrawals from my...

Hi - can anyone point me to an official Argentine government website that verifies that tourists and temporary residents can use the public healthcare system? I've found lots of websites that say tourists/residents can use the system, free of charge, but I still cannot find anything from the...

Yep, have both. Actually lived in BA previously a number of years ago and am coming back. I was close to a few positions (one especially) but they fell through due to a legal/bureaucratic issue relating to getting a work visa while outside of the country.

Should I bring an apostilled copy of my graduate degree diploma? I'm preparing to work in BA and I'm assembling the various documents I need for the residency application, including the apostilled antecedentes penales (for me, an FBI background check). But now I'm thinking I should bring my...
