Is that the only way? I'll have to pay double because I won't get blue dollar rate, right? Or do they bill in pesos?

Colonia Express won't take an American card (it rejects the transaction) and don't have an american site. Currently not in BA but dont want tickets to sell out. Any ideas?

Did you use an American credit card on the Argentine site? It keeps declining my purchase, as do the airlines when I try to purchase on their Argentine sites in pesos.

Ah ok, so they get to collect 40% more than the advertised price because they won’t let anyone pay in pesos. They of course give the 185 rate not the MEP when they do their own conversion and charge on dollars. $600 for 3 people for a one hour flight is ridiculous.

Which browser? Using vpn in the USA and when I go to the document type, there is nothing listed in the drop-down menu.

That's the issue. They charge you directly in dollars and cost is WAY higher as you don't get the MEP rate. Totally fine with Argentinians getting a cheaper fare as locals, but it's just ridiculous that they charge you directly in dollars so they can collect even more pesos than advertised, when...

I can't buy tickets on colonia express anyways, for some reason the "document type" dropdown doesn't have any available selections.

It looks like It looks like seacat is out of business :(

Good to know. So they charge you in pesos and you get blue dollar rate even if the website lists prices in dollars? Which car rental agency did you use?

Is Amex still not working? Why?

This was with a US Mastercard? Every time I tried with visa it would go pending and then AA said the charge was rejected, even though it wasn’t rejected when I called capital one. I think they don’t want to give local rates to Americans. I paid through the nose in dollars-I wish I knew this...

Looking to rent a car from Avis (or give other suggestions if you have them) in FTE, USH and MDZ. With Avis, will they let you give a credit card as a deposit but then pay cash when you return the car to get the blue dollar rate? I've tried calling but can't get in touch with any Avis office in...

Does this mean that an Australian adapter won't work?

It is coming out to AR28,296 on colonia's site, which is about $153 for the whole family. It's $146 on Direct Ferries. We're flying in from Mendoza the night before, so we're worried about a delay and missing the ferry and having to take a later one. Will Colonia let me reschedule the night...

I won't be in BA until early March. Would you wait?

Looking at taking the Colonia Express to MVD on 3/21. Prices are currently around 9000 pesos per person. I don't think I'll get the blue dollar rate based on other recent purchases online. If I wait until the day of to buy a ticket, are they likely to have sold out or have doubled in price? I'm...

So now, Visa uses review like mastercard and blue rate posts after rather than right away? Was the prepaid card loaded online or in-person?

credit card or debit?

Any data points on credit cards?

If using an American or other foreign card, they force you to use the site in dollars. I just paid through the nose for a flight to FTE and USH. When I tried to pay in pesos, it goes pending then falls off. It just doesn't work if you don't use an Argentine card and you end up paying a lot more.
