    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    carride my bad. I had entered USD > ARS instead of ARS > USD gorsso I did another transaction today and received 833. They adjust the MEP rate immediately when it goes against you, but they wait a few days or longer when it works in your favor.. So cash is still your friend.

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    I got 833 on a small visa credit card transaction sunday 10/22. Very poor considering the blue rate closed at 1150/1200 on Friday. I will continue to exchange cash.

    Money transfer issue anyone?

    That sounds great but is there a way to enter your name at the ATM so the recipient knows who sent the deposit ? I will also look into Rapipago and WU, thanks

    Money transfer issue anyone?

    This is a little off topic but can I ask you guys the best way to make a very small transfer to an Argentine bank account holder ? I have found several service providers like acupuncturists, and yoga teachers request a small deposit of a few thousand pesos to reserve the appointment. I do not...

    AEP stopover Question

    Thanks @Jtee125 ! I am waiting at AEP for my flight to Cordoba. Luckily it was delayed by 90min or I likely would not have had enough time to connect.. I did have to claim my bags and recheck them here in Buenos Aires. The aduanas went through 3 of my bags due to "electronics" but luckily I...

    AEP stopover Question

    In the US you typically deal with luggage at the first point of entry and as you indicated this is not the case in Europe. The Aerolineas agent did inform me this will be US-Brazil style first entry. I will update on the forum on Thur hopefully with my luggage safe and sound in Cordoba ☺️...

    AEP stopover Question

    I just found out there was a Aerolineas office near my place so i stopped by and the guy told me I will have to carry my bags back to the check in counter but he said I could bypass the line as I will already have the boarding pass. He said as long as you have 90min at AEP you are fine.

    Can you fly into Buenos Aires from the UK without a return flight?

    Be cautious with the onward travel ticket outfits offering the 10 to 20 dollar tickets that are good for 48hrs. See the trust pilot reviews lots of people mention bad experiences.. The first company issued me a 12 dollar ticket that turned out to be just a reservation, not a confirmed (paid...

    Brazilian Reciprocity Fee Returns in October for US/Canada/Australia/Japanese Citizens

    The "reporting" from "handyvisas" appears to be incorrect. To obtain the visa you need to mail your passport to the consulate in the US. Not worth the hassle and risk imo.. https://www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/consulado-boston/visa/visa-general-information

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    The county I live in here in Florida has only tested 9 people so far. Many people do not think the virus is really a thing yet. We are having a large spike in "flu" cases though. They did not want to frighten away the tourists so officials keep everything open. . We even had an election on Tue...
