    Western Union money transfer

    I did a WU transfer on April 20. I loaded the www.capitalone.com chrome extension and have received a good discount on my last several transfers. The app is a little annoying because it pops up when you visit commercial sites that sell things, but it's worth it to get the consistently good...

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    Great, so it appears this is not a difficult process any longer. What is code A07? Did you initiate this yourself using the Santander website, or did you need to talk to a live person at a branch to do a wire transfer?

    Wallbit - Santander - Transferring USA dollars into my Santander USA dollar account

    I was on instagram when I saw an ad for Wallbit.io a virtual bank that is working with Santander bank to make it easy to transfer USA dollars into your Santander USA dollar account. I've been using Western Union to transfer money here, and it gets converted into ARG pesos on the Santander end...

    Western Union money transfer

    Thanks for this tip! I heard there was a Santander fee to receive USA $$ into your Santander USA account. I looked into my USA CitiBank and a wire transfer to Argentina in USA dollars was only $25, which I thought reasonable. However when I input my Santander information into CitiBank it only...

    Western Union money transfer

    I've been using Western Union exclusively for over a year as it offers the best rate compared with Wise or Xoom, even factoring in the fee. I also loaded a promotional code finder from https://capitaloneshopping.com/ which has saved me a lot on my last 3 transfers ($225 USA!). I'm using Chrome...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    Thanks for the suggestion of a local fiber product, that does sound very similar to what Metamucil does. I'm going to ask my medica clinica their opinion if it will keep his system working properly. We've found a good balance of using Metamucil and two spoons of chia seeds, and this looks like...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    I just compared Amazon.com and MercadoLibre, the orders for Metamucil on Mercado Libre are twice the cost of Amazon, even with the shipping costs. I haven't done an international order with Amazon for awhile, maybe Amazon doesn't show you the import tax until you order it and that could be the...

    Fiber Supplements Needed

    I'm running out of Metamucil for my husband, he really needs it as some of his medications cause binding. I checked MercadoLibre and all the Metamucil orders are from international companies. I did order a couple items from their international deliveries and it worked fine, although of course...

    Red De Balcon - Balcony Fall Protection For Kids

    We adopted Rafa (Rafael) over a year ago and he's turned into a real beautiful kitty, he's now about 1.5 years old so he's at his peak of craziness. I don't let him out on the balcony, but he's fast and sometimes runs out there when I'm trying to slip out, I want to get the safety screening...

    U.S. Drivers License

    I'm in a similar situation, my Florida license expires next year in February, I was using my aunt's address in Florida and when I got the license the first time there was this legal document that said if I don't actually live there I'm committing some kind of fraud crime. A little unsettling...

    Western Union money transfer

    I think Western Union knows I'm cheating on him/her with Wise.com I just did another transfer with Wise and didn't check WU before I did it. After making the transfer with Wise, I checked WU and they were offering me 33% off their transfer fee. I've been using WU monthly for almost a year and...

    Getting a non-VOIP US phone number from Tello for 2FA

    Wow, great info on WIFI calling, thanks! As far as "Pay as you go" it's under "My Settings", the attached capture is from using a web browser on a PC to go to Tello.com to look at "My Settings" It might look different if you're trying to access it from the phone app. Cheers and thanks again...

    Getting a non-VOIP US phone number from Tello for 2FA

    I recently switched to Tello with eSIM, mostly because of the comments on baexpats.org when skype was shutting down phone services. I have a new Samsung +25 phone. I had a USA based phone number that I had purchased through skype, I had this phone number transferred to Tello. When...

    Pedidosya - Is it working?

    Which debit/credit card do you use to place the order? With which bank? Seems like Pedidos doesn't like Santander cards. Also, the option to pay cash says it's above their limit, so I can't place the order. I've used different browsers on my PC and the phone app does the same, refuses my...

    Pedidosya - Is it working?

    I used to use https://www.pedidosya.com.ar/ and it worked fine, then awhile back (a year? two?) it wouldn't accept my Argentina Santander debit or credit cards. I recently tried it again, and the same thing, it won't accept my local debit or credit card and it says paying with cash option...

    Western Union money transfer

    I made my first Wise transfer today, I did have to supply a bank statement with my name on it because the USA Citibank checking account is a joint account with my husband. They said it could take 1 business day to approve, but it was approved in less than 10 minutes. WU still had a better...

    Vidrieria for custom glass candle holder

    The glass is over 25 years old, so who knows if that size jar is still manufactured. The great thing I love about Buenos Aires is there are still lots of people who do custom work for a reasonable price, it's just finding the right person and you usually get that from a referral! I live near...

    Vidrieria for custom glass candle holder

    I bought these really cool hand made candle holders 25 years ago in Bariloche. Our new gatito, Rafa, was doing his morning insane routine when he broke one of the glass enclosures. It appears to be a mason jar that they cut the bottom off and inverted the original "top" into the base of the...
