The entire time I've been using it (about 5 months). They only ask for standard basic identifying info for the sender and receiver.

Highly recommend using MoneyGram in lieu of WU. If you use a U.S. debit card to send to a virtual wallet, there's no fee, and then you can just transfer the money to your Argentine bank account if you need paper bills. Sure, there's an extra step of a transfer after the first transfer, but I...

Yeah, I read the Times article only quickly, but it seems the main thrust is that the minimum wage is losing purchasing power and not average incomes. Misleading to not not specify that in the title of the article.

Sounds like you're in the U.S. in which case an FBI criminal background check is standard: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks Edit: re-read your post and you probably already know that an FBI background check is the document...

Hi, I am getting ready to request a third year of temporary residency, and this time I am thinking of requesting it as a worker (trabajador migrante) and not as a student, which I have had for these two years, even though I still have the option of requesting it as a student. An immigration...

Pizza here is generally garbage, though there are a few places in CABA that are good (Cuartito, Cuartetas, Almacén de Pizzas, generally most Neapolitan style places)

Right, we’re thinking the latter case. They’re in fairly good health and are thinking of what-ifs. So if they have to go to an urgent care/guardia for an accident or fall unpredictably ill, they should be able to go to any public hospital and be seen? Edit: forgot I had replied earlier and...

I was thinking more if they need to go to a guardia/urgent care.

Friend of mine from the U.S. will be visiting me in CABA soon and they're wondering whether/how they'll be able to use the public healthcare system here in case of an emergency. They'll be here for a few days. Can anyone share their experiences using the public healthcare system with regards to...

What am I missing? What benefits do they get for participating? Favorable tax treatment on the assets, which presumably they wouldn't have paid if they hadn't regularized the assets in the first place? I thought people here didn't trust local banks, ergo why they kept USD in the colchón in the...

As of right now: seems there is a first transfer promo rate of 1244.38/1, while the rate is 1201.43 if I log into my account having already made several transfers before.

I recently started using MoneyGram and like it very much. Someone on the forum recommended it. It seems you can send fee-free transfers from the U.S. if you (1) pay with a debit card and then (2) send to a virtual wallet. You can also pay with a credit card, but there's a fee, and I haven't...

Really good to know, thanks. Are transfers from US Debit to Argentine digital wallet always fee-free or just for the first time?

You can transfer USD from a foreign bank account to a Mercado Pago wallet? If so -- what is the exchange rate? Do they charge fees?

Local wallet = local bank account?

Does Zelle work for sending sending USD->ARS transfers to an Argentine bank account?

What was the process like for getting paid, both the reimbursement of the money you fronted for the product as well as the reward for delivery?

Very soon

Thinking of doing this for my next trip to/from the US and wondering if others can share their experiences. Seems a little weird that I would have to buy the item myself and eventually have Grabr.io reimburse me, but if you've done it and it has worked out fine, let me know!

Hi, I have two tickets to give away to tonight's showing of Turnadot at the Teatro Colón. I was going to go with two friends, but they're both sick. I'm still going, so you'd have to sit with me, but if you're interested in one or both of the tickets, send me a PM. Show starts at 8pm.
