Buying tickets online is a mystery; it's a puzzle you need to solve. The only sure thing is that you will get frustrated but, if you persist, persist, and try all sorts of different clicks, you will be able to buy online. Part of the challenge is that you'll find yourself doing so many...

Read what Portugal just announced and you can believe the same may happen in Bs. As. Here's the link: https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/portugal-ends-golden-visas-curtails-airbnb-rentals-address-housing-crisis-2023-02-16/

Most interesting conversation about WU restrictions. I have not had any so far, and it makes me wonder why not? I normally transfer us$300 per month bank to bank and it usually takes a day or two for the transfer. Sometimes I’ll do $1k. Last November I made a much larger transfer, like 10k and...

To pay in pesos, you have to use a credit card issued in argentina.

To Florence and Agribotics. Thank you for correcting me. I believed this was the rule “ Past and present marital status determines potential benefit eligibility (typically, one must be currently married, widowed, or have had a 10-year marriage to qualify), and the benefit amount is based on a...

You need to be married for ten years before you can start collecting benefits as a spouse.

I can't answer your question, but I have a related issue. I need to buy a new iphone in USA to take for long stays in Argentina. My fear with the esim phone is that if this phone is lost or stolen in Argentina, you cannot get your USA phone number re-installed because you might not be able to...

STS7049: you are a good researcher!

I got a color copy of my DNI at Staples, in the States, and had it bound in plastic. The first time I used it at the cashier's desk in a supermarket in basas, the lady said this is fake, and did not accept it, so I paid with cash. Several times later, I had no problem except with my bank...

YPF is a big winner due to the Vaca Muerta fields. There are, however, two huge clouds hanging over YPF. There are two major lawsuits in the US Courts. One is about environmental damage in the USA, and the penalties could be several billion dollars, in which case YPF may go bankrupt. The other...

I would look for the email address of customer service for Colonia Express and write an email to them with an explanation and pics of your unused ticket. I have done this with Frappe, Volta, Alvear Palace hotel, Lo de Jesus restaurant, and Club La Nacion, and always got the correct refunds...

Two of my daughters, while in college in California, worked as servers at the Macaroni Grill, a chain of Italian semi-fancy restaurants. They drove their own cars to work, which was not longer than a 15-minute drive, and usually took care of 4 tables each. Their tips were either 15% or 20%...

Question: If you have a credit card with zero transaction fees and interbank fx rate, what's the advantage of using Revolut?

Thank you. It seems this card is liked by many, so I better join the bandwagon too. I read the Argentina has a similar card called Uala and the Brazilians have an even more popular one called Nubank, I think!

Thank you again for adding to my knowledge. Fintech is going thru a revolution in new products, and it's just difficult to stay current and understand what's going on.

Thank you for your reply. What I don't understand is the following: what is the difference between using Revolut and a credit card? In the journalist's case, she paid $1,400 pesos using 7.80 pounds via Revolut, which is nearly twice as high as she would have gotten using the blue rate.

I met with an English travel journalist yesterday. She is on a trip to Antarctica. We went to the Recoleta cemetery and they charged her an entrance fee, even though she showed her press card. Anyhow, she paid with a Revolut card, which had pesos in it. I had never heard of such a card, so I...

I called WU's customer service last night, around midnight BA time, to inquire why I had not gotten any promo codes recently. The operator told me none were available presently for Argentina, but she gave me a one-time code with 50% off their fee. Thus, try calling them if you need a discounted fee.

Hi all: I received the following promo code L6231-100304054 a few days ago, and it expires on Tuesday. Go ahead and see if you can use it. If it does NOT work, it confirms my suspicion that the code is designed only for the receiver, in this case, me. Let us know if it works. I had to transfer...

My understanding is that they can confiscate it ALL. Not just what's over the $10,000 limit, but all of it.
