Perhaps they have not yet updated their US page...it still says that that Revolut is coming soon to the USA, inviting potential clients to join the wait list...

From the article you posted regarding Revolut: Charges a markup from 0.5% to 1.5% on exchange rates on weekends Yes, I found about about this just recently after it happened to me in Hungary (where they do not use EUR). Very good point.

Yes, you must hold a citizenship of (or a residence permit in) one of the above mentioned countries, but it does not mean that you have to physically be there when you apply (you could be an Argentine with Italian passport applying for Revolut as an Italian while on vacation in Thailand, or...

I saw this review comparing the two and the review sums it up very nicely, in line with what you have outlined as well.

Unlike Revolut, neither SoFi not Schwab are contactless (mine aren't, perhaps newer cards may be, someone else may chime in). Revolut has a limit to # free extractions, but allows multiple currencies (Transferwise MC offers even more currencies). In addition to the multiple currencies which I...

I had a 'pleasure' of working at one time in the tourism sector in one of those countries where tourist tax + tourist registration were obligatory and non-compliance carried a fine of 600 eur. The problem was that most tourists had no idea about the regulation, and those that did know about...

That's right. Similarly, in all the countries where this kind of tax is visibly charged (and may require an extra step/burden for the common tourist to go out of the way and comply with the obligation to pay it), a definition of 'non-resident tourist' may exclude people with residence permits...

In Rome an equivalent to this non resident tourist tax (Tassa di Soggiorno) is 4-7 euros/person/night, depending on the type of accommodation. In Florence it is 1 euro/person/night, in Barcelona 0.75 - 2.5 eur/person/night, Dubrovnik 1.35 eur/person.night, etc. In the places where it is...

Sounds interesting. Email sent.

We discount evidence when it doesn’t square up with our goals while we embrace information that confirms our biases.

I admire you for your attitude.

Why do you think this happens (not lasting long outside Argentina)? Or perhaps, what made you come back (if you don't mind sharing)?

Ben may have a good input from the point of view of an agent. In a mean time, I can share my experience with booking online: When I was based in the Netherlands and flew frequently between AMS and IAD (Washington DC), at the time when KLM partnered with NorthWest, it was consistently cheaper...

Here we go.... Please, someone, help! Bring out the diapers!

Absolutely. But that's a different thread.

You got it. It is a very clear ("textbook") example of psychological reactance (to perceived threat, loss of autonomy, choice or freedom, etc). It is a fascinating, naturally-occurring, psychological mechanism aimed at attempting to restore freedom. It is easily observed in children, but some...

I thought that contextually it is out of love? You know, like Sudaca or Peruca...

It is not my opinion, it is scientific evidence. You are arguing in vain on the subject that you know very little to nothing about.

You assume a lot of things. And that leads to mistakes. Listen more, ponder deeply, seek credible evidence, and you, too, may learn something and evolve. What I am suggesting is hard, I know, but, in the depth of our beings, we all, and you too, want to grow and be better people.

I am sorry, are you implying that I landed from somewhere else? Where exactly should I go back to? Please enlighten me.
