    Western Union money transfer

    What I do use in France is my Argentinian set of debit and credit cards , so far I have used Brubank, Banco Nación, Banco Ciudad, HSBC and Banco Provincia. They all work in Europe and they charge 75% (RG 45% and PAIS 30%) but still the exchange rate remains a solid 10-12% less than the dollar blue

    Western Union money transfer

    Sorry I didn’t specify, I’m paying with a MasterCard issued in Europe. You can also try using an American card, I just haven’t tried this step yet. I try not to change the method of payment in WU, it’s always a flag for security issues.

    If this doesn't work, check out Curve.app (referral link: https://www.curve.com/join#NMZKL59E). I've been paying all of my WU transfers with the curve card (it works like a debit frontend) and it has avoided me lots of money. I have used Bank of America, Chase, and another 2 French Bank cards...

    Why would anyone come to this country in this century?

    Couldn't have said it better, I spent 5 years and just recently left to settle in Europe and I couldn't agree more that you are not aware of the problems until you live there and then it's just damn hard to leave because of those same problems, kind of a paradox

    American Airlines cancelled my flight and booked me 18 days later. What to do?

    that's exactly what I thought after hanging up with agent # 2. he just kept saying "what is going on in Argentina?, all I see in the system are zeros, there are no flights until your return on 07/13" he also mentioned waiting a bit until AA updates the flights and that's when he insisted on...

    American Airlines cancelled my flight and booked me 18 days later. What to do?

    it seems that's the same waitlist, the agent on the WA contact was unresponsive after 17:15, even though I replied to their offering to put me in such waitlist about 30 seconds they sent the message :(

    I had booked a flight for next Wednesday, July 7th to MIA via JFK, sadly got the "changed flight, please call us" yesterday...
