A very interesting article on this subject: La estrategia del Gobierno ante la Corte está condenada a la derrota

I did another transfer this morning and it worked.

First of all, the order by the Supreme Corte is a cautelar. This is an order to provide temporary relief to the plaintiff while the Court has time to study the issue and make a final determination. Second, Alberto can disagree with the ruling, but he can't disobey it. The Supreme Court is the...

My transfer was canceled. If this goes like before, it will take them a few days to fix whatever the problem is. I've tried another transfer, just in case. I'll let you know if it works. (So much for the Christmas theory.)

Los turistas ya reciben los reintegros por el mejor tipo de cambio para compras con tarjeta An update in La Nación today, with a very confusing, incomplete and contradictory explanation of how Visa is handling this. It first says that it is handling refunds of the excess amounts for purchases...
