I am using this now by default -- did a couple of experiments, showing the same, it's around 305 payout. Today I did MERCADOLIBRE (!!!) and it works great. No more picking up and/or schlepping cash to PagoFacil. 1. The net-net is it was about a $135 purchase. This is with this MEP foreign...

An English friend got cut odd earlier in the year but upon returning a few months later, it was working again. On the other hand, I pull a lot out and have had perfect luck w/American account.

Bueno, I’ll be todays idiot: ran out of cash, bought a Starbucks, got charged at old rate. Not up yet. 🙏

Palermo today all $200's 🤦‍♂️

Personally, they paid me out 303.5 today (cash pickup) which if we look at street rate for paper dollars, effectively ALMOST zeros out the fee. I think it puts me at like 273 vs 287 bills sold on street. And I can keep my paper dollars on me for safety. Dollar for dollar moneygram is worse for...

It’s homemade so it wont be exactly like Philadelphia. I personally find it more delicious but that’s me. :))

Geez. At that rate, you’re better off buying USDT crypto on Binance.us etc and sending it to any of the myriad Cuevas that take it.

This is good advice, even with small locations and unofficial offices, if they know you they will tell you when good times are to come for cash. Sometimes a crappy resource becomes great when you know what their cash flow schedules are like. I have my hidden gems near me that I do this with.

Still no new code(s)? 😭

Likely will just not have it. Sometimes you can ask when they will and after a few failed attempts and come-back-later’s (of course) they eventually make it happen.

Maybe they’re pocketing the float! Let dollar market price rise a little — especially when it’s obvious — and then pay you out the previous lower numerical amount.

I made a cash-pickup transfer from a US acct ($5 instead of $2) and was able to pick it up just fine. Had to jump around a few branches near the center but ultimately Latin Express took care of me. Looks like they take in plenty of money so it was all good. Ended up with more pesos than WU...

Very cool, I assume you’re with an American account. I don’t get it at all. They’re still charging me full boat. Where are you going to pick up that many pesos? I’ve generally tried to cap my withdraws at $300 because often times the locations I go to don’t have enough pesos. ** EDIT ** ah I see...

I went ahead and tried a cash pickup MoneyGram transaction. There is a $5 cost for cash pickup using debit card (would have been $2 debit to bank, so nbd especially when I can conserve paper dollars). Cheaper than WU for me when there’s no Wu code, and I don’t have to sell paper dollars. Now...

Still no new WU fee reduction code? I have a US account and have received not one special offer email ever. 😭

Buy USDT for the rest. Sell it at many Cuevas.

Why because they spy on you? I heard they call you in to explain yourself if you receive more than some paltry amount of foreign transfers in a month.

Can also sell USDT (tether crypto) at almost any storefront cueva for 2-4% off blue and some take bitcoin directly, which if you buy with Strike in the US is cheap as chips.

Does she offer help through this process? I've been here over two years, qualify for rentista residency but would like to move straight forward to citizenship, owing to the two years. I have been working with someone whose become non-responsive who was asking me to provide all the usual info...

Yeah, it's a lifesaver here. I prefer real books and I have heard books pass through Aduana ok without the usual scam / theft / extortion, but still -- it's nice to just get a book instantly and start reading. Has been a godsend for me, really. ** I'll tell you a cool trick too, if you can't...
