Just tried it again, my 2 Dutch debit cards and even one Dutch Credit Card (Mastercard, though in NL these are deducted automatically at the end of the month, so. they are more like a delayed-debit card) all did not work in several Banelcos.
They only worked in Banco de Nacion, where the limit was 1000 pesos, with a charge of 83,40 pesos (!) in addition of the 2 euro or so my Dutch bank will charge.
So that was a one-time experiment for now.
The good news is that I just made a debit payment in a shop, against the official (good) Euro rate, without any local costs and only 0,15 Euro bank costs, so it seems that is the way to go now.
Sometimes the issuing banks reject the transactions if you do not have a travel notification on the card. So you might maybe try that. Also do your cards have chips?
