I've been unlucky enough to lose my bank card, after turning my place upside down I decided I should cancel it before someone else started having fun with it.
Being reasonably well prepared (so I thought) I had another account and another card, however I tried to use it and it was declined. It expired at the end of June..... bad luck and planning, I know.
So, the timing couldn't have been worse as I have just moved into a new place and need to pay all the expenses up front. I have borrowed off some very nice people but really I could do with getting a lump some over here quickly to keep everyone happy.
Question 1: Does anyone know how easy it is to wire cash over from the UK and the costs involved?
Question 2: Does anyone know the best way to get a card over here?
My friend lost his credit card (mine is debit) while he was in Bariloche and customs here in BA would not release his card until he came here in person to collect his card and pay $55peso tax!!!!!! He had it shipped by courier and sugested it would avoid a lot of problems if it arrived in a birthday card rather than by courier....if it arrives at all.
Question 3. Has anyone here got more money than sense and wants to get rid of some. (joke, ja ja)
