Turismo Surcharge..? On Credit Cards Purchases Etc-

[Rich One]

I read that travel agencies on bookings for future travel, reserve the right to apply all future surcharges before departure?? Is the price final if charged to Argentine CC in 12 payments?

New $8,10 dollar applies for luxury cars, motorcycles , planes and yachts, .?

Do not know about future penalties. But there are new credit card rules: http://www.iprofesional.com/notas/174963-Los-bancos-encarecen-la-cancelacin-de-los-gastos-con-tarjetas-de-crdito-en-dlares

Government is not going to release foreign funds until debt in pesos is settled? Sounds like a reservation will be held but not finalized until peso debt is settled. Sounds like a 17% interest charge until one has a zero balance? Very confusing for me.

To me too and I thought it was my insufficient Castellano!

From your link Google translation.... very clear.

Moreover, in the last hours, the wholesale travel agencies were obliged to warn those who choose to make the purchase of tour packages in installments, payments made are Not Final?

Because the wholesale travel sector does not obtain advance authorization from the AFIP for the central bank to turn them the dollars needed to cancel the total of such operations, says Reporter.
Thus, customers who pays in one cuota the entire tour package will not have to suffer potential surcharges for its operation in the future, but those who decide to finance that purchase, are liable to the charges generated by new steps taken, to make more expensive the tourist dollar, by the Government..

A place where you'll never get bored. A place where nothing stays the same. A far away land where even the internet forums are unpredictable. A place where you don't know how much money will be in your bank account the next month. Pack your bags and come to Argentina.

When will the government release/approve payment to a foreign entity: client has a zero peso balance?

The doors are closing tighter and tighter. Starting to look like Argenzuela.

The Travel Agent reqiuests the Dollars to pay the Airline, the AFIP reviews and approves for central bank to release funds,may take a week or a month? each of the 12 Cuotas is subject to same procedure in the future?

One may have a reservation, however, that ticket is not finalized until the dollars are deposited in the airline's account: settled. Government drags their feet releasing funds, something Venezuela does regularly, you are not going anywhere. Do not know for sure, but something is rotten Denmark with this deal, I think.
