US credit card not accepted anymore

[nikad]

I really would like to know if the AFIP detect use of foreign credit cards by people with DNIs.

When there is a will there is a way I was just going through some job openings at Afip, and they are asking for big data specialists, so I guess the might be able to do it if they are investigating a person in particular.

I almost never have anyone that asks to see an ID when I charge something. Especially at restaurants I NEVER get asked for ID. If a store does ask for ID, I just show them my US driver's license. I never write my actual DNI # on any of those receipts.

I suspect that they could find out if they were after somebody specifically but would not take the trouble doing this otherwise.

Yes this was stated elsewhere in this thread. At the supermarket they do ask for the DNI though not usually in restaurants. I've never tried to use foreign ID. You do this even though you have permanent residence?

Yep. I just use my US driver's license even though I've had permanent residency in Argentina for almost 15 years. I never carry my DNI around. In the USA it's super easy to get your driver's license replaced so I just use that for an ID. Yes, in the supermarket they might ask for ID but I just use my US driver's license. Even if they ask for DNI you'll notice they NEVER fill in your DNI # on the receipt. They leave you to do it and nothing stopping you from writing in fake #.

I just don't see any rational or good reason why I'd carry around my DNI when using credit cards in Argentina.

In the supermarket the cashier types in your DNI. It is always entered.
